Thorizaar Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I can't be arsed getting into Champions blah blah blah, I'm only interested in the football. Out of 64 games played so far only 3 0-0 matches. I could trot out stats all day to counter your view, stick to your opinion, but I doubt you watch a lot of the matches. I'm only interested in football too, which is why the CL is of no interest. Its made for TV, advertisers and the demands of a small number of big clubs and has no sporting integrity, to coin a well used phrase of late.

Everything you mention is alive and kicking in every league, just on a smaller scale. Anyway, as I said, been over all this before, I enjoy the football on view, some of the best players in the world, outstanding play and goals that are as good as you'll see.

HAMMY #COYS Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I believe that the deal was in excess of 800 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I believe that the deal was in excess of 800 million I thought I seen £900m, and Sky had offered £400 so BT have raised the stakes and someone will have to pay in the long term. Nothings for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothings for nothing. I've a feeling this could turn out to be similar to the Setanta nonsense on a much larger scale and Sky, or some other company will pick up the pieces at a much reduced cost. I can only hope that people will get sick of paying stupid amounts to watch TV football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope that people will get sick of paying stupid amounts to watch TV football. BT have much deeper pockets so, while they have massively outbid Sky, I think they can handle it but I think, to recoup some of this, customers will be asked to pay. Whither they do remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
