Bit of advice my lovely boy, "watch out for Double Decker Buses" on the pavement in Reading.

WHAT CYCLIST ???
I caught some footage of somebody going flying but getting up unscathed. Thought they were on a bike at the time. It's no biggie.
Also, a NowTV box / account effectively means that you can get access to events on Sky in a 'PAYG' manner.
Handy, low cost and a good compromise if you don't want to give up on Sky, but don't want to commit to the ongoing cost or ongoing support of a Murdoch revenue.
I have Netflix and Amazon prime ( prime pays for itself with Xmas gifts and savings etc ) that alongside Terrestrial TV is enough viewing for me hour or so a night if i'm lucky.
Lets be honest the Premiership is very flat now , dont watch rugby , golf , do like Cricket , but cant see me glued to the TV for hours , and why would I when we have T.M.S. commentators and summarisers on in the garden /allotment with my beer .
Up yours Rupert
Agreed about TMS. I have no problem not being able to watch test cricket but will happily listen for hours on end (if I'm able) to TMS.
I've just cancelled my Sky sports channels and have decided next season to just go to as many City games I can, home and away, and only watch other games on Match of the day.
Love my football but saturation is beginning to take its toll on me.
A very sensible approach , even though its saturation its not great quality, I cope with MOTD 1 & 2 ,Championship radio , and the odd big Premiership /Champions League game down the pub , and as you say watching the City live , much healthy for the mind and belly line ,than then couch .
Doesn't seem a year ago that I was on here after advice and I cancelled sky to get their "come back at a discount" call. Anyway this thread prompted me to check and the offer had lapsed. The buggers had put my bill back up again.
Another call, another threat to leave, bill reduced from £83 to £56 pcm (full package minus movies with HD and multiroom - no broadband). I realise its better to actually cancel to get a bigger discount but its a pain in the arse and Im happyish with the new bill.
There has to be a better way to do business though surely. A yearly haggle wastes everyones time
And so it begins, they cocked up the new deal. Taken me 4 days to get thru to them to cancel again.Doesn't seem a year ago that I was on here after advice and I cancelled sky to get their "come back at a discount" call.

I've actually got to the point where I cant watch a full MOTD. I record it and just flick through.
If I'm not down the City I have 5live on so all the main talking points have already been covered well enough and I don't need some ex players explaining to me what I've just seen. Maybe better pundits are needed.
