That's a decent price if you watch lots of those leagues every weekend tbf.
It is a decent price, but I hate not having a tv channel. It’s such a hassle connecting your laptop to your tv if you want to watch a game. I don’t believe there is an “eleven sports player” ether.

We have a similar thing in the US now where ESPN has an online subscription that's buying up a bunch of rights. They now have the Dutch, Chinese, Australian, Italian top flights, a few Championship matches a week, most MLS matches, and the FA Cup all for $5 a month. They've gone all in on a bunch of niche sports markets (football, boxing, etc.) in an attempt to overcome their falling cable/satellite subscribers.

Cant help but think you guys overpay a lot for entertainment.

Over here in India we get it all for 7k INR per year( about 60 pounds). Thats all the sports and all other entertainment channels in various languages.

Biggest plus for me is every Tottenham game is shown apart from the league cup which no one seems to have the rights to.

I don't subscribe to any TV packages but you'd be looking at probably over £60 a month to get all the sports channels and we don't get any Saturday 3pm games broadcast

It’s this for me, I’m tempted by the price as it isn’t bad but without having a TV channel, or even a decent app to play it through it feels a lot of money for something that isn’t properly set up just yet.

Need to be able to watch it in HD on my TV for me to subscribe to this. Once that's available then £60 for the year is decent tbf £5 a month.

Anyway great come back for Napoli yesterday 0-2 down with about half hour to go and winning 3-2 against Milan. Ancelotti v Gattuso on the bench. It was Milans first game though due to the fixture cancellations.

Juve beat Lazio 2-0 as well, Ronaldo didn't score but got an assist trying to.

Used to watch a lot of Serie A when it was on Channel 4 here in UK.

Can't say I get to watch too much anymore, but would certainly consider an eleven subscription if they could make it accessible via a tv channel.

Milan - Napoli yesterday was fantastic. Milan 2-0 up and then Napoli hit back. Everyone’s talking about inter being the anti-Juve but I think it will still be Napoli. Inter have too many new signings and will struggle for consistency again. Maybe a CL QF though with a favourable draw...given the talent in that squad...

Agree, inter were awful in thier first game. It's going to take a while before they gel. Probably won't see anything from them till the second part of the season at the earliest.

Ex Spur iago falque just laid on an incredible assist for Belotti. Inter currently beating Torino 2-1. Falque has actually managed to have a pretty good career in Italy, inventive little player. A number of the big clubs are starting to circle.

Question about belotti, would he make it at a top team?

Million dollar question that. He is a beast, from a physical point of view he could perform in any league. He's not the most technical striker but excellent at having a touch and finishing, he tends to run through players in Italy. But there lies the rub. It's fantastic if you have an Icardi, Kane, Belotti in your team already but these days those sort of strikers are not in demand by the mega clubs. And only mega clubs could afford him. Everyone wants a forward who is essentially a winger, IE, fast, agile, can pass, dribble as well as score. Saying that Belotti has a lot to his game but in my opinion needs to move. He had a poor goal return last season, 10 goals in 30 something games so that put teams off. So in response to your question, I think he could be a good buy but only for the right team. He's already got 3 goals this season, if he finishes with 25+ goals again he will leave I would think.
