Great result!

Will take that. Dont play, still stay 6th and dont lose ground on Chelsea

 

[paxtonwolf]

Is that the first time Sky have shown ads during the match?

I assume that's a one-way thing and there's no going back now.

We just switched channel and then back

1 point ahead of Utd with two games in hand. Puts us in a great position.
fudging gooners getting tomorrows game cancelled, would've given us a really good idea where we stand.

Arsenal then Leicester then Chelsea in a week would have been tough with our depth of squad and a few injuries. 4 points from the next 2 games would put us in a stellar position

And if it is to be 4pts as opposed to 6. I'd rather the draw be at leicester

They’ve always heavily advertised Sky - are they advertising other brands too new?

They cut away to an ad break when there was an injury at the end of the match

Reminds me of that time American broadcasters proposed four rathter than two halves in a football game, to make more room for advertising. Think it might've been in connection with the 94 WC.

Which in turn reminds me of the time I tried to watch some eggball on TV, which was basically just the occational footage of big guys standing around on an astroturf field in between endless advertising segments.

Total waste of time.

They'll need to do something to mollify advertisers if big games keep getting postponed.

Ugh. Hate that.

On some overseas channels they reduce the size of the picture to allow an L-shape frame to show ads and drop a spinning logo into the bottom right corner.

Very distracting from all the footage of the bench, the crowd, the officials and endless replays.

And Agent Rafa is no more.

Have a few months rest and then off to Saudi Sportswashing Machine

Everton - the Tottenham of the North

Everton - the Tottenham of the North

We're not quite at their level yet. Maybe after a few more poor windows...

 

[Glenda's Legs]

Leeds giving West Ham a game. 3-2 up now with half an hour to go.

 

[paxtonwolf]

WHU 2 Leeds 3

This has been a great game tbh

 

[Jordinho]

Hopefully Leeds have enough left in the tank to see this out.

 

[paxtonwolf]

So nearly 4-2/ Unlucky with that free-kick
