I find it hilarious that the Police go after the guys who sell illegal firesticks for streaming yet the law ignores the fact Sky and BT have been f****** sports fans for years now. 

The cost to subscribe has gone up and the content quality has plummeted at the same time. Hopefully the little guys win and Sky sports end up losing more rights.

I won't sub again because it's too expensive. But I won't hold criminal enterprises up as the saviour of Football fans, although I'd go illegal for a city stream if I had to.

The EPL have much to answer for as they are the ones that hold Sky to ransom, and Sky's operating model depends on landing PL rights.

The only way there is a major reset is when Sky go bust and no-one is prepared to pay ridiculous amounts for the PL rights.

But with Amazon and Apple sniffing around I don't see things getting that much better.

Being reported in the telegraph that Peter Drury will replace Martin Tyler at sky sports.

Sky like to promote from within, it also wouldn't surprise me if they don't have an outright number 1 going forward and spread the big games around their current group.

Besides, given that part of this is down to cost-cutting, they're unlikely to recruit a big name from outside.

Yeah, ignore that.. 

Very good signing by Sky.

Signing of the Summer. Drury is by far the best out there. Finally Sky make a good decision for once.
