Don't take her.

Always works for me

I like a dinner every day and a bit of a cuddle twice a week though

 

[COYBL25]

At least Kev will be able to afford it...

The way Kev is going he'll be able to buy the club lol

Really mate? I'm assuming this is tongue in cheek.

Evil, Evil sky dictating poor innocent families into divorce, separation and worse due to football. How dare they.

It's not compulsory mate. Neither is watching Xfactor, Strictly and the like. a Hobby? You mean like Singing and Dancing...

lol

No, fella, no tongue in cheek. Just envisioning the arguments up and down the country as the ladies (generalising here) want to watch a talentless freak show that somehow has elbowed its way into prime time, while the fellas (again, generalising) are kicked out to the shed to get their fill of a team they probably don't support, that is manned by hired hands who only give a damn about their club because of their pay cheques, or their own vanity.

Nice idealistic but totally unrealistic

Unrealistic, only because the masses allow it, by constantly shovelling their hard earned cash into the greedy claws of big business.

Honestly, just imagine what would happen if everybody just stopped paying sky or bt. Just think about that.

Was that itv highlights show on Saturday evening a total disaster
Good chance of over saturation with live footy imo

Have to disagree.

It’s only a matter of time before the premier league get their own way, and every game is played live on TV.

Gone will be the days of 3pm KO, but the clubs will be taking in so much, they wot. Care f the ground is 75% full, because they’ll have the haulage on it.

Don’t think there ever will be a loss of “lust” for football on tv, but for me 7:45 on a Saturday is a pain in the backside. Bang in the middle of your weekend and if you’re gonna have plans, then they’re gonna have to be halted.

The problem with 200 live games, is that there won’t be 200 quality matches and, this is where I agree, if something like Burnley Vs. brighton is televised, the reality is who will watch it?

Imagine the viewing figures if BBC or ITV took PL rights....

Will never, ever, ever happen like.

They just can't compete financially sadly

Welcome to 2013 America frandels.

 

[TheBigIguana]

From an American perspective this is good as it will keep more games off of NBC's pay to watch service

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

This will probably mean I'll end up going to less matches

3pm on a Saturday is such a convenient time for all sorts of reasons

The match going fan has suffered another betrayal

 

[KaiserEFC]

I can watch every NFL game whenever I want on whatever I want for something like £120 for the year.

We are taken for mugs, we really are.

 

[roydo]

Only arsed about 38 PL games me.

The money keeps on rolling in. Of course they are dripping feeding extra games to the TV companies until all games are on TV. Then there will be a push for more games (bigger Premier League ?). Eventually Netflix/ Amazon will blow Sky/BT out the window.

I'm not to sure Saturday night football is a good thing. It would be a pain for many of us so you would think viewing figures would be impacted.

As a southern Toffee who struggles to get unobstructed seats I would love every Everton game to be on TV.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Man City, Man Utd vs other 14 teams = 28x6 = 168
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Man City, Man Utd in head to head matches = 30
Token relegation deciders not involving above 6 teams on final day = 2
Total games = 200

 

[jaybx1878]

I'll stick with my illegal streams and just select any game that I want to watch like I do currently.
