That's a bleak outlook. Purity is in the lower leagues or just playing with mates. You don't even have to go that far. Those who are sick of Sky and BT can just find an illegal stream. That is what happened with the music industry. The regular gunk stopped selling because of illegal downloads and now industry execs are scrambling trying to find a new model. What you'll find is most people are willing to support an independent model over the corporate structure. I don't know how things will work in football, but the bottom line is, if everyone rushes out to pay for the new BT Sports package to go along with their Sky Sports package then nothing changes. I don't know how long BT have the rights for but if it's profitable and makes them a load of money, I'm sure someone else will try to get a look in on the rights if they want in on the sports money. If it fails miserably and illegal streams rocket, it's a kick in the teeth for them and they'll walk away.
Anyway, spending too much time on this. It's deadline day.

Nothing expected today at Arsenal (as has been case since Cech signed).

Either Cavani or Great Khali
A lot of that is true in some respects, but the pigs follow the sheep. If everyone got pissed off with the PL and started watching non-league footie then the pigs would be attracted to that because the numbers would work. There needs to be robust discrimination against pigs in all forms of sport. Some of the most iconic moments in sport were delivered in crummy stadiums and on one of the three available TV channels. These pigs aren't required, they don't add value. Hopefully more people are going to start seeing it. Calling BT today to tell them to fuck off with their super duper package. Tried to watch the match on the weekend on that BT Player. Had to switch to a pirate stream to avoid all the freezing, resetting and pixelation.
