How much football do you watch?

I watch the lot.

Amount that I pay for TNT and Sky, sort of have to

Maybe even the occasional French or Italian league game if I'm especially hungover on a Sunday

Would like to watch more La Liga but impossible to get hold of really

I need a life

Don't even watch every Everton game any more.
Watch when I can be arsed, which isn't that often.
The pandering to the Scab6 is beyond a joke now, it's a closed shop where proper competition died years ago.

Reckon you would if we were good?

I got proper obsessed that Carlo season when we had Jameth, Richy, Digne and a firing Dom
 
On the subject of being a Luddite, I got my old Dad a HP laptop for Xmas, just so he can have a look at the world.
In the last few weeks I've opened him an account with BetFred and on ITV7 just so he has something to look at during the day, then I taught him how to navigate round the sites.
I put him a fiver in on his BF account and when I went round this afternoon, he'd picked himself a 5/2 and 6/1 winner at Yarmouth yesterday.
And in the recycling bucket by the back door were 2 empty bottles of Birra Italiano from the LIDL.
His account is now up to 8 quid odd.
I fear I may have created a monster.
 
I get far too wound up watching Everton, every misdirected pass results in swearing so tend to avoid the 90 minutes and watch highlights. I do watch a lot of Championship games and the odd Premiership game if it appeals. Never ever watch European or International football as it bores me to tears. Will tend to switch off if I see too much diving and rolling around as I detest cheating.
 
Used to basically watch it all for a period of about 18 years. Barely watch any now bar the odd Everton match. Don't even watch Ireland play anymore and gave the last World Cup a miss for the first time in my entire life
 

I watch only Everton but get the highlights of other prem games the next day ,I never watch them or their highlights and never go on other teams pages in the news ,just the Blues for me .

Oh aye, only Copa Del Rey though I think?

Watched a bit when that was on.

Spanish football is a good watch when the big teams are on but I find the rest quite uninspiring

French football is underrated imo, lots of exciting young players come through in the smaller teams every year
 
Nobody else in my house likes football so I watch Everton by appointment and the odd 20 minutes of other matches.

Back in my single days Sundays were glorious. Wake up with a hangover watch Goals on Sunday, then the two super Sunday matches and maybe la liga. Those days are long gone.
 

Very little except Everton and internationals where there’s an Everton representative (bar England if it only Pickford playing), which I’ll only tend to watch if it’s a major competition
 
I literally only watch us.

I used to watch a fair bit of footy, but there were different styles to watch, and loads of genius players.

Now it’s just every team trying the death by a 1000 passes. No team has any player that would get you off your seat so to speak.

Plus I think it’s over saturated now. There’s a premier league/european game on pretty much every day once the season starts.
 
I attend our home matches as a season ticket holder and try to watch as many away games as possible, when televised. However, outside of our matches, I only tend to watch snippets of other games if I can be bothered. Part of the reason is that I dislike a lot of the teams in the Premier League, even some which you would not expect.

Outside of the Premier League, I enjoy watching the occasional Championship game and I often watch the EFL highlights show, which has less punditry than Match of the Day and similar shows. International football is not the best but I do find myself watching plenty of tournament matches since those matches represent an opportunity to talent spot. Just to give one example - thinking back to the last Euros, I took to watching Georgia play with their attacking style.

The last non-Everton match which I watched in its entirety was the Champions League final. I sometimes ask myself who has the time to watch every single Premier League match? Overall, I can say that I always make time to watch our matches but not for other matches.

I'm with you on that. Pretty much my modus operandi. That said, I am also a bit of a football history nerd, so spend a lot of time collecting classic matches from the past (World Cups, Euros) that are AI upscaled and sticking them on usb sticks.

I'll enjoy the World Cup next year - or rather, I'll moan that it is not as good as it used to be 40 years ago - but other than that, I don't watch even Everton in full anymore. We've been so bad for so long that you don't need to actually watch an Everton game to provide accurate insight and analysis on our lads on here afterwards.
