E.L.F.

Would rather see Elmander/Hooper where you have Howson.

" Little Jonny Howson, curled in the frame of a bass drum, trembled and crossed himself."LOL, that''s a good one. [Y]

FFS, are you taking the p1ss, WTF would you know about being cultured? The best thing about you is that you''re somewhere else.

At least you ended up in the right country with a gob like that.

Terrible ref overall, but the XI on the pitch were far worse than anything Mike Jones did.

Al, it''s because Anelka was bought to replace a starter, whilst Elmander is not.

[quote user="Number 9"]Is Putin doing the security at home games this season?[/quote] Would definitely solve the standing in the Barclay issue. Maybe they could rename the hotel to the Gulag Inn.

CUSDP, never used photon but puffin seems to do the flash thing pretty well. I think there''s a trial period as well.

You''re spot on Bethnal. In professional sports, there are the have''s and then the rest. The Toronto Blue Jays are owned by Rogers Communications, who just happens to own Sportsnet which broadcasts all the games. The on-line streaming is done by the league, using the clubs broadcaster and then distributes money between all the clubs. There''s an obvious imbalance in MLB but very small teams, like Tampa Bay and Oakland seem to do very well year after year and they usually get 12000-18000 each game but they also play in two of the worst ballparks. That''s why City should not expand Carrow Road. The Winnipeg Jets build a 15000 seat arena knowing that the NHL would return. It is by far the smallest arena in the league but it''s filled every game and a waiting list for season tickets. A 35000 seat Carra might be filled to capacity a few times a season but lots of yellow and green plastic seats for the rest. With a smaller stadium, you will most likely still have the base 25000 stadium supporters and the additional live streaming revenue just makes it sweeter. Laws can be changed and when the 1% say so, it will be changed. We''re looking at buying a flat in NR1, most likely in the new Taylor Wimpey flats when we come next month. I would 100% want a couple of season tickets if we do return home. But it would also be nice to be able to watch a proper stream when we are not in Norwich just as I can with the Toronto Blue Jays.

WOW, just WOW C1. BTW, the game is called ''baseball'', not ''rounders''. As Brit myself, I cringe when the term ''soccer'' is used to descibe our beautiful game. At least North Americans have a reason to use the term ''soccer''. You may want to start listening and learning things, it''s a great way to improve one''s self and judging by your posts, you seems to pretty much lagging behind most people.

As a previous poster said, every match is televised. The viewer though, is at the mercy of which live match the broadcaster wants to show. When I lived in Canada, we would get a chosen live match in a cable package and would have to pay an additional $16.99 a month to have access to an additional live match. Replays of other matches would be broadcast throught the week. Nice. Since gate revenue is only a small part of league revenues, obviously dwarfed by tv revenue, empty seats equate to only. a small loss in revenue. NFL teams could literally play in empty stadiums and still make a profit. Millions of supporters around the world offset empty seats with an online streaming subscription. And for my good friend who cannot understand the concept, even gate driven leagues like the National Hockey League see the value of internet streaming for revenue from Europeans who watch hockey. As you said Jas, I watch the shitty streams like you but I would gladly pay 100 quid to be able to watch any game I want online. The EPL (see what I did there C1) is missing out on a great opportunity to line their pockets even more but it''s their choice, an incorrect one IMO.

Yeah, sorry about that. First post I''ve made on my iphone. Result noted. He''s more than a dinosaur TNB. It''s not too hard to see how this should play out. Will it?, not sure but I assume some of the new American owners might push it forward a little.

WOW, bad iphone formatting but you get the gist.

Boy are you thick C1. This is almost too funny. If you are capable of re-reading my original post and actually use any brain function you might have, one might be able rationalise what was being said. Now, I''ll explain this at your level so please pay attention.. T H E N F L, M L B A N D N H L A R E P R O F E S S I O N A L S P O R T S L E A G U E S W H I C H H A V E A P R E S E N C E A R O U N D T H E W O R L D.

C A N Y O U C O M P R E H E N D T H I S O R D O Y O U H A V E A P E R M A N E N T M A L F U N C T I O N? By the way the Jays beat the Houston Astros 4-0 this evening. If you need help with that, please let me know.

You''re one for the books C1. And by the way, is there such an entity called the Barclay''s Premier League or am I imagining it when I go to premierleague.com? Well, I''m off to watch the live HD stream of the Toronto Blue Jays on MLBtv.com. Imagine that, live HD streaming from Toronto to beautiful St. Lucia. Isn''t technology great?

C1, are you for real? First of all, you thought you were being cute with the reference of North American leagues not being world leagues. They are and that''s why they are the biggest leagues in the world. Their system of allowing supporters around the world access to their product, including merchandising is what makes them the biggest leagues in the world. What part of that don''t you understand? You can watch some dodgy stream for free or you can watch any match in high quality for less than 100 quid for the entire season, which is of course less than the cost of heading to the Carra for two for one match. Golly gee, I wonder how much more revenue is available for PL teams should they go the route of what the biggest sports leagues are doing and provide their product to the majority of supporters who A. don''t live near a team and/or B. can''t afford to go to matches. Lots of empty seats providing ZERO revenue, oh dear, what can we do to create more revenue? Everyone knows that the BPL is soooooooo much different than any other sports league in the world that it cannot possibly learn from their successes. It''s idiotic to be honest, but then again are so many idiots in this world........ .

Settle down sunshine. I know you''re pretty much a git but maybe you should know that the NFL is the biggest and richest sports league in the world with revenues of $9.5 billion dollars a year and MLB at $7 billion. You''ve probably even noticed that NFL owners are buying up our English clubs with pocket change so maybe shut your gob once in while and listen you ignorant prat.

ahem, that should be MLB.tv for $129.00 a season.

Why is it possible for Major League Baseball to create MLBtv and charge fans $129.00 a month to watch every and all MLB games each season, radio and tv streaming. Why is possible for the National Football League to create the NFL Sunday Ticket and charge fans $139.00 for the entire season on tv? Why is it possible for the National Hockey League to create NHL Centre Ice for $180.00 for the entire season on tv? Why do The Winnipeg Jets offer every single home and away game in the Winnipeg market for a cost of $10.00 a month? The Premier League is light years behind the other world sports leagues when it comes to online live streaming for fans. THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE!

I always thought that it''s only an insult when you show the back side of your hand with the fingers raised. Palm showing was the peace sign.

Thanks Tilly, Yeah my brother just told me earlier today, a tad disappointed but I''m sure it''s going to be a blast. Never been to the original, brother said it was brilliant venue. Cheers!

CJ, I don''t think Lambert will get the full Benteke transfer fee for a replacement. And if Lennon keeps up with his farcical high valuation of Hooper, he''s going nowhere.

[quote user="Jan van Chopsburg"]They played the Oval Rock House once as the "Nodding Donkeys", I believe. I used to be quite a fan, but I was a teenager so that was allowed. Snow-wash denim on denim. Yeah, baby![/quote] Seen them a few times in Canada during their prime but nothing beats a live band in a small venue. Looking forward to it.

Oh no, another witticism from the Saskatchewan farmboy.
