    Excellent hopefully this along with the FFP laws UEFA have brought in will break Sky's stranglehold on football and it's clubs

    Excellent, I ****ing hate Sky.

    Sky Atlantic = stop people without sky watching their favourite programs.

    Have Virgin Media = Sky buy Bravo and Living and close channels down on Virgin.

    Want sky at my house = You can have the TV and the Phone but you can't get broadband.

    ****ing arseholes.

    It could be the pin that pops the EPL bubble I keep hearing about. All we need to do now is learn half a dozen different languages.

    ****ing hate Sky and News International with all their greed and hypocrisy.

    But, as we've seen recently, their power extends far and wide and, unlike Tina, the wont take this lying down.

    No chance. The ****'s like Montgomery Burns in the Simpsons. Probably sacrifices virgins every night and drinks their blood.

    Neville better watch himself...

    All these foreign satellites have the option of English commentary too, I've got a moving dish in my gaff in Belfast.

    The Premier League will basically have to change their core contracts so they are charging foreign channels more money, or charge less in the UK to compete with them.

    Or Sky buy up the other broadcasters reducing compition and creating a monopolised market allowing them to charge over inflated prices and having every league in europe getting ****e deals to help them reach bummper deals with the epl.

    They won't lose it, they will have to be competitive. We will be able to choose between dozens of different satellite providers depending on what they offer, instead of just Sky. I've got a moving dish and all sorts of people connected through my house via the internet (and likewise me connected to their house) so that we can share satellite cards and get all the packages in Europe between us - it would be nice if there was an official legal way to achieve the same thing.

    Get a grip, it's the only decent football to watch, the SPL is utter guff. Even the Huns and Tims, although the best in Scotland are an embarrasment playing anyone else.
