Premier League 2021/22

[SirHarryHotspur]

It's a shame Saints didn't take points off Pool because title race would have virtually been over apart from freak results and we would have had a greater chance of being picked.
Before lockdown we were the third most watched team on TV games , so if Sky want their adverts seen by more people pick Spurs games.

Premier League Viewing Figures

Watching football from our homes is currently the new normal. But how has viewing figures changed and who is the Premier League's most watched team on TV?

I don't get why they don't make an exception for the final day and show all games, or at least the one's with something riding on them.

They film them all anyway for international viewers and replays. They aren't on at Saturday 3pm during blackout and there the EFL is into the playoff stages.

If the PL sees fit to allow Amazon or BT to do it on a handful of matchweeks around Xmas surely the PL could allow Sky to on the last day.

They pointed out on aftv -

Arteta 4 transfer windows, a fair few signings, lots of money spent and not a lot of improvement to the squad.

Conte - 1 window, 2 signings and massively improved the squad.

What does/would it solve?

My ex used to get physically angry/abusive towards me because I simply refuse to get angry.

I'll never understand why people actively damage anything just because something hasn't gone their way.

My dad (RIP) marched me to the local boxing club as soon as he noticed I was an angry **** of a kid. Best thing he ever did for me.

There's ways to deal with aggression & anger. Lashing out at others, or inanimate objects is not it!

However, who am I to judge others? I guess we all deal with things in our own way. There is no wrong or right way of doing anything really.

The most puzzling part of all of this Troopz/AFTV thing, is the fact they're all happy to not only film it. But then stick it all over social media for the whole world to see.

They literally don't care, do they?

This is why I love boxing so much. It literally saves millions of lives world wide by giving young people discipline and structure in their lives by getting them off the streets and showing them they can learn and become good at something if they work hard! I remember an interview with Teddy Atlas explaining how he had to fight for funding for his gyms in New York back in the day and all he’d hear back was “Oh brain damage this and brain damage that” such a narrow view to have on a great sport that does so much good!

Surely a PL streaming service makes sense at this point? Stream whatever games are not selected for Sky/BT and stream the 3pm KOs.

Their answer will be that it effects attendances at smaller clubs that's been the ruling so far but in the case of this Sundays Norwich game if it's not on Sky I can see no reason why Spurs can't show it on our big screens because only our fans will want to go to the stadium and pay to watch.

EFL chair open to ending 3pm blackout

Any decision will depend on the next rights cycle in 2024

compare that to 2018/19 table https://thefishy.co.uk/leaguetable.php?table=1&season=16


Were slightly closer to Man C , that's encouraging.

So we need Everton to lose tonight in order that they need to go to Arse on Sunday needing a result, just in case something should go wrong for us at Norwich .

A draw would be fine too I think

I think it is a slippery slope towards clubs taking it in house and streaming their own games. It is what all the American owners want because they know it is where the biggest revenues lie and fuck the little guy. With the introduction of one more you can bet it will be on the next PL agenda soon because it will be one area Boehly will be looking at where revenues can be easily increased.

It would be the end of the PL as we know it as a competitive league. The reason it is so good is because of the equal spread of TV money.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Probably but a Leeds win at Brentford on Sunday plus the Burnley results could still put Everton in danger

 

[Scot-Spur]

If Everton draw they will still need something on the final day. They would go to 37 points with Leeds on 35, Burnley sit on 34 before tonight’s game.

Sorry I meant an Everton draw tonight would be good for us, not them ?

 

[markt]

I am hoping Burnley lose tonight. Think Sean Dyche was hard done to, but we usually perform better against Leeds than we do Burnley, so would much rather Leeds stay up.

I think Everton have already done enough.

My fault mis-read the meaning , Everton draw still leaves them needing to be careful but does depend on what Burnley do tonight.

I think we all would like Everton to have to get something away at Arsenal on Sunday. If Everton win tonight and are safe their players will effectively be on holiday and get smashed on Sunday at Arsenal. It is bad enough they are playing on Thursday night whilst Arsenal get 3 days extra rest as it is.

Giving Arsenal too much credit here.

 

[Partizan]

Hopefully Everton lose tonight if only for the sake of adding to the final day relegation drama, which is the only thing that would interest me from their match against Arsenal.

Can't imagine Sky and BT would be happy with that. How many viewers would they lose because of that? If they're getting fewer viewers they'll offer less for future TV rights and the PL's not going to do anything that'll harm its TV deals.
