UEFA Champions League 2015/2016

[Trilly]

Got the letter through today, BT going to charge me £3 extra a month.

Not bad, for unrivalled Champions League coverage.

I might ditch Sky Sports.

I like what BT are doing, pegging sky down a notch.

Competition is always good for the customers, right now I would say BT are better value for money than Sky.

Sanogo starts on the bench for Ajax in their away match v Rapid Wien. Kicks off in just over 15 minutes.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Ajax are 2-0 up at HT, two goals from Klaassen. The average age of the team is 21 years and 219 days!

P.S. The May 24th statistic shows how old they were when Ajax won the Champions Cup last time.

Good performance from an inexperienced squad. A bit more experience and they'ld have won it. Giving that equaliser away and intat way while playing v 10 was very bad. Ajax could do with some more experience. Hopefully Ajax don't **** this up at home, Holland need ramkig points, and the last thing we want is the Mancs drawing Rapid.

Sanago didn't have the chance to show something in the few minutes he got.

No Dutch team will ever win the CL again, in the post-Bosman, sign as many foreigners as you like era, no team can keep their talents long enough anymore. Also to hard to attract players; Ajax have money, but can't get the kind of players they want.

I get BT internet free so also get the Sports free. Haven't had Sky Sports in ages so I'll actually get to watch the CL in decent quality this year, all hail BT.

I actually want Bayern/Barca/PSG in our group. This group needs that extra push and a win against any of those would be great confidence wise for us.

Another win for BT.

I wonder if Sky are regretting the stupid amounts of money they spent on the PL.

 

[Bigbludfire]

I think BT are overestimating how many viewers they're going to get. They won't hit Sky's numbers if their external content is the same sack of **** they're still serving.

 

[tap-in]

I've never had Sky because I cant stand Murdoch and the fact that he started stealing my TV sport all those years ago. I dislike him for many other reason as well BUT I have always had BT broadband and now fibre, so I get free Sport and I finally get to watch or even record CL games. Now we can go and win it!

Good things come to those who wait!

BT showing the boxing tonight too, Danny Garcia v Paulie Malignaggi - Sky Sports rarely show foreign boxing now as the viewers aren't there in the middle of the night.

 

[GOONER1991]

I don't like change.

Can't believe that there hasn't been a major price drop for Sky Sports.

BT better hire top pundits for their CL coverage, no one wants to hear Kevin Davies when Arsenal are losing 4-0 to Barcelona next season.

The fact that Robbie Savage could be commentating on a Champions League makes me irrationally angry.

Interesting to see how Chelsea do in Europe against elite teams, they seem to lack a gear I think, especially when Cesc isn't on his game.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Someone needs to get another petition going to get Michael Owen off the air, he's so ****ing jarring I can't take it. His constant poor predictions should be an indicator of how much he knows about the game- very, very little.

Am I right in thinking Hoddle has jumped ship and is now on BT? That's a coup for them if so, he's a good pundit.

I always wonder what would happen if Ajax had yet another golden generation come through like they did when Cruyff came through, probably be picked apart while they're still in the youth team. Pretty sad really.

 

[clockwork orange]

They're 2-0 down v Rapid after HT, they need a Sanogo hattrick (he's still on the bench).

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

2-1 down now, great goal from Milik. I'm not sure whether Sanogo can bench him.

He'll be sure to get some minutes tonight if they're still chasing.

 

[Gooner4evah]

Ajax is even worse than I've imagined...

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Ajax is even worse than I've imagined...

They are. Dutch football is at a terrible level, mainly because there is no money. Ajax want to build their team using their youth-system, but it's a simple fact that the best players get drawn to England at a early stage. Now they're losing 2-3 to Rapid ****ing Wien.

Frank de Boer has a lot of learning to do before he can really be considered a potential successor to Arsène Wenger.
