Oh well. At least Murdoch's house burned down.

Unfortunately nobody remembered to lock him in.

Sky prices going up an extra 10% than they would have anyway next year then.

Sky can charge whatever they like. I don’t care.

I’m sure the police will love the Saturday 19:45 games.

Hasn't changed much since Roman times. They too knew how important it was to keep the circus happy while they treated themselves to the bread. It'd be great if every football crowd got together after the match and marched on Sky and BT HQs (bit tough on the Geordies but they are used to it). Just the once. To show them what might happen if they steal any more of the game. Won't happen, but I'd go if it did.

We could do a Wenger out bit as well.
