May sound like a strange question but as an obsessive Arsenal supporter is there anywhere one can watch live football on the island , unlikely I know !!

I know that they show UK football on TV in the Cascreole Bar in Castara.

They have certainly shown the European matches and I recall that Man Utd are favoured over Arsenal ... only because they are more famous and Dwight Yorke (from Tobago) used to play for them.

Mike,if it is a BIG game it will probably be shown at the BAR CODE SPORT BAR alongside the Marina in Scarbourough.It may well be a recording depending on the time.They showed the Rugby World Cup fimal by flying a tape in from Martinique on the same day!!Also if you are able to get satellite the American channel EPSN shows an awful lot of European sport and Fox features some of the more important games that may interest Central and South America.Regard David(47 days to go!)

The Hummingbird in Crown Point may be an option. It is run by an english gentleman. I don't know for definite about the soccer but I know he always shows the cricket.

The run is over so missing the odd game won't be so bad now

I can say that, my team remains 73 league matches unbeaten (the record is 75 and is in our sights!).

I'll be missing an away game in December by fluke of the calendar, which means my "not missed a home match for 18 years" rolls on!).

You do realise Marc that having told us that, 'Sods Law' suggests you will lose your next game!!!!

What is your team again, I know it has Wimbledon in the name... doesn't it?? I will look out for you on MOTD!!

If we beat it we'll be on Football Focus, so even if you was winding me up, we will be on national TV

Of course, I have awoken the football gods now as you correctly point out!
