2018/19 Premier League

[Senator Clay Davis]

DAZN is like any streaming service, everything in their library is available on demand. The news they got the PL is old, but is great since they now have basically everything but Bundesliga.

Is SN going to pump BL to fill the void or will their football coverage just disappear?

Some people aren't fond of DAZN, but I quite like it. Good quality, reliable, good interface, lots of stuff live and on demand.

This year I am spending $150/year for DAZN, and another $190/year for iFollow, just so I can legally watch every Norwich game. With promotion very nearly official now, I'll be getting every game live with proper TV production quality, and saving $190.

Add in all of the Serie A, La Liga, Champions League, Europe League, etc. etc. and some random things like KHL hockey, and it is already pretty good value. I wonder if they'll jack the price with the Premier League coming on board? And if you're an NFL fan (I'm not), they carry all of those games live as well.

I have long been annoyed that Sportsnet would put the odd Premier League game exclusively on SN World, presumably to try and justify their absurd price to content ratio of that ripoff channel. Foreign owners be damned - at least we can now get every single match, live and on demand, for one fair price. It is 2019, after all.

Yeah there are some positives to this for sure. I will cut SN World, and won’t miss that. I think that DAZN has a good product, but I do find the production value lacking a bit. Like their commentators aren’t that good and I find I have issues with buffering that are just frustrating. I watched yesterday on a delay because I couldn’t get a chance until later and that’s awesome, because the game is there when you want it. But it was over and done with and I had the buffering and lagging and that’s just terrible.

But yeah, no more SN and a single price for all of it is awesome!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Their commentators not being good is an understatement lol. I swear sometimes they aren't even live at the venue, it sounds like they are just in a home studio calling the action they are watching on TV. Like with the NFL surely they could just use the default broadcast crews, pretty sure UCL and UEL have a default English announce crew anyone can use.

As far as what happens with Sportsnet now, I wonder how long Sportsnet World will survive given how overpriced it was to begin with, especially since I'm sure many just had it for the extra PL game every week. I can't imagine Premiership Rugby, Bundesliga and FA Cup are pulling that many subsciptions. Maybe we see Bundesliga more on regular Sportsnet since they've already paid for the content, more than likely we'll start seeing even more NHL, and Jays/Raptors in 30 reruns instead.

Bruno Genesio is leaving Lyon. Have to think he'll land a PL job next season, he was already linked to Newcastle a few weeks ago (with Rafa's status up in the air).

[Locke]

Fulham!! Ahahahaha!!!

[devo22]

Southampton winning 3-1 against Wolves probably seals Cardiffs fate. Super happy for Ralph Hasenhüttl, he's done a great job with the Saints. Brighton is still in danger after getting hammered 5-0 at home against Bournemouth, but they face Cardiff at home on Tuesday and could put the final dagger in.

[Senator Clay Davis]

West Ham might put the dagger in United's top four hopes. Ole did well to turn the season around, but overall that squad is not that great. Probably need a good £200 million in investment this summer.

[SuperMatt18]

West Ham probably deserved better.

2-3 great chances prior to giving up that penalty

Are you streaming with a wired or wireless connection? It is still early days for them so a wired connection may be a workaround for a bit while they find their legs.

[devo22]

yeah we had issues when they started over here a couple of years ago, but they improved pretty quickly. Wireless is no issue for me (both PS4 and laptop), but a wired connection might help if you have issues.

I absolutely love DAZN. It sucks that they lose the EPL rights over here next season because Sky recently bought them back. Stupid Sky, I wish that company would just die already. It'll be back to some Russian streams for me because I will never ever pay those asshats another Euro.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I probably should have bumped the UCL thread, but what do you know, Man City have two goals from two wonderful passes from...De Bruyne and Sane. Almost like they're world class and leaving them on the bench until the 89th minute is dumb.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Jesus clearly offside on that goal. PL officials and linesmen really aren't good.

Jesus is never offside. Wherever Jesus is...its onside.

Dont make him walk on water! He loves that trick!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Obviously he's out for next Saturday's match, only back available next Sunday.

[Locke]

Sadio 'The Man' Mane!!!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well with that I think Liverpool are going to finish with 97 points, Wolves the only game left that should be any sort of problem. So City probably have to win out to keep the title.

[Locke]

I'll take it.

Rotate heavily against Spurs midweek and go strong against them on the weekend? It’ll be interesting to see how Pep prioritizes this.
