    The PPV thing is pretty lol, but it bringing back Saturday 3pm kick-offs is an undoubted boon. Nobody in their right mind wants to watch most of the games anyway.

    I saw the headline and thought 'nice, can not bother with dodgy streams' but £15? Did I read that correctly? Fucking hell

    I very rarely struggle to find a stream that's 1080p and completely lag free. Maybe have to refresh a couple of times a game.

    I'm struggling to decide how big a game United or England would need to be in before I'd even consider spending £15 to watch it.

    Not one either are going to be in any time soon, certainly.

    We're pretty much in Southend United in the Champions League Final territory for me.

    Any game you'd be willing to spend that on watching you'd just go out somewhere to see anyway, wouldn't you?

    Is it £15 per game then, or is that for access to the PPV channel(s)? A latter day Premier League Plus or whatever it was called.

    Most of the pubs near me are tips so that isn't necessarily a more appealing option.

    It might be shite but I’ll stick to €55 for every game for a season.

    Also, it costs 8 quid for a pint over here and we pay 3 pound a game for our PPV's not 15.
    Well United haven't charged anyone for STs yet this year but I guess those that have, should.

    Is the PPV money then pooled or is it going to be allocated on a per team basis? Goodbye collective bargaining if it's the latter.

    If my team was in the throat of a title chase or something I'd consider paying £10 for a big game on pay per view (once, not every week), but fifteen somehow psychologically goes over the edge into 'fuck right off'.

    To put it in perspective, a Sky Sports subscription is 30 quid a month with significantly more than 2 games.

    Just got the pub, have four pints and a laugh and save a few quid on top. Outrageous pricing. Would never pay it.

    And considering they have been hand-picked for TV, they should be better or atleast 'bigger' games.

    Who the fuck is paying £15 for Fulham vs West Brom?

    Quite soon if someone doesn't figure out a way for the world to live with covid.

    In fact, how do the tv picks work? It's probably within the broadcast rights holder's power to set that up now.

    Does any of the PPV money go back to the clubs? They must be haemorrhaging money on gate receipts.

    The only hope is for there to be some absolutely stinking PPV buys. I'm looking at Sheff Utd v Fulham to pull in sub 100.

    Would be the top 6 sorted from here on then, which is mainly what this is. These clubs don’t come up with plans like this for anyone else’s benefit.

    What is the 'special status'? It can't be that special if it applies to West Ham and Everton.

    Means if 6 of the 9 vote for something then it’s passed from what I’ve read.

    Liverpool and Man U with the American owners always desperate for the WWE reforms.

    They’re painting it as being the saviours of the game in England too. Small enough bit of cash for the power they’re buying.

    The most interesting game about this Ireland Wales game is that I can’t unsee Tom Kerridge every time Danny Gabbidon talks.

    I'd love to join the hipsters at pissing and moaning about it but what exactly are the 6 going to vote for? A £10 release clause on Jack Grealish? Shut the fuck up and swallow that Glazer dick, it's a great scheme.

    Not really surprised you like it considering you don't really understand football beyond stats and xG. Money grabbing and an obvious attempt at fucking the game even more.

    Woah woah woah, don't make it personal mate, all I'm saying is those changes are positives that need to happen and that you're a dirty fucking emotional cunt and I'll slit your throat if you ever question my understanding of the sport. I read Fever Pitch, mate, we're basically brothers.

    Also, what the fuck does Pickford have to do to get dropped? This is the perfect time to bring in a new number 1 - rather than waiting for the actual Euros.

    I don't think there's a lot between the three keepers. I'd have Henderson but there's not a lot in it and Pickford was a key man in the semi-final run in 2018.

    He was shit in the World Cup as well, if that's what makes him a key man.

    That said, I'm not convinced the other two are actually all that much better. Henderson probably is the best, but he's no longer playing for his club which is a bit of a problem.

    What the fuck is this line-up with Alexander-Arnold, Trippier and Walker? Is Trippier being bunted out to left wingback? Not convinced you get the best out of Alexander-Arnold in such a system either.

    Walker occasionally plays at Centre Back for City doesn't he?
