23-24 non-Wednesday football tonight / when SKY, TNT (BT), Amazon dictates.


Recommended Posts

For all the Sky fans out there, they have just announced they have secured 4 of the 5 rights packages for the season after next. 

TNT the other one package

So be farewell to Amazon Prime - though it doesn't start until the 2025/26 season hence another season and a half of that coverage. Starting this week with the midweek round.

Given Sky have basically grabbed the Championship be a lot of games

Was the Saturday 3pm ko up for discussion do you know?

No, I think that was agreed to be protected before the rights were put out to tender

The EPL wouldn't risk that whilst the threat of an independent regulator is looming.

I did make an attempt to watch that, tried Sky 401 and Netball was on so I watched that instead. A good watch as well. England 54-51 South Africa but that was of little consequence. SA did end in a flurry though.

On Amazon Prime, Mrs MK is a huge contributor to their revenues so at least I get something back

Nope 2-0 to the Victims who were awful.  2nd goal in last minute.

United huffed and puffed and had a few good situations they could have done better with.

Despite United having the odd moment, I thought Liverpool were in complete and utter control and didn’t really have to come out of first gear. What will have shocked Wilder was how much more physical Liverpool were in compared to United, United were just bullied at times.

Villa thoroughly deserved their win. Made City look very average 

Pep has a lot of players out of form at the minute. Foden is either good or bad, and he’s struggling when he plays centrally. Doku is hot or cold. Grealish has been poor. Alvarez seems to struggle against better sides.

The real is the loss of De Bruyne and the lack of ‘hit the ground running’ replacement of Gundogan. They’ve lost 20 to 30 goals and assists with those two and they are becoming easy to stop because they can’t get service into Haaland.

That said, Villa have been excellent and Emery is brilliant manager. He got panned at Arsenal but his record there was very good, and his record since was incredible.

Villa and Newcastle, I genuinely enjoy watching them.

I think Pep needs to stop trying to be a tactical genius all the time and go back to basics. City are starting to lose their aura and teams like Villa and Spurs think they can have them from the start and rightly so. A mate said would City benefit from dropping Haaland to stop being so predictable. 

But if Pep reverted to 4-4-2 and a few balls over the top then he would still be hailed as a tactical genius

Haaland ran out of patience with Phil Foden last night.

Villa pressed high up pitch but did leave space wide, Foden was picking the ball up and facing the Villa goal, Haaland would go and Foden would just ignore him. At times it was an angled 20 yard ball into the space behind Villa’s back four.

He must have made the run 5 times, Foden tried the pass once and duffed it. Haaland got very annoyed, and rightly so.

Pep is being Pep 

He's got his eyes elsewhere after the treble.

Same as Barca

Paris?

He's nowhere left to go. If he goes to PSG he might as well go to Celtic. The domestic leagues are the same. Saudi and MLS are the same. 

He'd have more of challenge in Serie A but about a quarter of the spending power. 

In the Premier League he's got the money and the adversaries to pit himself against. 

Wonder if he'd take the England job and try and put a World Cup on his CV

I initially had us getting a point at Coventry. Not too sure now, in fact I can see us getting beat 3-1. OK, I wasn't paying full attention to tonights game but what I did see was a very decent footballing side (Coventry) with a bunch of hackers trying to mug them for a point which they didn't deserve.

Oy. ‘Snap’ out of it. Stop being negative 😝

I just remember him as a highly attacking full back from his Burnley days. A superb crosser. 

He's been very good since then though Fred too.
Spurs, Atletico, and Newcastle... Not forgetting to mention the national team. (Although he'll likely be remembered for that free kick v Croatia more than owt else)

I know, Tee. (Didn't see him in Spain but on MOTD.)  Still never saw him be a quality defensive full back. Far from an awful one but his best qualities have been elsewhere, IMO. Not least free kicks, etc.
