    It's a real shame for the game because it's been warped out of shape now, where a few ultra rich clubs dominate, footballers are paid obscene amounts of money and the average fan is left out of pocket.

    I think it's only going to get worse to be honest. Look at the situation at PSG where Cavani is demanding to be paid everytime Neymar takes a penalty. It's the money in the game that's produced displays of utter bitch rants like that. (Not sure what Bod's excuse is :) )

    I remember going to the bridge in the mid 80's. You were diabolical at times. And the ground was a proper ****hole too. Remember the old running track around the pitch ? As away fans we used to get locked in for hours after the final whistle too because the headhunters were outside looking for a scrap.

    The most telling thing was when we had that thread on here about worst defeats and United/Liverpool fans were mainly talking about big defeats to each other etc.

    Then you had Chelsea fans talking about getting thumped 6-0 by the likes of Rotherham <laugh>

    OK seems the laws have changed but what the figures in the BBC statement are saying that the providers i.e.. Sky & BT are greedy ****s and the everyday person cannot afford to pay for the product. Maybe they should look at this report and figure it out.

    For the general public at large the message is clear don't use Kodi boxes, get a VPN and **** them...theyll never find you.

    I came on to complain that FF capt Kane hadn't scored yet, but then he duly obliged.

    Lovely 2nd from Kane there.

    Said earlier can see them giving Hudders a hammering and watching this it could end up any score.

    @Spurlock blatantly sat on his hands <laugh>

    Said it before, people got too carried away by their good start. Plenty of newly promoted sides have had a good start and tailed off, Blackpool to name one.

    Think them and Brighton are almost certainties really which leaves one place.

    Though I think Hudders were smart this summer doing that thing where they buy a lot of good championship players so will be in good stead to come back imo.

    This was never a game Huddersfield were going to get anything from, at worst they're gonna get a lower GD but they'll still get goals and points against the teams around them, what they do in Jan will decide their fate imo.

    I think they'll have a long period where they'll struggle to score goals tbh. Can't see them staying up.

    Good times to have Kane as FF captain!
    Just a small gripe about officials. 4th official should be the easiest thing. 3 goals in this half and he adds on one minute... basic

    Spuds haven't broken a sweat yet, the Town's defending is naive at best.

    I don't agree. They charge what they charge to get a ROI for the billions that they pump into the PL. Those who access the games illegally are stealing. If you can't afford to pay for it, then that's just the way it is.
