September 19, 20205 yr i had to whack-a-mole 8 different streams in the first half of leeds-fulham. twice, the streamer switched the channel, once to cricket, the second time to a guy with one leg hiking a mountain. the pool match is going to be a disaster given the number of people that will be crushing the stream servers.

My mom has a nice TV and sometimes I'll watch sports over there - oh wait! Her TV is a Roku - so nope. This isn't even getting into how fucking stupid it was that none of the CL fixtures were on TV. Yeah, after the pandemic stoppage, Bleacher Report tapped out of Champions League and Europa League coverage. That allowed CBS All Access to pick it up a year or two earlier than planned. Here are two things that are fucked up about that: 1. For some reason Bleacher Report still streamed Europa Qualifying matches this week, so guess what? I missed the Spurs match. 2. CBS All Access is going away and becoming some Viacom super stream service in January. It’ll cost more I’m sure. Bonus rant point: Some bars don’t get the streaming services, so good fucking luck watching matches with other supporters.

I haven't watched a second of them yet this season - just going by results. West Brom is West Brom but 5 goals is 5 goals.
September 19, 20205 yr NBC and Roku reached a deal yesterday to make Peacock available. Who knows about Amazon.

Well, the key there is that they just beat them. The problem with Everton over the last five years is losing precisely this type of game against shit teams...particularly the week after a big win like Spurs last week. So that is encouraging. But I just can’t see CL realistically. It is too crowded at the top with really good teams. Pool and City are just to talent stocked to not finish in top two spots. Chelsea and United will both be good and I am convinced that arsenal is going to make an enormous jump up this year and challenge the top. Spurs are always there and Leicester and wolves should both be competitive as well. regardless, I do think that we will be a fun team to follow this year and shouldn’t have such frustrating, inexplicable results like we have been for a while.

I think it will depend on how Arsenal and ManU play this season. And maybe LC. I can't see any of Pool, City or Chelsea not taking a top 4 spot barring some massive injuries.
September 19, 20205 yr Palace is thoroughly outplaying ManU. But only a 1-0 lead. Don’t let ManU steal a point.
September 19, 20205 yr Palace up 2-0 with 13 left. Didn't see it but there was a questionable handball for United. VDB get one back for United. 2-1. 10 left. Edited September 19, 20205 yr by mdmost
September 19, 20205 yr I thought the handball was correct. But Palace got a break on the PK. They missed the PK but got a redo because a ManU player jumped into the box early. That was lucky. But fuck ManU. Edited September 19, 20205 yr by Jive Turkey
September 20, 20205 yr apologizers attributing the paycock explosion to a contractual obligation pileup for nbc. we'll see about that. rumour has it that if you have comcast, paycock paid is included as a free app. also the re-do on the pk was the keeper off his line before the ball was struck, so ticky tacky. but the result was just regardless. palace looked good and deserved all 3.
September 20, 20205 yr When you've been behind on sports all day and check in with the PL and see that ManU lost 3-1 to CP
September 20, 20205 yr Brighton up 2 on Newcastle through 70'. This bodes well for Chelsea's SoS later on in the season when the committee is deciding who makes the playoffs. (That's how this works, right?)
September 20, 20205 yr Tim Howard is ok with his on set analysis, but.. his play-by-play on match highlights is killing me.
September 21, 20205 yr On 9/19/2020 at 9:24 AM, Hagbard Celine said: did my cable bill go down $5 a month? no? Yeah, this is the thing that pisses me off. Plus they are showing ads on Peacock. So I'm paying a premium and getting ads? Fuck off NBC.
September 21, 20205 yr Next weekend looks better, 3 TV games and 1 paycock on both Sat and Sunday. Then Monday, Arsenal and Pool on the cock. Rage.
September 21, 20205 yr Don't forget that NBC had a jam packed weekend of sports to show - Tour de France, EPL, US Open. Let's see if this is a trend or more to do with a full schedule. It was 1 weekend.

September 21, 20205 yr 8 minutes ago, RamjetFDO said: FINALLY off and running ... #UTV And now you only have to play 10 of them!
September 21, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, Cheeseweasel said: And now you only have to play 10 of them! At this pace, it'll be 11-on-5 at the end of the match!
September 21, 20205 yr Just now, RamjetFDO said: At this pace, it'll be 11-on-5 at the end of the match! So, nil-nil draw?
September 21, 20205 yr Just now, RamjetFDO said: Ugh - my stream died JUST as the PK was to be taken, so I missed the save. https://streamye.com/v5duv
September 21, 20205 yr Lots to be happy about, lots to build on and correct ... 1 match, 3 points, clean sheet. Good start. #UTV
September 21, 20205 yr so we are now like 17 games into the season and still no draws. i don't know why that keeps coming up in my head but it's an interesting little nugget. wouldn't be surprised to see wolves and man city finish in a draw. at least until liverpool raided wolves this week. on that topic, can we now relegate liverpool to chelsea status for being financially backed by international criminals and all-around pieces of shit (standard chartered) given the news over the weekend?
