Premier League 18/19

Yeah, that's a big part of it. I was surprised that Everton's opening match of the season v Wolves was on regular ol' NBC. But a lot of their matches are Gold-only, yes. NBC has also committed to having at least... two?... of the Big Six's matches be exclusively on Gold throughout the season.
I think they like to show all of the promoted teams 1-2 times early in the season.
 
Does anyone here subscribe to the EPL pass thing on NBCsports online? Is there a way to get a list of every match they carry? I've been working Saturday's 8.30-6 since March so it definitely wasn't worth it for me but I'm changing jobs very soon so I might want to look into it..
I subscribe, as well. If it airs on a broadcast network, it’s not on Gold, but it is available in real time on regular NBC Sports Live. Any match that doesn’t air on broadcast is on gold.

Additionally, you get access to replays for what wasn’t on gold. I think it’s usually 24 hours, though.

If you just want City games live, probably not worth it, as you can certainly get good streams on reddit. If you have other reasons, then it probably is.

I have to say, the quality of the gold streams are excellent.
 
I’ve mentioned this a few places in the past, but Egypt is so messed up. Lots of drama has been going down between Mo and them.

He’s in a precarious position, trying in many ways to wage a political battle using the EFA as a straw man.

I fear for the guy, frankly. It’s only a matter of time until the pot boils over it seems.

All I want to do when I see this forum with new posts, is to find a link that ManU has sacked Jose unceremoniously using a tweet, and in a fit of denial and rage he’s escorted to the door.

Bunch of teams I'm semi interested in so not really for City though I am hopefully moving in a bout a month and thinking of cord cutting.

Cord cutting for real or using an internet tv provider?
 
Yedlin with a beauty verse City

Edit: BTW, if anybody cares why Yedlin scored, it was because he made a full sprint run from the midfield line (NBC showed the full field view) and Jesus was late to realize he had to run with him, while only standing within 3ish meters marking him so pretty tightly considering the ball was across the field, and couldn’t catch up to interrupt the shot. And this is from a guy that plays for his Brazil and starts for MCFC.

Sorry, but if Pep has no problem starting Jesus, the Dome shouldn’t have one with Lewis.

Considering how bad City were when I started following them (In what is now league one) It feels very dirty to not be happy with a 2-1 win but have to feel like their not playing up to potential at this point.

Not sure yet. Should be taking my new Apartment October 1st. My brother down in Atlanta does Youtube TV so might look into that. There are shows I like but other than GOT most of them I could wait till Netflix or other streaming , I generally go to a bar for NFL so Soccer really is the issue here.

As painful as a loss would be, I’m taking the addition by subtraction route and hoping ManU loses another today in a freakishly embarrassingly way so that the BoD has to sack Jose in the morning. Get rid of him now while there’s still time to right the ship.
 
fuckin' hate Arsenal. Bring on Mkhitaryan to play 1 stupid minute which forces my fantasy team to get 1 point instead of using Walker on my subs for 10 points.

I know that feeling, but I have to ask why you'd ever bench a defender as expensive as Walker. If you're investing that much money in a defender they have to be on the field.

I rotated him and trippier thinking trippier would shut out watford and give me lots of points. (*sigh*)
I have Trippier, Mendy, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Walker as defenders and I was trying to play the subs game to have either Lucas Moura or Walker be added in place of a DNP, but then Mkhi decided "oh let me take a minute"

I'm not the most skilled fantasy player, but I did get 50pts this round
 
Wow, is the rest of your team like 4.5 midfielders and forwards? That is an enormous amount of money locked up in your defense.
Rest of my team is
GK: Alisson, Button
Milner - Mkhitaryan - Alli - Neves
Firmino - Tosun
Bench: walker, Lucas Moura, Zaha

I was thinking of dropping Trippier and replacing Tosun with a better forward, but that would be two transfers. so I'm not currently sure what I want to do

Your bench should be 4.0 or 4.5 players who start and get 2 points each week.

You shouldn't have money tied up on the bench. It's not a crazy schedule like MLS so you have a much better sense of who's going to be playing in any given game.

High cost bench players are insurance that is way too expensive.
