Football 2020/2021

Did you hear Danny Murphy’s comment to Jim White on Talksport the other day? Dear me 😂

 

The comment is right at the end but probably worth listening from 3 minutes onwards for context.

Edinson Cavani is such a typical United deadline day move.

Somebody buy Nortei Nortey for Christs sake.

Spent the entire transfer window chasing a winger who they could not afford. Then on tranfer deadline day, buy a 30 odd year old striker who has been available for free, from the very start of the transfer window.

All this, in spite the fact that it is the defence and midfield which has been floundering.

Have to say that Paul Pogba is the most over rated footballer ever to play in the premier league. He cost a world record fee. Truly abysmal signing.

All spot on.

Ozil is such a great guy.

Those anthems might be the bleakest thing I've seen this year

Man City chief executive calling for premiership B teams in the football league. Maybe he forgets city were in league 1 about 20 year ago.

[Hugh Jass]

Good night for fans of penalty shootouts.

[Hugh Jass]

Watching three shootouts at once is exhausting!

Amazingly through switching managed to catch most of them. From watching Ireland in recent years not sure they are a huge miss. Hope Scotland get through, think being underdogs may suit them.

I’m hoping to see Scotland get through, especially I have tickets for them v England.

nice to see Arsenal get some value from Ozil.

5 prem fixtures to be shown on PPV at £14.99 on each match day. Seems a bit steep on top of existing subscriptions!!

[Hugh Jass]

15 quid to watch West Brom v Burnley kicking off at 5.30 on a Monday evening???

Fuck that right off!

This is how it starts, this is where the big teams make their push to be allowed to negotiate their own TV deals.

The premiership teams are taking advantage of Covid. They will not want to change when people are allowed back in stadiums.

Sickening. No other word for it. The sheer disdain for fans is disgusting.

and how did that turn out? this isn’t going to get any traction but it’s still absurd that they’re trying it. £15 to watch a game of football. it’s laughable. never going to happen as much as they may want it to. they couldn’t get people to pay for it in more prime slots. 

[squirrelarmy]

I wouldn’t mind paying it if it went directly to the club. I was quite happy paying for LUTV for the games when we were in the championship. I actually miss not being able to watch coverage through them. 
 

Our club owners media company owns the rights to showing the Premier League in Taiwan. I’d much rather pay for a VPN and a subscription to Eleven Sports than lining the pockets of the BT Sports etc board of directors.  

[kaosmark2]

Premier league clubs don't need more money, the EFL does. And if it goes directly to the club it'll just increase inequality. Look at Real and Barca being able to negotiate separate tv deals.

Yup. Hope no one buys it and its a massive failure. At the very least it should be free for season ticket holders.

[zahidf]

Ha!
