Just to show what an idiot Ray Hudson is, he is 100% wrong about what GolTV offers; there is NOT soccer 24/7. They waste a lot of time with Spanish-language infomercials, and they repeat the same games constantly. In a given week, they only offer about 6 or 7 hrs of live soccer. And they do NOT offer Serie A; that is the domain of the far superior Fox Soccer Channel. Stupid Geordie can't even pitch his own employer correctly.

Jstow, to be fair, when the interview was recorded, GolTV did have the rights to Serie A. On a typical weekend, GolTV shows more live soccer than Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta Sports. GolTV has Spanish-language infomercials, yes. But Fox Soccer Channel shows infomercials on Saturday mornings also.

[jstow01]

You've missed the point. Hudson said his awful network shows soccer "24/7" which is wholly inaccurate and a lie. And don't count the awful, unwatchable Colombian, Ecuadoran and other rubbish South American leagues as "more live soccer than FSC". This channel blows.

[thegaffer]

JStow, GolTV is as 24/7 soccer as is VH-1 is 24/7 music. It's a reality that most TV networks show infomercials during their off-peak hours. The South American leagues are still considered soccer whether you like it or not. In addition to coverage of the Bundesliga, GolTV has TV coverage of arguably the best league in the world - La Liga, as well as coverage of other leagues and 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

Why do you have such an axe to grind with Ray Hudson and GolTV?

Ray Hudson makes futbol even more enjoyable to watch he's the reason i wake up early on sat mornings just to watch la liga games. U Mr. Hudson r a legend

[TheEvilPadawan]

Holy crap what was in those tissues? GROSS!

[Menozification]

I played soccer, coached soccer and watch as much soccer as possible...I turn off the volume when Ray Hudson is having an orgasm which seems to be most of the time. What a pompous human being. His wife must be working overtimne washing his undies.

@mtyspitta and anyone who thinks the la liga as a whole which all comes down to barce, real rivalry is more entertaining than watching the EPL is smoking crack. EPL is so fast, so tense, and so rough that its not even comparable. regional and status rivalry is embedded in every match and is not just limited to two league games every season like the la liga. in EPL each season there are literally 4-5 teams that are legitimate title challengers and that is incredible. That is why EPL is superior
