@yoyoyo1 you weren't joking about Freddy Adu stunting hard with the TV and movie reviews on twitter. I'm reading his timeline

Arsenal have a midfield that can get Giroud the ball. Our midfield is made up of square pass masters in Cleverley, Andy Carroll Fellaini, and Carrick (at times).

Leave Carrick out of this.

BT Sport was last night on the brink of a stunning victory in the battle for Champions League football after blowing BSkyB and ITV out of the water with a near £1 billion bid for the world’s biggest club competition.

It's official:

BT Sport has announced an exclusive £897m three-year deal which will end two decades of live Champions League football on terrestrial TV.

The broadcaster has won the rights to show all 350 matches each season from 2015 after talks with European governing body Uefa.

Sky mad as fook:

Sky indicated its rival had paid much more than it was prepared to offer.

"We bid with a clear view of what the rights are worth to us. It seems BT chose to pay far in excess of our valuation," read a statement from Sky.

"There are many ways in which we can invest in our service for customers. We take a disciplined approach and there is always a level at which we will choose to focus on something else. If we thought it was worth more, we'd have paid more.

Their Champions League coverage is supoib tbf but fock em.

BT are mad amateurish (their build-up before the Saturday games is terrible) but they'll get better, and I get their channels for free on Virgin so I'm good.

Got my streams ready if prices continue to spiral out of control doe.

Read on twitter the other day that the NBA delay things because they want as many people to sign up for the international league pass. It'll probably be a few more weeks before anything is announced but I'm assuming BT will be all that over that as well

It's just absurd. It'd make waaay more sense to have teams play each other twice a season (home and away) and have just another handful of marquee games throughout the season. The quality of games would be a lot better, less wear and tear on the players and there'd be more hype for the playoffs imho.

I still can't get my head around the idea of back to back games, especially when they're travelling as much as they do.

Basketball is not that physically demanding of a sport.
