    I just look at I can got to Spain, Greece and anywhere in the world and can get the Swans live, but cant here, I understand why but times move on. I have sky purely for the sport. I ay over £100 a month for the privilege, but find I am watching more repeats than anything else.

    Sorry but we dont know yet....He has not played many games for us and some have been good and some have been average just like many other players we have. We need to improve our defense ten fold if we are going to improve on last season.....

    I love watching live football but i'm no mug paying stupid prices for the privilege, It is outrageous the price premiership clubs charge to watch a game of football and it's all to do with greed......So on principle i will watch all my games on the web for free and clubs can go to hell.....

    Definitely another RB and nnother LB to cover Olsson and Kingsley wouldn't go amiss. I think we need three each side to cover against injuries and fatigue over a full season with cup games. Imo we need another CB's too, as I don't rate Fernandez. Its just my opinion but I think he's fourth in running behind Mawson, VDH, Bartley.

    I don't rate Fernandez either. I thought it was just me.

    Nope, anyone who's watched him play over the last two seasons should also agree Lib <ok>

    Ah, the good old days. 12 pence to a shilling; 20 shillings to a pound; 240 pence to a pound.

    As a trainee Quantity Surveyor, I had to help out with the wages calculations.
    A typical example was, say, 55 and three quarter hours at 4 shillings and eleven pence halfpenny per hour. Then you had overtime, which would have been another dreadful calculation. Oh, and all done with pencil and paper,i.e., no calculators, no slide rules, no comptometer operator, no short cuts or aids whatsoever.
    On one occasion the Chief Estimator saw me using a ready reckoner, and he went ballistic, and reported me to my boss. I never did it again.
    But it taught me how to do sums.
    Kids today have precious little between their ears, and would slit their wrists if they had to deal with the old money,and everything that came with it.

    We need much better players than VDH and Bartley and others. Our defense let in some shocking goals last season and the season before and if you dont have a good defense then you will always be in the bottom half fighting relegation.....Clem wont want another season of a relegation dog fight but that is what he will get if we dont buy some quality defenders.....Fab needs to improve on last season also as he made more errors than he has previous. He needs competition as his position is far too safe and when that happens standards begin to slip as he knows he will play the next game anyway.....

    Would you mind losing Mawson to Spurs Dai? I wouldn't at all especially if it was for anywhere near the sum being mentioned, £40m, that's got to be a joke right? For half that I'd drive him to whoever was dumb enough to pay that amount of money. Even half that would be a good deal for us. Thing is who'd we replace him with but we could get two decent CB's for £20m imo.

    Sky film all matches live, why they have failed to provide fans with the facility to watch their own team is astonishing given that fans can watch their team through foreign streams, kodi boxes, Android boxes etc.

    I have had a running debate with Sky on this issue, and because they with the Premier league are closing down these streams and kodi etc, I have cancelled my Sky last month and told them that I now have an android box with kodi and other streaming apps that will always give me SD and HD football and films.

    They can only go so far with chasing the market on this, how do they control streams coming from Russia? Or any of the many other countries? They cannot unless they control the Internet.

    PS: By the way if your going to use all these free streams, make sure you enable or use a good VPN service, otherwise you might well find your ISP will turn off your Internet services.

    As regards movies, the Hollywood studios are now targeting the end user, especially for downloading films through torrent, another reason to ensure you have your VPN turned on all the Time. .......... <ok>

    Myself I'd rather see us hold onto players and build a decent solid PL squad than to see jerkins and co rubbing their hands at the prospect of bigger dividends , but I guess I'm in the minority .
