TV Fixtures 2015/16

RE: The CL thing, I reckon it's to do with the PL being worried that if Utd go out in the qualifying rounds and the other 3 flop early as they're so used to doing, it opens up the door for the Italian teams to come in and poach that 4th CL spot from the 'vastly superior Premier League', so the Friday thing is to give the almighty United an extra 2 days rest come Tuesday night.

Basically, coefficients.

Coefficients are being fucked by English teams fielding weakened teams in the Europa League rather than Champions League teams getting to the quart-finalks at best.

Don't see United selling out tbh and if it does it'll be the usual influx of Brummie Reds in home ends.

Remember it's August and everyone is on holiday....or at least that's the excuse wheeled out when we get 30k v Newcastle and Hull in that month......

Been lost in the million signings but Sky moved Spurs away to Monday 2nd November and predictably Man. City at home been moved to the Sunday, half 1 kick off.

Those were just the two Sky ones I saw, dunno if BT moved any of our other games up to December.

BT don't have many games in those two months. None of them are Villa

Yes, got a family wedding on the Sat before the Man £ity game, so it's worked out for me for once.

SSN made their live fixtures announcement proclaiming that all PL teams will have been featured 3 times by the end of November and the top 4 will have been featured 6 times each. Just checked the BT Sport fixtures and we aren't featured at all.

I've been discontent with paying over £50/month for Sky (tv, broadband and phone) for a while so decided to ring around the main providers this evening...Sky offered same package for £48, BT had the cheek to say that BT Sport would actually cost an extra £5 if only taking their broadband...and TalkTalk (who have been shite for me previously) have offered £38 for everything including all Sky Sports channels via broadband. Tempted to make the switch to TalkTalk but not sure I can deal with YouView or risking having to stream the sports channels with on potentially shite broadband.

Was considering getting BT but don't think I'll bother. They boasted about showing every Champions League game but haven't shown one yet. I'm so starved of football I'd have quite happily watched the Gibraltarian Champions' qualifiying games. They couldn't even be arsed to show Celtic which, it's fair to assume, would've attracted a reasonable audience.

I was hoping that BT would show some obscure prelim games (ie like the Gibraltar example)

That non-high def Premier Sports channel has been showing some games.

Yeah the BT guy on the phone was telling me how they now have exclusivity over Champions League...but thats something I can quite easily live without if you have to change supplier and pay for it. Turns out he was a Sunderland fan so we chatted about our prospects for 10 minutes then politely declined their expensive BT broadband with BT Sport package (£29.49/mth but would also need to keep Sky TV to watch BT Sport as my internet wouldn't be fast enough to stream BT Sport via BT broadband...total would still be over £50/mth to watch any live Villa games).

Looks like BT are getting La Liga as well.

First home game of the season, Man United, loads of excitement and optimism again. Full house I reckon.

I wish BT would fuck off. Having to pay for one lot of TV rights is bad enough without having to pay for two.

Looking at the seat finder, I doubt they'll much left after the end of next week.

I really hate that it's not enough for you to have one subscription with them. If you want to watch anything on different TV's, you have to have more than one subscription. Now they've got all the fucking Champions League games. They really are a greedy bunch of tosspots.
