Corky Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 A breaking news line in from Upton Park: West Ham have agreed to terminate Ravel Morrison's contract with immediate effect. That's a shock, he scored an amazing goal in training once.
Mark Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Another injury to a Stoke centre back, can Huth get recalled?
Spicer Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Would people want Morrison? Clearly has talent but has major attitude and application problems.
Babylon Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I'm not sure if the footballing Gods are smiling on us with all the teams above helping us out, or being nasty bastards and just tempting us with a 'look at what you could have won!' attitude... The reality is, most of them are as no better than as us and that's why we're still just a few points off. In fact, we've closed the gap lets not forget. That's why survival is still possible.
Lcfc_1995 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Would people want Morrison? Clearly has talent but has major attitude and application problems. Pearson won't take him because of his attitude, that's why Nick powell had got sent back to Man United earlier in the season!
bovril Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 He's the kind of player that hardly anyone would have heard about in the pre-internet days.
StanSP Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Another injury to a Stoke centre back, can Huth get recalled? I don't think so. Not from what Hughes has said after Shawcross got injured otherwise he would have done it by now.
jonthefox Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 New TV rights deal just announced. £5.136 billion. That's a lot of lolly.

Corky Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 New TV rights deal just announced. £5.136 billion. That's a lot of lolly. Fantastic, that should see an increase in ticket prices by at least £10 on average.
wurmer Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Bottom club now gets an estimated £99m vs the current £80m.... From the Independent... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/11403580/Premier-League-TV-rights-when-and-where-to-watch-the-football.html Or Super Mega Triple Double Extra Bacon Awesome Sunday, as Sky once considered branding it for Aston Villa thrillers. The big news is thatSky have kept the two Sunday afternoon games, including Super Sunday. Bear in mind throughout all this that the TV companies, of course, get to choose which matches they show, but obviously everyone wants Man United v Liverpool, Arsenal v Chelsea and QPR versus the creeping sense of hopelessness. Thus, all of the agreed packages have included SOME but not ALL first picks. Sky Sports will have the game at 4pm or so – this package has a lip-smacking 18 first-choice matches, so expect the biggest games to continue in this slot. They will also show the earlier game at lunchtime. Nothing doing for BT on Sundays. FridaySky have paid 5.136 billion for all their packages and will now show live top-flight football on Friday nights. There will be at least 18 games on a Friday night. This package was bundled with Monday nights… Monday Night Football ...which will still be shown on Sky Sports 1. The programme that introduced the Hairy Handed Richard Keys to the nation and is now so expertly pundited by Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp stays on Sky Sports 1. SaturdayWhether we like it or not, the idea of football on Saturday’s is still mired in the 1980s, because people in the olden days believed that football on a Saturday afternoon would stop people going to the game. So they went to a pub with moody Norwegian satellite TV. Catch up, granddad! Sky Sports and BT Sports have done a Saturday Switcheroo. Sky Sports show the game that kicks off the weekend by kicking off at 12.30. And then once everyone has come back from the ground/from the shops/from the hypnotic trance of watching Souey too early in the morning, then it’s over to BT Sport for the 5.30pm kick off. The much less good days of the week, aka weekdaysThere was a small package (stop it) of six weekday matches and then eight Saturday matches, but there were only two ‘first picks’ up for scrumps in this section. Bank HolidaysLast and sorta kinda least, the package for eight Bank Holiday matches and six Saturday matches has gone to BT. So what does it all mean? Well, it means that Sky have won packages A, C, D, E and G below and they paid an astonishing 5.136 billion to do so. Talk of a new player in town by, and about, BT may have been exaggerated... The thoughts of Eurosport or whoever muscling in has been curtailed for now. That's what paying ten million per match gets you.
lgfualol Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Friday night premier league football. For the fans.
Fox92 Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Pretty sure one day grounds will be empty. Pretty sure Sky want that too. Hate Sky.
wurmer Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Friday night premier league football. For the fans. We all know it's not been about the fans for years now...
Guest MattP Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Pretty sure one day grounds will be empty. Pretty sure Sky want that too. Hate Sky. Yep. Same as NFL then. All games on TV - but can;t go on until the club have bought up all the empty seats. Win-Win situation for everyone except us lot who have to walk through the rain after work on a Friday night to watch our team.
ScouseFox Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 I like Friday night games if I can get them off work
Corky Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 I can't actually work out why companies are paying those figures. So many football matches are really dull, yet every live match is worth £10 million from next year. Can't see many lower teams getting on too much.
Buzzell Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Paul Lambert leaves Aston Villa by mutual consent.
tom27111 Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Lambert sacked, makes Sunday a little bit harder for us.
