Quick question on DAZN. How are you guys getting the best results? Wifi to Chromecast was a mess. The PS4 is marginally better. Maybe I need a smart TV?

I get the best result on Apple TV. I find the quality on my smart TV to be terrible and buffers constantly but others I think have better success. The platform for DAZN on my smart TV is also really frustrating. Apple TV is very good, pretty much no issues with the HD quality on it and it’s far more user friendly. It’s pretty decent on the IPad or IPhone as well. Still, not too happy with having to pay extra for it. Especially considering they don’t carry much that I already don’t have outside of the Champions League.

Yup I figured this was the case, didn’t know it was that bad tho. He’s been getting a pass for how well they’ve done domestically but he hasn’t been able to succeed in the CL without Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Co. You can’t take all the credit away from Pep, but those teams could coach themselves. The De Bruyne decision blows my mind really, why play him vs Brighton and not just save him for at least 70 minutes in the CL quarters. I can understand going with Aguero, but that’s another guy whose coming off an injury and is notoriously bad in knockout tournaments. I think Aguero is a tremendous player, but holy hell has he sucked ass for both City and Argentina in knockout phases. He turns invisible.

Imo he should’ve kept Jesus in and went with De Bruyne over Fernandinho.

Best way to watch DAZN is hardlined, works 100% perfectly for me that way. Wireless works mostly fine but can have some buffer issues.

I will be at the Johan Cruyff Arena for, what I think, Ajax' last game of this Champions League season. (but what do I know, I'm a 'glass is half empty' guy when it comes to my favourite sports teams)

The fact that we play the same style for over 5 decades now, and we always find new ways to make a name for ourselves in the world makes me a proud fan.
I was lucky enough to see the '94/'95 Ajax team dominate the world.
After money beacme the most important factor in the chances of winning the Champions League I accepted the fact that I will never see a repeat of 1995 again.
If this years run continues after tonight; great. If not, I'm happy and proud of this great club.

Oh good, I was hoping Mctominay & Fred would start in the mid.

This must be how Babyface asks for budget.

Wow...that is a Bus-Parking lineup of 'Special' proportions...

McTominay hat trick incoming. Barcelona won't know what hit them.

At the same time this isnt your Grand-Pappy's Barcelona.....actually...yes it is. If United were ever going to defeat Barca now would be the time.

[Bagor]

Normally apprehensive and nervous for games like thus.
Today...I'm worried.

what, are you longing for the Spanish Cleverley?

not that he's going to be around any longer. BBC say he's indeed joining PSG.

[Bagor]

Don't know how that isn't a booking?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Young just got red carded in the PL and within the first five minutes making reckless challenges. Moron.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I mean Suarez was a good yard onside there.

Basque. I want him in over Fred.

Luke Shaw!

[Bagor]

Shaw OG
But Liverpool's favourite racist will try to claim it

[Senator Clay Davis]

Ashley Young actually got a contract extension. Good for him I guess.

[Bagor]

Contact and a dive

[devo22]

so frustrating to think how much money United has spent, and then you watch a game like that and still think to yourself "those center-backs are not good enough. Those full-back are not good enough. And oh god, that midfield is definitely not good enough" ...
