[Globalgunner]

R M playing Bilbao at the minute. Bilbao leading courtesy of Inaki Williams. The Bilbao keeper Kepa is outstanding....and only 23. Must get.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think they have much of a chance, they're a little bit shit and I've got them for the sweepstakes.

Also, Marketing won't give Barca a guard of honour this weekend. Sad bastards. :lol:

lol no CL coverage either. Is there any point in getting Sky Sports anymore?

[Marc Overmars]

Sky :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

They've also lost ATP tennis and quite a few others sports recently.

Basically they over spent to secure PL football and that's basically drained all their resources to spend on anything else. I think they pay 5 billion for their PL packages yet wouldn't commit 25 million to secure all La Liga rights which puts it into perspective. :unsure:

And all this whilst they've raised prices. :doh:

I can see the domestic PL football money bubble bursting soon as Sky are going to start shedding subscribers at a fast rate. Hopefully it means we get some legal PL online streaming service soon, as provided it's reasonable (~£10 a month) I'd actually subscribe.

[Marc Overmars]

Getting rid of Sky was the best thing I ever did. Over the course of 12 months you don't realise just how much you're wasting.

F1 have just launched a live streaming service, but as Sky hold exclusive UK rights, it's not available in the UK.

Can’t you just use a VPN and a random foreign address?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky have been degrading their coverage year-on-year.

Their downfall was getting in Scott Minto to replace Mark Bolton; now they don't even have a proper Revista, just Balague talking at the Sky Cafe for a bit and Terry Gibson locked away in the production truck.

Also they don't even have a studio to talk about the matches anymore nor any real build-up. And what happened to the bar they created for the Revista programme? Maybe they can't rid of Merse from there.

Who fuck the are Eleven Sports and what eleven sports is it that they show?

I'll have to cut back on the amount of packages I have with Sky I think.

Eleven Sports is the ex-BT Sports director's project. Apparently they already have millions of subscribers in Europe and the States.

Eleven subscriptions is what we need to be wary of. By the time this winds out every CEO and his dog will have their paws in sports fans wallets.

[GP]

Apparently not. They won't accept a UK registered credit card.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Apparently not. They won't accept a UK registered credit card.

I've not really tried in all honesty.

We get screwed badly in this country. Apple for instance won’t accept UK credit cards in any other store. Apple Music is £9.99 per month here and $9.99 per month in Canada which works out 40% cheaper.

So I just bought a load of Apple gift cards when in Calgary last month.

:good:

[Niall_Quinn]

The commentators still don't understand that a penalty has to be a foul. Just touching a guy so he can dive is not a penalty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So close from Messi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oooh. Surely that was supposed to go in?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kroos off, Kovacic on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looks like Zidane has resigned. :popcorn:

Not a bad record tbf.

[GP]

Wenger in!

[Marc Overmars]

Good move on his part. It doesn’t really get any better than what he’s achieved, so it’s best to move on before the inevitable sack that would have come his way the moment they don’t win the CL.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Yeah Sid Lowe mentioned that this was a possibility .... go out on a high preserving his reputation as a RM great both on and off the pitch instead of ruining it when the bad results inevitably come. Wish Wenger did the same thing after the FA Cup win.

I bet Pochettino must be livid now he signed a new contract. :lol:


Dare I say it ........... but Wenger? It's not like RM are the type of side that needs heavy coaching & drilling. You just let them go at it ..... by all accounts that's what Zidane did.

[AFC Leveller]

Hes one of the names being linked, Perez is a huge admirer and the Real madrid players wont need much coaching or drilling, which makes Wenger ideal.

[Marc Overmars]

Wenger at Real Madrid would be funny, a club who are the complete antithesis of who he is.

[Özim]

Who will get Zidane next? Whoever does is lucky he's a top coach!

[Özim]

Hes one of the names being linked, Perez is a huge admirer and the Real madrid players wont need much coaching or drilling, which makes Wenger ideal.

Don't know why, Perez likes winning, Wenger hasn't really won much in the last decade, doesn't make any sense, Wenger also doesn't like to spend money whereas Perez does.

[Niall_Quinn]

:pray:

This would be one of the great comedy moments of modern times and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of cunts.

tbf Wenger is an excellent manager. They should go for him. He'd do really well there. He said today he's an ambitious guy and he wants to compete. So that must be true.

And we could pick up some of their lesser cunts in the exodus, so that's another plus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He deserves it. To be honest, I think that he will have the remit set out to him absolutely clearly by Perez.

The question I posed on Captain's thread was whether he is too emotionally scarred, which I think probably is the case.

I was saying Zidane :wave: throughout a lot of the season.

Didn't quite expect it in this way though.

[Cripps]

Zizou :bow:

Without doubt the best manager of this generation :bow:

Real Madrid the team of this generation :bow:

3 back to back European cups, who else has done that? Completely blown Pep out the water who last won the CL in 2011 :haha:

Best manager in the world :bow:


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Zinedine_Zidane_by_Tasnim_01.jpg/232px-Zinedine_Zidane_by_Tasnim_01.jpg

[Marc Overmars]

It's quite intriguing to see where Zidane goes next, I suspect he is more of a great man manager rather than some sort of trail-blazing genius but lets see if he can still be successful when the odds aren't heavily in his favour.

Any old monkey can't win the CL 3 times in a row though, it's the most difficult competition in the world to win so he must have something about him in fairness.

[Marc Overmars]

Sky are reporting that Real Madrid want Pochettino. :pray:

[Özim]

Zidane might take over the French national team when Deschamps invariably flops at the World Cup, would be good to at last have a decent coach for the French national team.

[GP]

Sky are reporting that Real Madrid want Pochettino. :pray:

He can take Kane and Eriksson with him.

[Cripps]

Madrid appoint Lopetegui :lol:

They choose some obscure guy over Wenger :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Petit said Wenger has a reputation in Spain for losing, so he would never have been considered anyway. :lol:
