Apologies - I have an admission. I had time to kill this evening and whilst waiting in the car, around 7.30 ish, I was flicking between a particularly boring interview on 5 live with Stuart Broad, and on Talk Sport, it was some cretin interviewing another whiney voiced ****, whom I soon identified as the no-mark supreme that is Alan Pardew.

Pardew was talking about last night's game v Brazil, and the cretin started talking about great Brazil teams of yesteryear. Now Pardew is 62/3 this year - saying he was was born in 1961 - so he's seen nearly all the same Brazillian footballers I have - me being 66. Pardew piped up, after a commercial break, that he'd put together his best Brazillian 11 of all time - bearing in mind he included Garincha, we're going back to the very early 60's/late 50's.

I'm boring you with this because Pardew gave his 11. Notable was that he decided that Tafarel was his best goalie - no mention of Allison, or Ederson - to my memory, Tafarel was nothing special. But, over and above that, there's probably 1 Brazillian player that everyone in the world would have in their best 11 Brazilian team of all time - can you guess who he omitted?

The no-mark failure of a manager; shite player - hated equally by Hammers, Newcastle and almost every other bunch of supporters - the man who, as a manager, actually did a pathetic dance on the Wembley touchline after his team scored an early goal, before going down in flames. The absolute smuggest **** of a **** manager chose his best Brazilian 11 and didn't choose - no I can't quite believe it either - only THIS fuckin' **** of a **** could be so fuckin' thick......

He left out Pele.

Maybe he's that much of a contrary **** he didn't rate him? Any all time 11 without Pele in it needs to be disregarded off hand IMHO.

You saying he left out (as our own, our very own 'Genial' Joe Mercer used to say when opining on the BBC during the 1966 World Cup) 'Pee-Lee'..?! Well, I'll go t't foot of our stairs!! As the French might put it, 'Quel plonkeur'..

Mind, this is the same useless twunt who abused the charming, urbane and much more successful than he, Manuel Pellegrini, when Pellegrini's City spanked his team up at St James's on the way to winning the title..

I expect it will be licensed by the broadcaster to the watchalong entity, directly or indirectly. It will probably work like the PRS/PPL fee in nightclubs with the fee being linked to numbers attending, or in this case, watching. Sky’s fees are based on the rateable value of the pub but this definitely won’t apply here because most of these businesses are operated from home and this model is much easier to evaluate and monitor the numbers - and will doubtless be expressly provided for in the written contract between the parties.

Sports broadcasters have proven very adept at monetising their products and it’s inconceivable they won’t have been alive to this (absurd) development in the game a long time ago and sought to exploit it.

Given the potential criminal sanctions involved (maximum sentence under section 92 of the Trade Mark Act 1994 is ten years imprisonment) di Cesare would be nuts to not stream through the authorised channels, given how high profile he is, especially as he operates his business through a limited company. I suspect some of the other actors in the field carry on their businesses via a much less formal corporate structure and so will operate much more in the grey zone, but dI Cesare is too high profile and has too much to lose - especially as any conviction would be followed by proceeds of crime proceedings.

I see this as Barca getting him to do this so we lower the price to get him out the door.
Pity Cancello didn't explain why Bayern didn't want to sign him.

Well it’s a defence under section 92(5) that you didn’t reasonably believe it was a trade mark infringement, but I’m struggling to accept someone who produces accounts like that, who is so high profile, who’s ex Old Bill and whose wife appears to be a public sector solicitor would take that level of risk without getting the express nod to do that from Sky and/or BT for the 3pm Saturday fixtures. He’s got too much to lose to take a flier imo, especially with the spectre of proceeds of crime proceedings upon the assets he’s built up through this business. Unless they give him a special package that includes those fixtures maybe? Which is along the lines of what I suggested.

There’s got to be something as his whole business model is predicated on access to those games and I think he has thought this whole thing through very carefully and will almost certainly be pretty risk averse in the way he conducts his business affairs. I’m also certain he will have had formal legal advice about how to operate his business lawfully. This is clearly a hugely lucrative operation and he’d be reckless not to protect it.

I am assuming he covers the Saturday 3pm fixtures ‘live’ btw? If not, then this debate is moot I guess!

Most of the other actors in the field I don’t have a problem accepting that’s how they operate btw. In fact I’d be amazed if they didn’t, but he strikes me as discernibly different for the reasons outlined above and because of the scale of his operation.

As his whole business is reliant upon live viewing & lesser known fan channels have been warned about filming inside stadiums then it does make you consider what the relationship is. Is his content or narrative controlled, it certainly seems influenced.

In the light of that I had to laugh at Sean Custis and Henry Winter waxing lyrical about Kobbie Mainoo on Talkshite this morning. Apparently it was fantastic the way he slowed the game down and distributed the ball. Now Mainoo may, indeed, be "one for the future", like everyone else I haven't seen enough to judge, but last night he came on at 0-0 and slowed an already comatose game down even further and continued to do so even after we went 1-0 down. Every pass he did make, accurately I'll concede, went 5 yards sideways or backwards. I saw nothing that couldn't have been done better by any number of midfield players.

His plan seems to be to call himself an expert, issue an anti city statement once or twice a week and collect the receipts from the pond life reading it .
I'd be surprised if he has any actual clients or advice he could offer them.
