• 'Even my 78-year-old father streams' – why football fans are switching off It's ridic. I used to buy a Sky pass for Christmas fixtures and even then, I don't get all the games because it's divided between them and BT. Also, the punditry on BT is awful


• Real Madrid 'tried to hire Pep Guardiola' to replace Rafael Benitez in November You would, wouldn't you?

Atletico Madrid will be moving to a new stadium next year

Man, but why?

Nike Strike Series

Yesterday, Nike released stills of its contracted players wearing the new training kit

Players from across all the leagues and the countries that they have a kit deal with

Still that ugly torso and shoulder design. Jeez

I couldn't find every player, but I think they'd have posted themselves posting in their new kits on Instagram

Eric someone or the other

Hazard got in on the action

The drop crotch silhouette is all right, still.


OP: done! Cheers, jeers and all the rest of it, you know the drill! Cut my finger last night, and it's bleeding again now. :/

West Ham fans have been a problem for a while. The club should splash out on more policing.

The sad thing is this will probably harm those who want safe standing.

yeah, it's so annoying actually

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

Football is barely humoured by the powers that be as it is and this after the amount of money it has swishing around. West Ham's shenanigans won't make the outlook on it any better.

I think safe standing is a go, though. Other clubs who have decent stewarding do want it. They want the atmosphere similar to what the Bundesliga has.

I hate to think how much that mostly ugly training kit costs!

I can't see Terry paying any mind to these cretins and their ever so witty song.

i'm sure my granddad would stream if he could use a computer properly

he just doesn't watch at all because it is so expensive

(he'd rather listen on the radio than pay the prices being asked)

I think Sky and BT underestimate how well regarded the radio coverage is by fans. It's got a history, it's free, it's accessible from anywhere, and it's good commentary.
