I did a quick look via thread titles and didn't see this, if its been posted my bad


quote:

NBCUniversal is capping that off with what they’re calling “Championship Sunday” on May 11th. The final day of the Premier League season features all 20 teams playing at the same time on one Sunday. The networks of NBC will cover all of them, every single one, live.

Because of the Spanish Grand Prix, CNBC will kick off the network’s final day coverage with Premier League Live at 9 a.m. ET. At 10 a.m. ET, the following networks will all televise a Premiere League match:


NBC
NBCSN
USA
CNBC
MSNBC
Bravo
SyFy
Esquire
E!
Oxygen
Telemundo
mun2

That means every single game will have a (fairly) widely distributed broadcast, while two will also be available in Spanish (in case you’re wondering how 20 teams playing 10 games fit into 12 networks). At Noon ET, NBC and NBCSN will simulcast a post-game, season wrap-up edition of Premier League Live. Rebecca Lowe, Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle will be the talent as usual.

It’s pretty likely that the three biggest networks involved in coverage (NBC, NBCSN and CNBC) seem destined to grab games featuring the three serious title contenders — Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City. It’ll also be interesting to see how NBC handles teams facing the threat of relegation. Not only may Chelsea be fighting for a title, Cardiff City (their opponents) will be desperate to avoid being dropped to the Championship.

It's a shame that the title race will likely be over by then but hope to see some good relegation battles.

That was the best 2 hours of sports television I have ever watched. Manu/City for the title, arsenal/Tottenham battling for 4th and some unreal stuff from the relegation matches.

If there were ever a day for me to go to Finn's for the first time it might be that day. Actually I may have to ease into it, that could be system over load. It's incredible how far this sport has come in this country, I've been saying for 5 years now this is my favorite sports day of the year. Thanks for letting us know.

That was horse shite, once QPR found out they were staying up, it was operation shut down. A game that started the same time as everyone else, went to HT with everyone, yet finished 5+ minutes later than everyone else???

This is why Goals Scored/Goal Difference,etc is a stupid way of deciding a tie for the League title.

1 game playoff at Wembley.

Seems like a one match playoff would be enormous

I don't even want to get started on that.

Even the QPR and City fans were partying together. The only person on QPR who didn't give up was of course Joey Barton.

It was amazing.

I was at my mom's house waiting for her to get ready so I could take her to lunch for Mother's Day.

United won...fans got all excited.
City fans look down in the dumps.

Stoppage time.

Dzeko scores. I lose my mind and think of what could have been.
Swagotelli slides the ball ever so dangerously to the Kun who slams it in.
Aguero rips his shirt off. Joe Hart goes crazy. Mancini runs around celebrating with one hand in his pocket and one hand fist pumping, as is tradition. I REALLY lose my mind.

Rooney is shown on the side of the tv. He has a sad.

Not horse shite. I specifically remember the ref of the Man City/QPR game delaying the start of the 2nd half so that the City match and United match would start the 2nd half at the same time.

Also, goal difference, schmoal difference. If you remember, City pulled the double on United, so they had them on goal difference AND head to head. They also scored SIX goals at Old Trafford, so they had them on "away goals".

Let City have their ONE. Sorry TWENTY isn't enough for you.

I actually called the Man City 85 minutes into the game when it was still 2-1 QPR. I told my dad that were going to score two goals for whatever reason. My parents did not really understand the magnitude of the situation and how crazy the ending was. It was not as much fun to not have anyone else celebrate Man U not winning the league.
