What’s everyone’s thoughts on Amazon prime? It’s been so much better than Sky IMO. Hopefully they can get more games in the future and eventually become the main provider, at a much cheaper rate.

If they become the main provider, they'll have to outbid Sky and BT. What do you think will happen to the prices should that happen?

Exactly this. They bought 2 rounds of fixtures which is a drop in the ocean to what BT and sky have shelled out

They are thinking big picture at the moment. Getting people to take a free month's trial in December, it's a fantastic strategy. They might not make a lot of money from the football, but they will make a lot of money from Christmas purchases on their website.

Our new overlords are strengthening.


EPL had to facilitate more than 2 broadcasters for monopoly reasons IIRC, so they offered 2 special deals: for every game on Boxing Day and 'a bank holiday' (New Year) and every game on 2 midweek rounds (in early December and late January). One of them didn't sell first time round IIRC, and it seems they've since swapped halfs such that Amazon gets early December and Boxing Day - allowing them to package both under a 1 month trial - while BT gets New Year plus the graveyard slot in late January. Purportedly at least one of them sold for less than hoped, too.

It's an interesting move by Amazon but also an interesting move by EPL. Of course a side effect is neither Sky / BT has any EPL action on Boxing Day (nor on New Year for Sky).

Did they say half a billion has been spent on this Everton team?

That is what has been spent since the new owners took over so not all on the current squad

Apparently their eleven tonight cost more than Liverpool's.

Think Mane has leapt past Ronaldo already in next year's Ballon D'or race.

Liverpool didn't even have to try to pump Everton who are in serious trouble at the moment. Players are falling out with each other, they can't get anything going on the pitch and the manager is clearly making desperate tactical decisions. They need a change ASAP or they risk staying in this relegation battle

Seeing Pickford in a relegated side would be pleasing though.

Memories of 2017, the last time Pickford was relegated lol

Before the start of the season I picked Newcastle to be the "big" club to be relegated in amusing fashion, looks like it could be Everton instead.

Speaking of which, the man to lead Everton against Chelsea is:

Duncan Ferguson!

Is that Alan Shearer on the Arsenal commentary?

I'm afraid so...

Stadium FX option is excellent in this situation 😉
