Yeah I got a bit carried away because they beat the scummy chavs

But **** Villa

I hope they crash and burn

For me he’s the best manager in the Prem

I know your lot are sat at the top but it’s through lots of boring 1-0’s and set piece goals and irritating things like feigning injuries to break up play etc etc bitty stuff

Unai got Villa playing some swashbuckling stuff scoring bangers most weeks

City give off an energy of being a well oiled machine getting on with it, been there done it just need to keep heads down and keep working vibe, nowt special like prime Germans at a tournament back in the days.

Emery is the man would love him at Spurs but he deserves better.
 
One thing I have liked this Christmas with the fixtures is putting the Prem & Lower leagues on alternate days.

So like today Prem, tomorrow/Monday my club, Tues Arsenal v Villa.

Same with Boxing day, it was my club, then the Prem fixtures on the Saturday.

What I don't like is what's coming up on Tuesday, lots of Prem fixtures being televised at the same time, spread the ****ing games out.

They’ve made Birmingham v Southampton an 8:15 KO. Bad enough having 8pm night games but can do without that nonsense creeping into our league. Not like anyone who doesn’t support the teams is watching.

I think they are trying to compete with TNT but making a **** job of it. SKY only got themselves to blame for not competing for the European games. Seriously seems like SKY have run out of ideas of how to reinvent themselves to keep up with the competition - especially with Amazon jumping on and creaming a few games off TNT. The latter I feel is the better streaming service. The only incentive for me to keep SKY is the lower league games, because I use to have to pay for them.

They’ve got the Europey and Conference from the next contract in a year or two.

They’re just trying to maximise what they have which is fine when we’re neutrals wanting football on tv to watch or not but it’s going to be an arse getting home even from a home game that late. If they have to pick a game for that slot at least make it one which doesn’t inconvenience away fans much. Lesta v Derby is available.

Mind you DAZN aint great with Serie A, use to be so much better when CH4 had it. Also the ****ers put National League and Serie A on two seperate subscriptions, conning bastards.

Didn't know they got the next contract, that's good.
