Good game Ars-Mcy though, in comparison to the two 0-0's before it. I'd expect good figures given that Arsenal are 3rd/4th biggest draw in the league and City -- the Champions -- are 5th.
Certainly in the excess of 700,000 I'd expect.
I doubt it would be anything substantially more, I think they would be happy with that figure.

When the bt box appears in the bottom left hand corner of the tv screen and it is showing live stuff in it , it needs to be a lot bigger but when it is showing highlights in it , it needs to stay small like it is now

No as it's not their own coverage. Unless they use it in the studio for interviews as they have a couple of times on other football.

MotoGP was live before it. The footie was slated to begin at 2:15 on BT2 after.

But they're not going to cut off coverage of MotoGP for an Italian footie game of little importance are they....
If it was the Milan derby, yes, but Fiorentina v Genoa... Nope

Seems they'll soon be launching BT Sport Extra (red button service, complete with customary terrible logo) - so hopefully on occasions like this they'll put the start of coverage behind the red button.

Good news, James Richardson will be presenting the Europa League coverage on Thursday along with the EFS pundits. Good sign for next season, hopefully.

Quite right to, he should of done this last season and with his vast knowledge of European football he should host the Europa Cup next season but saying that I thought Humphreys will host the Champion's League but that could be up for some debate now.

I think Humphreys will be out on the scrap heap faster than an Formula 1 car

I don't think he is making many friends at the moment that's for sure.

I wouldn't read anything into Richardson doing EL this season as far as next season is concerned.

BT doesn't have any English clubs in the EL. OK, I know they have Celtic but BT's EL ratings will be absolutely miniscule compared to their PL ratings.

Im hoping they get
Steve Rider or
Jim Rosenthal. But if they do get Gary Linekar they need to bring Alan Hansen in as a pundit

Especially given the result and joyous scenes that followed. I would have been very miffed if they had cut it short (in fact they did cut if short of Vale making his customary podium encore when winning in Italy).

The difficulty for BT Sport is that there are very few senior football presenters around for them to choose from, and by senior I mean presenters who have been fronting football coverage for, say, ten years or more and who have been the established face of football on the channel they work for during that period.

In fact, the only football presenters currently on British TV who I would consider to fit into that category are Lineker, Chiles (although I think he only started fronting football when he went to ITV six or seven years ago), Stelling and Richardson.

Instead, you've got a lot of what I would describe as casual football presenters a la Dan Walker and Matt Smith who are perfectly capable of fronting football but always seem to be something of an understudy presence when they do so, which means they lack the gravitas you'd really want from the main presenter of Europe's premier cup competition.

I would love Jeff Stelling to host Bt's coverage but that wont happen as he is Sky through and through. You mustn't forget
Steve Rider
Jim Rosenthal
Manish Bhasin
Mark Chapman
Ray Stubbs
Even Richard Keys
They would all be quite capable of hosting

Oh?

Chiles (although I think he only started fronting football when he went to ITV six or seven years ago)
He fronted MOTD2 on the BBC before he went to ITV
