I’m not going to say that I do it but there are IPTV options that are very inexpensive and allow you to watch games from anywhere in the world.
I've thought about it, and I've looked at Fubo too. But truth be told, if I have MLS and MLB, everything else is extra. I'm able to get the ESPN player to work well enough to watch Stuttgart and the rest of the Bundesliga too. Everything else is gravy.
When the announcers at halftime say “the boos would be louder but most fans already left” you know it was an ugly game for the home side.
What happens at Man City has absolutely nothing to do with us. Why would them struggling cause us to struggle?
CFG runs us. If they are in disarray it could trickle down. Also ownership groups get tired of their playthings when they aren’t fun any more or have maxed their value, and move on. Or management decides to flee/outstays its welcome/dynasties end and the are replaced with new management. It’s less likely with CFG because they won’t run out of money and sportswashing is a long term project, but it happens.
You're talking from a business standpoint? I would think they have more strategic thinking than that, but I suppose it's possible. I actually think it's more likely that a season like this intensifies their desire to win and makes them overspend on players to put Man City back at the top of the table. This ownership group doesn't have a lot of experience with a season like this, and I get the sense they will want to get back to the top as fast as possible.
The EPL reddit is looking at things through the lens of hatred for that club and aren't being objective. City have an aging squad, numerous injuries and players with insane amounts of minutes on their legs from so many competitions. They've won four league titles in row, a UCL and reached numerous other finals along the way. (Side note: I also believe Peps style of managing wears players down. It's so intense. His final years at clubs have always been "subpar" for his standards, but I have no evidence of that.) These players are just gassed. A bad spell was bound to happen and people are excited to just pile on because they've been chomping at the bit for years to mock city fans. They finally have the ammo. Two months of bad soccer doesn't mean that CFG is about to explode. Silly to think that.
