Nah I understand your sentiment but that lineup is far from the best team in the world.

[Wooderson]

Loving the journey.

Clever Jose. Give ole a big win so Utd keep him, and then lose out on Poch.

I'm hoping that I can cast it from my tablet to the TV. I've just checked with a 'normal' Prime video so fingers crossed its the same for the footie.

fucking amazon w*nkers. There was no way to cast from the app. Instead I used my laptop and cast to the TV from that.

The video stalled a few times, but the audio was stuttering all the way thru - nothing that made it unwatchable, just split-seconds when there was no crowd noise.

I mostly get better hooky streams than that.

He was fantastic last night (apart from missing sitters  ), and I'm still drooling over that pass, and yet ...

I'm pretty sure the reason why I'm drooling is because the pass was such a no-brainer, and that I'd spotted it a few steps before Mane made it.

He delivered it perfectly of course, but it didn't take any great vision to make it - so perhaps it wasn't so good after all?

Compare with TAA's pass to Mane for Mane's goal when everyone was expecting the pass to The Cube. That was the unexpected superb pass.

In general I thought the Amazon coverage was fine and liked the highlight feature. I have some concerns however about how streaming all the games could impact on attendances lower down the pyramid.

This will be of interest to those on here:

I watched the City game on Prime last night, thought it was great. I didn't have any issues with the quality or skipping, wouldn't have known it wasn't through Sky. And praise the lord they don't have Martin Tyler, terrible commendation. Peter Drury is fantastic and seems to be Amazon's key commentator.

Oh and they have a setting to turn off the commentary if you want and just listen to the atmosphere in the stadium which I oddly didn't hate as much as I thought I would.

Peter Drury is one of the worst commentators of just about any sport let alone football !

Liverpool could of taken the youth team and won the world club cup, I bet klopps just glad of the warm weather training.

oh I dunno. I'm not much of a fan of Glenn "if that had gone in the net it would have been a goal" Hoddle.

Really? I remember listening to his commentary on Liverpool v Barcelona and then Martin Tyler on the same game.

Felt he properly got across the importance and excitement of his goals whereas Tyler sounded like someone had shot his dog.

For me, Drury has never managed to understand the nuances of tv commentary against radio commentary (which is he actually pretty good at). 
 

Drury is of course, an improvement on Clive Tyldesley

For context whats your take on Tyler?

In comp to current shower, my youth was spoiled by Gubba, Motson, Sinstadt (and especially) Davies.

One we can agree on. Terrible.

My favourite commentator was actually on the radio, the great Mike Ingham.

VAR's gone from terrible to ridiculous tonight at Sheff Utd. 

Actually edited to add I thought I heard a whistle on the tv which I guess the Utd players did too? Still shelvey seemed to be the only one still playing and then asking for VAR.

even worse. Despite the guff he speaks he's described as a pundit and an expert.

I think we can assume that anyone tuning into the game has a smidgen of knowledge of the rules.
