Fúcking Amazon now...
Who was it that said Sky needed competition to keep the punters in the best position?
3 subscriptions now needed instead of 1.

Again :shrug: Do you think people should just get all this **** free? Plus that's what the pub is for - I can pretty much watch any Arsenal game now without giving any money to TV channels, just landlords. That's dedication, iQuote:

Still, someone has to pay for Bellerin's wardrobe.
And, wd the pub, btw
Fair points all round. Mind you - even when I had Sky I couldn't watch Arsenal games at home as it upset the neighboursQuote:

People with season tickets for their club should get reduced subscriptions imo. Without any fans the TV companies have less of a product, and with actually attending games and travelling and drinking in the pub all day etc they won't be at home as much to watch what they've paid for.Quote:

So effectively, I can watch every televised game, the cricket, etc, etc quite legally without directly paying for any of it. I think that would p1ss me off if I were paying full whack for the TV package. :shrug:Quote:

Setanta, ESPN and BT - all terrible.Quote:

Made my wife's Prime subscription even better value, imoQuote:
