So no illegal shit. But a dude willing to fuck people he manages.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Still, hopefully it tarnishes his career because it's shady as fuck.
In America he'd be arrested.
Hope it's still in, that sounds good.

Dani Alves has responded to Forlan." The last PSG free kick was scored by me. So shut the f*ck up and stop using my name for controversy. "
Forlan emasculated the dude. Nothing that little troll says after matters.
Did Costa play in CL with Chelsea this year? Him joining Atletico is gonna make them dangerous af this year.
Facebook and Amazon to "enter the mix" for the next Premier League TV rights?
It's being predicted: https://t.co/No0IGKUKRq

Costa hasn't even set foot in England since the FA Cup final.

Pull your finger out, Netflix!
Netflix have no chance.
As I've said before and as someone working in the industry, few are expecting it to happen for the UK market at least. 10.5mi ish a game right now and if they came in they'd be pushing the prices further toward 15m a game. Now, what Amazon and Facebook may very well do is get rights to show in other countries as that would be significantly cheaper.

Nah not a chance. ROI wouldn't be that high for Amazon.

As long as they don't keep hiring Mickey Owen and pundits like that.

I really want Netflix or Amazon to get PL rights in the UK more than anything. Sky and BT can do one. Facebook can also fuck off.

Jesus that's how much Sky and BT pay for a single game? How much must they be raking in?
Disgusting.
It is indeed.
The prices have spiralled since BT came in as before them nobody could really compete with sky. Skys issue is that without the PL viewership will plummet. They need it. BT by contrast are using it to sell Internet subs.
What do you think they will do to their subs if they get the rights at those prices? Keep Netflix sub £10 a month? It'll be separate addons.
Yeah both Amazon and Netflix will just hike up their prices. We, the consumers, wouldn't save anything.
Just get on an illegal stream plan
What's Facebook going to do, make it exclusive for oculus?
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Fb wouldn't get it, and if they did they'd obviously make some premium streaming network

Driving on the "wrong" side of the road is hard at the beginning!
Who would watch Arsenal without Ox?
I pay currently 10 euro per month for DAZN.com and I get PL, La Liga, Ligue 1 and serie A. So it's obviously possible somehow.
Never heard if it so can't comment. What country is it in?
You can get a pl thing in nz for cheap. Demand is low so the price has to be also. If Amazon or FB for pl rights for the UK, demand would be huge and so they'd charge accordingly. They'd have to anyway because of the cost to get the games.
Rights for other countries are a pittance by comparison.
I'm in Austria, but DAZN is available also in Germany, Switzerland and Canada. I think also Japan.

Why is Bundesliga not included in that shit?
If you talk about DAZN, it's because Sky has the lion's share from Bundesliga.

If he's fit, wouldn't be surprised to see him already having a bigger impact than Gameiro/Vietto right off the bat. Knows the system perfectly, & already played with most of the players in the team.
Can't wait to see him again in Spain & see how the Griezmann partnership flourishes in time.

Yeah, i'm so happy. Love this player, he is the PERFECT striker for our team.

Wow. River Plate lost the 1st leg in the Libertadores 3-0 and is currently winning 8-0 in the 67th minute of the 2nd leg.

It's 20$ CDN a month though.
The amount of "smoke" this match will bring it'll be hillarious.
Copa Libertadores is the best.

It will be an interesting title race between Monaco's and Leicesters feeder clubs.
I know it's not the Premier League, but don't sleep on watching the Sheffield derby on Sunday.
It's the first one for 5 years. The last time this fixture was played was in League One with United 5 points and 2 games in hand over us - second vs third in the league. We won that game 1-0 and went on to pip United to automatic promotion on the final day of the season. They have been stuck in League One ever since until now.
It's a fixture that's been out of the limelight for years due to both sides lack of Premier League football, but it's one of the hottest derbys in the country and it'll be some game.

Never forget.
In fairness Rafa didn't keep them up.
Have no clue why anybody would want Pearson as a manager though.
Great shout - the PL game on Sunday is likely to be dross anyway.

Well it's not like Pearson sucks as a manager. Don't forget how he helped them pull off their great escape from relegation by winning 7 from the past 9 games. He seems to give his team fighting spirit.
