    I know, and it also helps you to watch programmes from other countries that are geo blocked - but my point was that their use of the word pictures rather than stream was odd.

    Loose use of the language, I suspect.
    I have a Firestick which has a UK address and a VPN. Basically, once in a while, two programmes that I want to watch are shown at the same time, so the iPlayer is useful. That is barred to me, so it was fine when family brought the stick over for me, and I could use catch-up. After a couple of weeks the Beeb rumbled the VPN and blocked it. I suspect the VPN family have put on is not a very good one, but they have sent me a new one that I haven't tried yet. With summer coming and no football, watching TV or my computer screen will diminish.

    I get that a lot from Sky during a game - all I do is change servers.

    How do you put a VPN on a firestick?

    On the firestick Homepage, look for the 'Search' box - type in VPN - clicking on VPN at the top of the list produced should bring up all the VPN options available - just click on and download the one you want.

    Just bear in mind that they're not all free - if you want one of the better ones you may have to open an account and pay before being able to use it. Most give an option of 3, 6 or 12 months. They're not overly expensive, from memory mine works out to around £1.75 per week. If you don't want to pay, I think Hola is free.

    In an article of the WO site, this comment is made.

    "One thing that appears certain is Watford’s first game of next season will not be played at 3pm on a Saturday – that’s because the new deal includes all opening-day fixtures in the Championship, League One and League Two being shown live." Also,

    "Pretty much any club will confirm that when they play games at any other time than 3pm on a Saturday, match day revenue suffers – not just in ticket sales, but also income from refreshments, memorabilia, restaurant bookings and everything else."

    Have EFL really thought this deal with Sky through?

    It is a decent article. I think Gino has a problem. Inexperienced, but has brought a rapid improvement to the playing style, and seems to have the majority of fans behind him. I am not sure that getting rid of him for an unknown would go down too well.

    If they give him the time and backing they gave Zola if could be a success

    An experienced Manager as Director of Football who could give advice AND help with the right recruitment of players would help

    Watford FC is delighted to confirm the permanent appointment of Tom Cleverley as the Hornets’ Head Coach.

    The dice has been thrown

    So now he has to decide whether to go for that elusive home win or experiment with a couple of youth players on Saturday.
