All times are EST. Home teams are listed first, only live games listed. Fox Soccer Plus has largely given itself over to rugby on Saturday.
English Premier League:
Sixteenth place Birmingham City (LDWWL) squares off against seventeenth place West Bromwich Albion at St. Andrew’s Stadium at 7:30 a.m. on ESPN2.
Second place Arsenal (WWDWW) faces eighth place Sunderland (WLLLL) at Emirates Stadium in London at 10:00 a.m on Fox Soccer Channel.
Ninth place Newcastle United (LDDWD) takes on eleventh place Everton (DLWLW) at St. James’Park at 10:00 a.m on Fox Soccer Plus.
Third place Manchester City (LDWLD) plays twentieth place Wigan Athletic (LDWDL) at Manchester City Stadium at 12:30 p.m. on Fox Soccer Channel.
Italian Serie A:
Only one game today, but it is an important one: seventh place Juventus (LWWLL) versus first place AC Milan (DDWWW) at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin. While Juventus is seventeen points behind AC Milan, this is a contest steeped in tradition.
Spanish La Liga Primera:
Tenth place Mallorca (DWLLW) hosts third place Valencia (WWDWL) at Iberostar Stadium at 12 noon on ESPN Deportes.
First place Barcelona (WDWWW) meets fifteenth place Real Zaragoza (DLLDW) at the Nou Camp Stadium at 2 p.m. on ESPN Deportes.
Eighth place Atlético Madrid (LLWDD) face fourth place Villarreal (LLDDW) at the Vicente Caldéron Stadium at 4 p.m. on Gol TV.
German Bundesliga:
Third place Hanover 96 (LWDWW) featuring American Steve Cherundolo as team captain plays fourth place Bayern Munich (WLWWL) at the AWD Arena at 9:30 a.m on Gol TV.
Second place Bayer Leverkusen (WLWWD) squares off against fourteenth place Wolfsburg (LLLLW) at the BayArena at 12:30 p.m. on Gol TV. I have a feeling the Wolfsburg players and coaching staff will need some samples of Bayer Leverkusen’s sponsor’s most famous product after this game.

NUFC forever!

bet on Real Madrid last Thurs. Easiest $ evah. CRenaldo hatty sealed it. So little parity in the Spanish League

Thank you Randinho!
Hot tip: If you’re a DirecTV subscriber, the Fox Soccer Plus channel is offering a free preview from March 8th through the 15th. Looking very forward to that!

Going to have to catch some of these! Thanks for posting the schedule – have to get my head out of the sand once in a while.

Big game for Bayern coach Louis van Gaal. Should Bayern lose to Hanover they would fall five points beind them in the fight for the last CL qualification place and van Gall will likely get the sack.
The Bayern bigwigs could live with not winning the Bundesliga and crashing out of the domestic cup, but not qualifying for the CL next year is an absolute No-No. Got Klinsmann kicked out five games before the end of the season.
Anybody saying before the begin of the season that Bayern would have to battle Hanover for third place and qualification to the CL would have been laughed out of the room.

I’ll be streaming the Aston Villa game (hopefully). Looks like I picked a great year to get interested in Premier League. That’s not quite as sarcastic as it sounds.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@Brian S (formerly Incertus):
Well, if you decided to follow the Villains, I can see where you’re coming from. Had you hopped the Bolton or Sunderland trains- two teams not to far above AV on the table- you’d probably be feeling pretty good about the Premiership right now.
D-Notice
Man City’s ground is actually the City of Manchester Stadium, not Manchester City Stadium.

Thanks Randinho–this is a great service!
KJinGA
so… did Birmingham City & West Bromwich agree to play no defense?

@Brian S (formerly Incertus): If you are following the relegation battle, it will be an unbelievably tight year. Bottom 11 teams all within six points of one another.
Brian S (formerly Incertus)
Only at a distance. Downside of streaming the games–at least the way I’m able to access them–is that they’re not always in English. Like this morning. Oh well.

I was out of town for the Fulham-MC game, but recorded it. No goal for Dempsey, but Fulham played with heart. Damien Duff (Jesus he is everywhere on the pitch and plays his heart out) and the (many times removed) Dempsey are the Sons of Ireland core for Fulham.
I’m off to see the game.

Does anyone give up more stoppage time/end of the half goals than VIlla? Jeebus.

No Song means no dance for Arsenal. Denilson seems to have regressed to a second-division player.
Randy Paul
@djangone: Agreed
@D-Notice: Of course you’re right. Kindly blame it on the hour I posted.

Arsenal got screwed, by the way.Titus Bramble should have been sent off and they should have gotten a PK for the clear push in the back by Bramble.
Also, Arshavin was not offside on at least one breakaway.
That being said, consistency, thy name is not Nicklas Bendtner.
