Sky rips us off again

As if we don't pay enough for sport Sky want even more money off us now by putting football on Sky Box Office channel and charging extra for it.

Sky has not ripped anyone off.

They have a product, you want the product, you pay the price.

Just because it is your team you don't have the automatic right to watch it as part of your package. City were on yesterday and I watched it as part of my package. Next week it could be me paying extra and you watching as part of your package.

That's just the way it is.

If you don't want the product don't pay, simple.

Just glanced at my DAZN schedule and there are at least sixteen football games on today plus snooker and at least fourteen American Football games. All for £90 a year. Plus all Europe’s Cup games next week.

0 Years I watched City game last night but Newcastle v that lot were on Box office and you had to pay extra for that one Liverpool v Sheff Utd is on next saturday night but I wont pay extra for it as i pay for all the other channels.

Plenty fans thinking the same way

I see peterg, I only watched our game yetserday and assumed that it was your earlier game you were talking about and that it was on ppv.

Ordinarily, Liverpool vs Sheffield would probably not be on t.v. as although Liverpool are a big draw, it might not be the match of the day.

All games are televised every week but not all of them are broadcast in this country. Normally you wouldn't have had chance to see next week's game but the t.v. company has made it available to you albeit at an additional cost. I can't see how that is a bad thing. However, I respect your decision not to pay and not watch the game.

As for trafford, the reason they were on ppv is obviously that they are no longer a big draw.

broady, stop making us jealous!

Oyears.
Who gets the largest viewing figures in the P L for a live home game .Or ANY game in which they are involved .
Utd or the Berties .?

Oh, get over yourself Grim.

T.V. audience League table now is it?

Do you get a trophy for that?

I was stating the obvious, but, whilst we are being petty....

.........who has won more trophies in the last 10 years, City or the rags?

Na, na, na, na, na, nah.

(Comment removed because it broke the rules)

I'll leave that to you

Errr.....good retort.

More your scene.

Meaning?

OK FF, we'll draw a line under that.

SKY always stirs up conflicting opinions. Fortunately I am in a position to pay for the service but if I were not I would possibly feel equal vitriol toward them that others do.

It has always been the same though, these that pontificate that the game has been taken away from them due to PPV and that it was better in the "good old days" are talking nonsense.

It is the same today as it was in the "good old days" before all games were televised, if you wanted to see a game then, you got off your arse and went to a game and paid your money to support your club, none of this going to the pub rubbish.

Now, instead of going to the game you pay your £14.95 and watch it.

Bargain!

anyone who thinks paying £14-95 is " good value" deserves all they get . if that,s not a rip-off then i dont know what is & bt are doing the same & for the champions league too . potentialy a £44-85 rise ? .

Go away whups you are boring me.

If you are skint it is your problem.

i will bore you if i ever meet up with you . your a disgraceful man who knows he,s wrong in what he,s doing but to proud to admit it . you met fireplace & yet back this filth up .

Oooh, is that a threat whups? I'm sure it is against site rules.

Don't make an enemy of me.

Glad to see I have hit a financial nerve.

BTW, your grammar and punctuation are atrocious.

Yes whups, I met Fireplace and he was a throroughly nice bloke, as I'm sure you are. We all are in real life, but this isn't real life.

Don't take this banter too seriously whups, I'm not the persona I portray on here as I'm sure you aren't.

If we did meet I'm certain we would get along. I'm adept at winding up, just as you, Grim, LG, FF and TC etc are.

It's just a bit of fun don't you know? Grim has it sussed.

If you are skint it is your problem.

Don't make an enemy of me.

Glad to see I have hit a financial nerve.

Cyndi Lauper

i will take it personaly when a guy puts on that he wants to give my freind a " good kicking " & dance on his grave after he dies knowing full well he had stage 4 cancer . and you back this filth up & it seems that were not all thoughouly nice men as your mate laughing boy portrays are we ? .

0 years, if it's just banter and a bit of fun, why put chatty on ignore, if that's not proof you can give it but not take it I don't know what is, just because chatty gets the best of you in banter and fun don't need take your ball home, again.

your absolutely right tiger cat .

Well, well, well,

That's a "well" for each of the cackling witches dancing around the pot this afternoon. The question is however, which witch is which?

To witch 1) As chief witch in charge of pot stirring duties, I assume your post has been less than complimentary.....but that's your forte.

To witch 2) Stop being so precious, I would suggest that you were being pompous only you wouldn't know how to spell it. If FP was such a good friend of yours stop using him in your (non) argument with LG, it's so distasteful.

To witch 3) Just remind me, who are you again?

Having completely blanked your question does that mean you're on "ignore" as well lads?

"If we did meet I'm certain we would get along. I'm adept at winding up, just as you, Grim, LG, FF and TC etc are."
Not like you to be wron...Oh!
You are wrong

Nonsense FF, I would make the effort to get along with him.

Sorry if the thought of that winds you up.

i,m not using it but if he were here today i,m quite sure he would be shouting me on .the spelling i got from you schoolteacher . you hav,nt got much support on here apart from your mate who you extol his virtues .you hav,nt mentioned the proof broady has put on the other blog have you .

