Some excellent posts on here and it seems my assessment is shared by a few of you. The weekend just passed, again was utter shite to watch.
there was a time when motd was a must watch, but even the 'highlights' are shit. The lack of atmosphere present in nearly every game ,is an indictation that nobody is getting excited at the games.
The money sky are asking reminds me of poncy bars who overcharge in the belief they are better, when in fact they're shit.
Sky have the four old firm games and if this wasn't the case, then I would chuck it today. I live in a rural area and although beautiful the broadband is terrible so streaming isn't always great to watch them that way.
I can't wait for BT to take over, as I already have that and won't need to pay more for a league that is slowly killing my love of the game. The English game I'm talking about here.
Maybe the EP should invite Celtic and Rangers. At least we would fucking take people on and with the money available would not be happy to hang in there as 14 teams do.
Something needs to be done. If that doesn't happen sky should allow you to buy the football you want and stop us subsidising a league that no **** wants to watch, never mind pay nearly £30 for.
As I said before, City get a pass for playing, or trying to play great stuff, but seriously who else is doing that?
If the clubs had no money then fine, but they do and there is no excuse for their utter lack of balls.
Look at a game that in the past everyone outside England would all love to see, Liverpool v Man U. The last game was so bad, so boring, that I chucked it before the end as it was a snore fest.
When they two teams are shit to watch, you know something is far wrong. As for the West broms v the Stokes type, I wouldn't watch those type of games if sky paid me a tenner to endure them.
Endure is the best way to describe the majority of games. That can't be right. The pricks who present the sky games try to talk them up, in doing so they insult every football fan who knows they are talking shit for a fee.
Even motd which edits most if the dull Pish out us left with mediocre entertainment and revolves around praising teams for being hard to beat.
That sums up the depths the EP has plummeted to. It's actually an event when you get a game you aren't compelled to turn off after 20 minutes.
Sad and sorry state of affairs.
