Ian Darke covering Club Brugge v Leicester for BT in the Champion's League on Weds night.

Be interesting what Sky do with the return of the Old Firm game. Previously this was always a game that Provan got which always thought bit harsh on Andy Walker after he covered all the rest of the season games. Bit fair to say since then Provan has moved up the ranks so will he get a PL game that weekend or go up to Glasgow?

So following on from that i wonder if Darren Fletcher will do Arsenal and then back for Tottenham on Weds with Peter Drury covering Man City with Ian Darke possibly covering Man Utd on Thurs as its a short trip from Brugge to Antwerp in the Europa League?

I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I express my relief that you've finally got around to telling us what your plans are. It's been keeping me awake I don't need to tell you.

Will you be having snacks, beverages etc?

Although I doubt it, will you be having mates around?

Baited breath...

I'd prefer Provan in the booth but Walker did the Old Firm Cup Semi Final last season. No reason why Provan may not appear in the studio. Go all old school get Charlie Nicholas back too!

Another attack.

You and others must be big fans of TV3's commentary. Its commentary is like BT Sport's Eng Premier League commentary

My guess would be Fletcher on PSG-Arsenal, Drury on City-Gladbach, Darke is confirmed for Brugge-Leicester so I think it might be Mowbray on Spurs-Monaco (rather than give Drury both legs that are played in England, as BT often did with Darke and Fletcher at this time last year).

I'd expect Fletcher then to do United's match in the Europa League as he is, after all, the voice of BT and that is the stand out match on Thursday. This might mean Darke is on Everton-Middlesbrough on Saturday, leaving Fletcher on the Sunday game of Watford-Man United.

On Celtic-Man City, I'm pretty sure Fletcher will take this game but I'd be more intrigued to see the commentary setup. I have a strong feeling it will be a 3 man commentary with Sutton and either Hargreaves or McManaman. It would be a very BT thing to do to make sure they had the Scottish angle also covered. I think Sutton has done 3 man commentary before in Scotland.

This is must be a long time since George Gavin was doing EFL games.

Would be rather surprised if Fletcher didnt get 2 games in the Champion's League on the first week, Derek Rae may well get Celtic Man City with Fletcher getting the return at home.

This should also be the time when Owen gets a return to the commentary box with im afraid Hargreaves as well being used in loads of games.

I'm not sure he will be. I think he'll be a pundit on a number of games but as for commentaries, I think Hargreaves and McManaman will share the big games. Robbie Savage will probably be a pundit on all the Leicester matches and perhaps commentating on many of the 2nd choice matches on the other day. BT also like Mr Francis unfortunately, and he'll probably pick up a few of the left over scraps, perhaps with the odd Danny Mills and Martin Keown commentary thrown in there.

Somewhere in my mind, Robbie has already said he's on Leicester CL games (unsure of which role)

True. They will have an ex-Rangers in there too. Just was plucking out names who have previously been involved.