The reason I haven't much support on here is that this two bit sports section is only used by a few blinkered bitter rags, a couple of sensible rags, an intermittent Wolves fan, the odd Latics fan, a poster who is a Liverpool fan and a poster who isn't a Liverpool fan. So it's hardly surprising is it Einstein?!

Having said that, I don't need support or back up in wrapping you lot in knots, it's so easy.

P.S. I wasn't aware that Broady had a blog.

0 YEARS shouldn't your name now be 1 year

Good Lord don't start asking difficult questions or the bloke who "doesn't need support or back up in wrapping people in knots" will put you on 'ignore'

peterg

No, we did win a trophy last season.

Strange reply that peter.
He once told me his username had nothing to do with how long City had gone without winning a bean
He was painting himself into a corner with the answers he was giving at the time though

Again, it appears my comment went over your round head.
You can't wind me up.

"The reason I haven't much support on here is that city are a minority club".
I met a lad called Eddie Manc once, he was a city fan. His younger brother was a city fan because his older brother was. He wasn't the brighteest of sparks

No!!!! Really!! but but but...is that really what you meant? I would never have known.

Well I never, you live and learn.

Good grief FF you are so gullible. Don't you recognise irony when you see it? You walked right into that one. Like I said, wrapping in knots

Did a local primary school design these shirts United are wearing. Pogba on bench. McTominay and Fred midfield and the young guy in the back three. ( Tuanzabe)

Good win.Well done.

well done the lads & well done to newcastle & burnley fans who stuck 2 fingers up to sky & bt by not paying the £15 & donating it to the food banks.

Well doen the Toon fans for raising money for foodbanks.

United play a lot better using that system, especially with bruno pulling the strings,martial not firing and not consistant enough for my liking, I still think pogba not happy because bruno getting all the praise.

Must admit i am not pogbas biggest fan but when he came on and played further forward leaving fred and scotty to do the leg work we looked v threatening at times .
O G S got his tactics spot on last night .
Telles impressed .

I expected more from their front three TBH.

Common sense has prevailed and the Premier League are about to announce they are scrapping their £14.95 pay per view games that one bloke on here described as a 'bargain'.

quite right chatty , what a numpty.

still feeding his ego i see, pathetic!....

If I ever needed my "ego feeding" I would just scroll through the dozen upon dozen of threads you have started with my username in the title.
I doubt you have gone a week on here in the last 10 years without mentioning me in a post

i bet your mentioning of me is a very close second,even when i wernt posting you were constantly refering to me!, why you constantly mention me on general....

Yea right
A quick scan back shows me 21 of the threads you have started in the last 10 pages of this sportsboard has my username in the TITLE.
So lord knows then how many times you've actually mentioned me in said threads and all the others besides?

You really do need to get out more. (But not to stalk me, obviously )

He wont take advice to get out more chatty.
He would sooner sit in his no doubt grimy flat, wearing cheapo clothing which he has had on for a fortnight , trawling the web for anything anti utd.
Rumour has it he last had a bath the year the berties won their one and only euro trophy..

cheapo clothing last year i paid £5500 cash for a bike in august this year i paid £13699 for a bike to leave for my granddaughter to sell when i'm gone i have £1000s in the bank.

I doubt you are so forthcoming when signing on the dotted line at Brocol House.
And you still whined about the fact you may have had to pay the bedroom tax.

chatty i'm registered disabled genuinely so, and not fiddling before you insinuate differently,your dislike of me should have no bearing on that fact,and i regulary have to go for medicals to prove so,iv'e said it before i would love to be able to walk to the shops, i'm in agony after a minute or so of standing,i rarely get a good nights sleep,as you'll see with the times i sometime post.so no i dont sign on a dotted line at brocol house..

yea right . and not to mention feeding your right hand man,s ego 0yrs.

Usually having over 16k in assests effects a benefit?

...i paid 5500 cash for a bike in august this year i paid £13699 for a bike to leave for my granddaughter to sell when i'm gone i have £1000s in the bank.....

Just saying like.

I don't have an ego whups, but then again someone of your inferior intellect wouldn't be perceptive enough to recognise that.

Only messing pal.

With your superior intellect, you should know that after the word 'messing', there should be a comma.
No messing, pal.

Shall I add some snots to the occasion?
Why yes, I shall!

I think he meant ogre anyway.

Errrrr, IRONY once again ff, or was that over your head once more?

Plus, how long did it take you googling grammar to come up with that miniscule (incorrect) point?

Taking a look at most of your posts reflects the deficiencies in the U.K. education system.

I give you your post above,

"Well doen the Toon fans for raising money for foodbanks."

And the one prior to that:

"He wasn't the brighteest of sparks"
Now that IS a bad one to get wrong.

Is it just a bad spell you are going through?

If I were you I'd keep a low profile on the grammatical front for fear of making a fool of yourself once again!

BTW, a comma was not needed after the "messing" as I was not making a pause in my sentence at that point.

Shall I add some snots to the occasion?
Why, yes I shall!

Notice the moving of the comma in that last line to reposition the pause?

Yes it was.

Maybe that should have been,

Yes, it was.

"I love winding people up"

Just been to the toilet, I think a relative of yours fell out of my bottom.

You win ff, I can't compete with that level of intellect!

Of course I do.
