    Or he has also been a victim of the windiest windup in the history of windupiness!

    Most likely the only reason I don't think it's total bollocks is because over on RTG and here he doesn't come across as an attention seeking bullshitter.

    It's not on ESPN2 here in the USA.

    It's on ESPN+, which is their paid addon streaming service.

    The blokes definitely not a bullshitter but I do think he, like we all would, has got a bit carried away by it all. If he's getting messages saying it's a huge thing and it'll be announced soon, he's bound to be buzzing. Unfortunately that's led to posts with dancing emojis etc and people thinking it's going to happen imminently. By now, even if he's delighted by something he hears, I'm not going to get too optimistic until it's announced, we don't really know how close his sources are to it and how likely it is that their info is up to date. It's the Methven thing that's irritated me mind, if he says imminent last week then that's, again, bound to get people expecting an announcement because you surely wouldn't say it if it wasn't pretty much complete

    If we don't hear by the weekend he has dropped another bollock along with the ALS leak.

    Thanks marra. I've been duped, psychology manipulated. Going to give Donald the backing he deserves until it's announced.

    Not sure how it would or would not work in IPTV...

    I pay $5.99 a month for ESPN+ and it essentially expands available content in the ESPN streaming app for subscribers. Essentially, when you go into the ESPN streaming app, anything earmarked "ESPN+" falls into that category. If you click on a showing with that, if you've paid the monthly fee, the event will load and air as normal. If you are not an ESPN+ paid subscriber, you get the upsell message "ESPN+ content is for paid subscribers - only $5.99 a month..." yada yada...

    How on earth do you expect a League 1 club to sustain the 35k per week wages of 2 players? We had to get rid of them

    From what I saw they were scarcely worth a contract and certainly not stand-out players in this league. The disappointment was our lacklustre efforts at replacing them

    This is becoming one huge never ending kick in the balls.

    I think it’s best to accept nothing will come of it at this point.
