Champions League Football

[Thorizaar]

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.

FFS what league isn't?

Reality check mate I'm afraid.

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.

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.

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.

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.
