They only have the shit Premier League games? I thought they had the majority of them?

They have most of the good Premier League games, but increasingly BT were nabbing more and more from them, but the bigger problem was no European football/having to also subscribe to BT to get it. That was enough of a ballache, but as soon as Amazon entered the game I just thought sod that.
Competition between businesses and dissolving a monopoly sounds like a good idea in practice, but only actually works in reality when there's a near infinite supply of the product - when you only have x number of games a season and they get spread around, the customer just gets screwed.
Yeah, you'd need them all having access to all of the games and then competing on price.
I need Sky for cricket, golf and F1, so European football just has to take the hit.
The problem is that true competition would drive the price of both/any services down, but in reality it's a cartel because rights are always awarded exclusively.
You mean the Premier League? The FA have fuck all to do with it (expect England and FA Cup games).
Some Premier League are being streamed on Facebook for us this season
I'm assuming for free...….
I like the live games on a Sunday afternoon so it's Sky for me. I can't get BT anyway but from the times games are on, I wouldn't get it regardless.
Sky have the 3pm Saturday kickoff slot too.
Do you not hear about players and managers up before the FA, etc? How can they do that then?
Big mark down for the Beeb not being able to find anyone less awful than Martin Keown.
This is my first day back watching BBC, it's still as banal as ever.
Going through this made my head spin. It really is getting to be some spread now and I'd say that equally goes for the UK too.
