No more Murdoch owning Sky

 

No Fox given.

 

Obscure topic to deserve its own thread Beef!

 

It's a huge deal and effects a **** load of things. Also means we don't have to put up with Murdoch wanting to buy sky every year

 

TSS can finally get that Sky subscription he secretly wants!

 

Hopefully sack Stelling and replace him with Donald Duck

 

Ok, I don't think it deserves its own thread - could go in the Off-topic or Premier League threads.

 

If people don't feel it is thread worthy they won't post and the thread will die. This place is hardly a crazy hive of activity these days

 

I don’t see a problem with this thread as it has a football connection.

 

I always thought he was a good left back. About time he got a big money move.......

 

Playing for Forest now it seems.

 

Nah, the last Disney film that had a fox playing in Nottingham was in 1973 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070608/

 

Also, just realised this may give us this film:

Alien vs Predator vs Mickey Mouse

 

No he won't. He's quite happy without it. But I note the notoriety, lol.


And sure it's worth it's own thread. Wish I'd thought to do it.

 

From 2019 BT and Sky will share their football games. So you only need one sub

 

Fine so long as my BT sub doesn't go up by more than inflation.

 

Surely the deal cannot be so powerful that it dictates how many players can play in a game

Yet ...
