    I've not had Sky Sports for 20 years. Too expensive. Anyway, I'm away tonight so was looking forward to watching the game. Wow. I had to turn the pre match stuff off. SO BORING. Do people actually pay for this crap?

    Jamie Carragher droning on and on about nothing, drawing squares on an oversized Ipad? It's so dull.
    There to justify themselves, nothing more. Self perpetuating b#llox

    And lo and behold, half time, we have Gary Neville doing the same thing.
    It's tedious to watch. Anyone can pick a piece of play and draw some boxes with a gadget. Tell us something we don't know.

    I want to see fans, behind the scenes shots, previous encounters. Build up to the game. I don't want to see Jamie Carragher with an Ipad.

    Abysmal. The game isn't much better.

    Bang on. The premiership is a franchise. So bloody dull and boring.

    And the 'experts'. Dear god. They just make a rubbish product even worse. German league will soon take over. Except the German FA aren't so easy to persuade to sell the soul of their country's game.

    I've just seen an horrific challenge by Barkley on Henderson.

    Studs showing, took his standing leg. Yellow card.

    Yet hamill got a red last week?

    Absolutely shocking

    Shocking tackle, studs up from behind.
    So much for the tackle from behind being outlawed!

    And the best thing is that they get paid a small fortune for doing this. You couldn't make it up.

    I NEVER watch the "pundits" most boring sh*te on the telly. The matches usually aren't much better either. I don't pay Murdock either, I get it on a Kodi box.

    If Murdock's complete takeover goes ahead, I'll change my broadband supplier as well. Although it feels quite nice using Sky Broadband to watch all Sky channels for £4.50 a month....

    Just watch it on your smart phone, or whatever it's called.
    Download Mobdro and Adblockplus and watch the game when it starts. It may be about a minute behind real time but that doesn't matter. You get all channels, Skysports, BT sports, all regular channels, BBC etc, and I have to say it's bloody good.
    I've got a Samsung phone and generally the picture is very good. You can watch it on your knee, headphones on and not disturb anyone.
    But the best thing is, IT'S FREE, so you're not putting a penny in Sky's pocket.
    By the way, I don't think an Apple phone will do Mobdro.
