Premier League 2025/26

Of all our rivals over the past 20 years, Spurs are by some margin at the bottom of my dislike list.

I’d be very happy for Frank to do well, he seems a good bloke and he clearly knows how to coach football.

Don’t really mind Spurs and villa doing relatively well.

Yeah. Spurs have a similar profile in managers to us, and Franks was reportedly on our shortlist, so it will be fun to see how well he does there.

The guy looks like someone who’s just comfortable playing in this league, at this level. Nothing flashy, he even looks too slow at times but somehow he always makes that tackle that his team needs to break up a dangerous passage of play.

Experience in playing the premier league counts. It’s a good shrewd signing for Tottenham. They get him for a year and then make a call at the end of whether to take up the option of buying him.

With midfielders around him who are quick , Palihnha can simply concentrate on breaking up the play. The other requirements for the modern DM aren’t necessarily visible.

It’s like getting Fabinho back but having two fast midfielders around him like Gini and prime Hendo.

That said, I’m still pissed off about watching that game where Deggsy got hooked after 20mins in a bar full of Spurs cunts.

They are a lot more likeable since Kane left

Only downside is Richarlson is a knob.

I suppose an Everton win would do very nicely if Fulham beat United.

Indeed, but he was the best knob Everton had ! :smiley: So good in fact, that they had to sell him to a presumably bigger and better team. I suppose now is the time one should be silent for a slight second and reflect on how unfair the world must be for an Everton supporter, but I haven’t had an ale yet, so not that merry as of yet :stuck_out_tongue:

Able to watch either of the 2pm games live on Sky, this is kinda cool. Still an absolute rip off mind.

Come on the Seagirls, pile on the misery on the Evergones.

I am not going to watch the games today, unfortunately as I have social plans at 1700. But I am the type of guy who ends up checking the live results and the table all the time :smiley:

Could watch first half of one of these games early, I suppose. Have time for that. But I don’t know if I have it in me to just watch the first half, of say, Everton’s game when there is other stuff I could do. If I am to watch only one half, usually prefer that to be the second.

How much do you pay, Now Tv kept giving me £15 deals

It comes as part of a “package deal” but it comes to about £28

In Norway it is sadly far more costly. A bit less than 70 pounds sterling a month.
There is a very good reason why many turn to free streams and illegal decoders.
But there are more people in the UK, so you get a less horrible price. Still very steep for you, but for 30 pounds I would probably pay for it as well.

But to watch Premier League in Norway, that is the price of 7 Netflix subscriptions. I just find it too steep personally and do not really want to support such a carousell since I don’t want 4 games a week anyway at the moment. If I watched every game or almost every game and was fanatical, it would be different, and I would fork out. But I have other hobbies too that costs money that I am at least equally fond of as football.

I see that the Brighton fans are also copying our Chiesa song.
As ever, we lead and the rest follow.

What is included in that £70 though? The broadcasting rights in the UK are split between Sky and TNT.

The £28 I pay only accounts for the 12 Sky Sports channels, I pay an additional £29 + £4 HD for 4 TNT sport channels (which tbf I can cancel anytime as part of my current contract).

Welbeck :smirking_face:

Do you get Champions League included with that ?

Premier League, Europa League, Conferance League and some La Liga. You can watch direct, or recorded.
But sadly, you cannot choose and pick so much. It’s a fucking package deal.
