No, think he said after last time he wouldn’t be saying anything till it’s official anymore after getting fans hopes up last time only for nothing to happen.

It feels like every journo under the sun is suddenly tweeting positive things based purely on the piracy stuff that came out yesterday. I'm not convinced, still, that any of them have any information. Yeah I'm sort of leaning that way a bit. Feels like they've made the same connection fans have to the piracy news, not necessarily heard anything. But I'd love to be wrong What other connection could there be though? This may be quite negative, but what if they have intially failed the tests? And this tougher stance on piracy and buying up shares in BT etc. Is a sort of look at us cleaning up our act. Prem looks better for denying it in light of quite obvious issues, Saudi go away and do all the necessary changes for a smoother process for prem etc. Like I say, pretty wild and negative outlook but too many times have we seen every reporter jump on any any bit of news and the deal was as good as signed months ago. I’m almost certain we would have heard if they had failed, their is a list of people wanting this to fail, not to mention Mike Ashley would have been straight out with a statement.

That Sean ingle from the guardian also said decision in days on Friday night before any of the latest piracy news.

That the tests haven’t started yet ?

That news today about the Saudi's putting in plans for the piracy was massive, they are not going to do that imho if the takeover was going to get knocked back. Also think the news about BT investment is quite significant also. Agreed, however after getting my hopes up a few times previously, I’m not getting to excited over this just yet.

I think the media have clearly been told something, obviously other evidence could still come out again.

Wonder what he will go for if they go down considering the market this summer ?

Wouldn’t mind Watford going either can’t stand Pearson.

Who would people choose to go down alongside Norwich ?

Same but as long as it’s still possible it still feels a bit more exciting.

He is most definitely not a mackem like! Sunderland fan according to the commentary.

Need Joelinton off ASAP.

Need a goal whilst on top.

Have a feeling we are going to look really unfit and lethargic today. More so than normal I mean.

Shola is actually a worse pundit than he was a player, that takes some doing.

What line of questioning ? Well they have no doubt been getting questioned about the piracy/copyright etc...and i think (hope) this is a direct response to that, a way of appeasing the Premier League and showing that they're doing something about it. Hopefully, it would certainly make sense, I can’t see them shutting this down if it was being rejected.

What line of questioning ?

Certainly hasn’t broken lockdown judging by that haircut.

It will be that keeper from Motherwell. Gillespie I think he’s called.

Hull and charlton below them play each other later on as well so guaranteed to be 4th bottom today.

Boro 2-0 down at home to Swansea

Again that’s just an interpretation that’s what leaves this whole thing on a knife edge as everyone has different views on it. That's no interpretation, there is nothing in the report stating the government of KSA or PIF were directly involved in the transmission. No but the reporters who are saying it does are highlighting other points about them not shitting it down which shows they supported it and seem to believe that will be enough. You could say that about Amazon then also as you can install the Kodi/IPTV (and I presume BEoutQ) apps on the firestick so why have they not shut that down/stopped available downloads of these apps I honestly think the report gives the premier league enough room to decide either way and not suffer any backlash.
