Who won the US Open rights? That'd be the only reason I'd want a tennis channel.

Eurosport I think.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Sky and BT have announced the first batch of live games.

Arsenal v Leicester kicks off the new season on Friday 11th August at 7.45pm, then Watford v Liverpool is the 12.30pm Saturday start.

Brighton host Man City in the evening BT game, before Newcastle-Spurs and Man Utd-West Ham make up Super Sunday.

Chelsea the first defending champions since 2003 to not have their opening game televised...because Burnley, I guess.

(Not that I care - I'll be at the game, after all.)

You'd think a club would be able to run a members ticket sale in 2017. 

Nah...not Liverpool. Website issues on Tuesday for members with 13+ games

Wednesday I was put in a queue for 4 hours for members with 4+ games (arsenal, United, Chelsea and Everton) didn't get a ticket.

Today it's the free for all of any member trying to buy a ticket for any remaining games up to January. In a queue for 7 minutes...error message, end up in a queue for 10 more minutes...error message. Get put in a queue for 2 hours and I did not get a single ticket. 

It's a fucking shambles that you have to pay 30/40 quid to be a member in order to get a chance to get tickets on a system that is broken and has been for years that the club will never addreess  

Those credits I built up last season are now pointless and it's gonna be pot luck that I can get anywhere near that number and that'll affect my ability to get tickets next season etc. 

Just needed to vent...

You should support someone shit, I paid on the day last season for home games and could sit in any one of about 200 seats free once I'd walked into the stadium

Rooney scoring a blooter in Tanzania.

I do hope he absolutely smashes it this season, top goalscorer in the Prem, gets back into the England squad, scores a hat trick against Germany in the final of the WC, lifts the trophy and gets the golden boot... to boot.

If it's like most football stadiums it'll still be shite.

Well Man City's was pretty good when I was last there. In any case, it'll be better than nothing.

[Lineker]

We better have it at the new Lane; it's atrocious there at the minute.

 

Former England and Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has announced his retirement.

There's an easy joke there about the emptyhad so there's gonna be less people trying to use the Wi-Fi 

[Gazz]

It's in their interests, better wi-fi means more people can get in on the hashtags.

[MDK]

I remember the days when you had to use a little portable radio to get the results during matches, now all the kids are using their wifi and watching cat videos during matches. 

[Colly]

I often bemoan the horrible phone signal at SJP, but to be honest I'd happily live without WiFi.

I love the new Sky Sports channels - I can hide all golf!

I do like the fact it's been split into set categories as it'll be easier to find what you want, but the pricing is no better however they word it.

[Lineker]

They ran an ad this morning that made it sound as if you can opt out of certain channels?
