  1. I don't think Moyes understands how a face mask works
  2. Gundogan just as much to blame imo, but at least one of them should have took command of that situation. Imagine being two top class players and ending up doing that under little pressure on the half way line
  3. League 1 side, he also cost £750k. That makes me feel much better about him. Come back please Rob!
  4. The signing that perhaps most personified Ashley's era for me. Arrived for 100k from some league two side, was predictably utter shite, acted the cunt who liked to tell us we weren't all that and who somehow despite all this made 55 appearances for us. Good riddance indeed. Take your boss(es) with you.
  5. Hopefully in time we’ll look back at him as a overpriced Joselu replacement
  6. This - I used to have loads of pirated music but haven’t downloaded anything dodgy in years as Spotify feels like good value and covers pretty much everything I listen to. Football costs a fortune and being split across a number of providers inevitably means there are plenty of games I don’t have a access to (even after paying all that money). Spotify gives the square root of fuck all to the artists Perhaps it means the most popular artists earn less. At the same time it allows for much lower barriers of entry for starting bands and artists, less reliance on agents (record companies) and arguably a healthier marketplace for music. The analogy works quite well with football come to think of it. Don't agree with this....the best will always earn millions one way or another. I personally think Ed Sheeran is garbage, and Adele couldn't sing her way past the first round of x-factor, but enough people disagree with that opinion that they are sitting in houses worth millions, and I'm almost certain they sit and dry their tears over my opinion with £50notes every night Yeah. I’m sure I’ve seen plenty of artists come out and say that singers are now required to do more tours if they wish to make money anymore. I think a lot of them have recouped revenue through the increase in popularity of vinyl, and other merchandise though. However they have said that they now have to work more for their money rather than spending a few weeks every couple of years in a recording studio.l like they used to be able to do. Surely it’s much better for the fans if artists make money actually making music for the fans, no?

You feel instead of earning millions through spotify they should be earning billions through CD sales why young artists play music in the street because they can’t get a record deal?

  9. Sure, but "piracy will kill the game" is a self serving capitalist argument. The game was around long before broadcasting of it started and it can be argued that the commercialisation of broadcasting has had and is having an adverse effect on the healthiness of the game. Sky, BEIN and all the others will destroy the game long before piracy does.
  10. Technically she got it over the line, then it all went wrong The Ashley era captured in gif
  11. Aye, twice in a row. Bent as fuck
  12. If that stands after VAR might as well give up with VAR tbh
  13. This. You’d have to be a fool to turn down the biggest moneybags in the world and piss them off to such an extent as to ensure they’re not coming back and may well take their money to a direct competitor. The PL are using whatever leverage they can get to allow the deal through on the best possible conditions for themselves, i.e. open up a massive new and affluent market to them and create real competition for the TV rights next round of negotiations. No wonder the Qataris are acting up and piling on the pressure in public.
  14. Can always rely on Bloomberg to spread Saudi's fairy tales.. no longer worked ffs The US' stance on the majority of Qatar's claims in the WTO report is also unceremoniously pro-Saudi. BeIN has been widely available legally throughout the last year in KSA, as I have said previously. I was under the impression that they were still banned from being shown in public places though (i.e. cafes) Al-Jazeera is (apparently). BeIN's channels are available (unofficially) through their official mobile/TV apps and also some other popular 3rd party (legal) app. Apparently loads of people watch it that way in KSA. IPTV is the future after all. But do you mean it is available legally and in paid for format? I understand there are illegal streams available just like everywhere else in the world, but that Bloomberg article said "Saudi sports cafes have returned to broadcasting BeIN" by which I (perhaps wrongly) presume they are no longer running illegal streams through beoutq or other means and are using legal, paid for streaming methods, which would entail BEIN is no longer banned access from the KSA market as it is claiming..? Why even mention it otherwise?
  15. Aye, his feet have moved I think
  16. Yep, not looking good at all. Neck or back fracture?
