Other Football - 2018/19 Season

[sir roger 2,372]

Reading that a new cable channel has taken the rights to La Liga off Sky , and taken Serie A off BT Sport.

 

Bit pissed off that the only foreign leagues I watch anything of are disappearing & can't imagine any reduction in the package fees to compensate.

 

No idea who the new people are ( 11 - I think they are called )

[Lee909 8,381]

The station is owned by the dodgy Italian fucker that owns Leeds.

 

On the other hand fuck sky

[sir roger 2,372]

Didn't know he was involved, Clarence.

As long as it doesn't affect my £6.50/month sports package, I'm happy sky are getting bummed.

[sir roger 2,372]

Who is your package with ROTOQ , one of these streaming sites  ?

Yeah read that yesterday. I do not watch the Spanish league as I find it boring but I am hacked off BT lost Serie A because I watch that a lot. There is talk this 11 company may lay off both leagues live games to Sky and BT for a wedge. If BT do not show Serie A or want more money on top of their recent increase I will be binning BT Sports off when it comes up for renewal even if it is the only place to watch Champions League this season.

[sir roger 2,372]

Thinking the same DS , probably work out cheaper just going the pub to see the BT Liverpool games, although I do watch some boxing on BT too.

Kind of. It's an IPTV package. 4 or 5 months in. Just perfect pictures all the time. FabIPTV

[ROTOQ 3,858]

You can get the works (all channels) for £9.50/month. I only really watch footie live, and everything else in demand.

I’m intrigued by City’s attacking line up. I know they’ll rotate them.... but say CL final against us in Madrid.. How do you pick three from Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, and now Mahrez? Madness.

Do you have to have a smart TV for that?

Plus the two Silvas.

[Chip Butty 1,618]

Adele and HiHo? 

[3 Stacks 1,063]

With Sarri Chelsea will actually be watchable for the first time since they had Ancelotti. Really don't like that he's gone there. Hopefully Hazard and Kante are going. 

[Grinch 2,141]

Nope. Paying for sky these days has become as daft as paying for Netflix.

 

There’s options out there that offer you everything for next to nothing.

Seems sensible rather than mad to me. Get a couple of injuries or suspensions and you can still field a full strength team.

[Dr Nowt 16,855]

Thought the uppity little bald fellow didn’t like Aguero?

[El Rojo 5,869]

When is Guardiola buying Maguire for £85m to complete his three lions at the back?

[Strontium Dog 5,264]

He's going to Man U for £50m, last I heard.

What about when they’re all fit?

[Jairzinho 18,625]

Sane and Aguero plus one other.

[Strontium Dog 5,264]

What about it?

[aRdja 1,721]

What about it?

Who would you start.. all world class players who’d start for any other team obvs

[Grinch 2,141]

Normal big clubs have useful footballers on the bench. Easy to see why we’d wonder otherwise tbf.

[an tha 4,145]

If we were to mount a decent assualt on all 4 comps next season we could be looking at close to 70 games - to manage that kind of workload and be able to field teams where we don't turn to shite as soon as you take a couple of players out we need a deep squad with quality.

 

Not to mention how much genuine competition for places can really help push players to improve their level.

 

We saw last season how we were down to absolute bare bones at end of season as games game thick and fast in midfield and how in the biggest game in football ended up bringing on a slow midfielder who had been injured most of the season to replace our leading scorer.
