I was listening to the game on BBC Radio and commentating was Pat Nevin, he was so bias towards Chelsea that I've decided if I for whatever reason go on a murderous rampage we will be my first victim, stealing a fucking wage the rat.

It's a Uefa rule not a Sky rule as they don't want it clashing with the CLAny supporter that detests moden football should boycott Sky. Regarless if Spurs fan or not. Note, we lost because we played on Thurs and the Chaves had a break. This is a direct result of Sky TV coverage. All CL games and EL games should be played together on the same nights, Tues and Weds, NEVER Thurs.
No idea whats going on with the TV deals but ive said previously to people that if sky took the europa they'd plug the arse out of it and peoples perceptions would change.I am fascinated to see how Sky deal with the loss of the Champions League to BT.
Any narrative about the Top 4 across a season essentially promotes a league for which they hold no broadcast rights.
When we beat Chelsea 5-3 the result was second or third headline story, because it was a BT Game...that will be replicated time & time again. I think that will hit Champions League hard long term in UK.
yes, then the football back to shity 80s/90s, and all the good footballers go to spain or somewhere elseI don't agree with the commentator pundit victim card. That's embarrassing.
We should all boycott SKY though yes - not just Tottenham. Personally have never subscribed. However even if you go to a pub you are paying for it indirectly through the pubs vastly more expensive public license.
Without the SKY subscriptions the TV money stops. The kick off times revert back. The player wages would stop being quite so ridiculous. It would be beautiful to see but sadly for everyone taking an ethical stand there are 1,000 nouveau chumps salivating at the thought of watching Chelsea v Man City at 4pm on a Sunday.
Because of TV money?It's a Uefa rule not a Sky rule as they don't want it clashing with the CL
They've actually stopped rearranged PL games being on the same day as CL games. TV does fuck up fixtures and they don't a shit about travelling fans but they aren't the ones that pay players too much.Because of TV money?
The high levels of migrating football players is detramental to English football. Its made english football worse than it was back then. English football dominated Europe then (thats why we were banned). For me, the PL is not what we all believe it to be. Just because the Chaves / MC or Utd dominate it doesnt mean they have an abundance of high quality player. We have lost out big time and Sky are part of that problem.Im aware that uefa really want a super league (CL) in disguise, Sky supply the finace?yes, then the football to shity 80s/90s, and all the good footballers go to spain or somewhere else
and we all play hoof long boring shit because the good players all gone to earn more money from other league
TV revenue is hugh, directly it finances clubs. The CL brand is hugh and you have to be part of it to reap the finacial rewards. This money pays top wages. Sells shirts etc... Sky are directly involved with the manipulation of this great sport, changing the was it was. CL , were are all the champions?They've actually stopped rearranged PL games being on the same day as CL games. TV does fuck up fixtures and they don't a shit about travelling fans but they aren't the ones that pay players too much.
Champions League will get next to no coverage on Sky from the end of May onwards, it will be premier league or bust for them.

For me, regardless of this result. I have boycotted Sky since back to early 90s. since then, I have never given in to Sky and given them my hard earn cash. Its not sour grapes for me, its good honest boycott.Sour grapes ?
We lost to a better team that will beat us 9 times out of 10,
for at least as long as they are bankrolled.
Did our owner even turn up to watch ?
Sky/Murdoch have always been evil and should
be kicked out.
