    You all probably won't think this is funny, but someone might enjoy it/the comments as much as me.

    I’m going to predict each team will play every other team twice, home and away.

    Gonna go with definite BS because I saw one yesterday with Chelsea v Wolves as an opening weekend fixture.

    Nothing is going to be right until the 14th.

    Well I think it is a big deal in that it’s a new, deep-pocketed broadcaster that is interested in rights, which in turn is probably good for viewers and definitely good for the FA

    call me old fashioned, but I really hope streaming services don't buy up all the broadcasting rights for live sports.

    As a current base cable package subscriber but with Netflix/Amazon/Hulu logins from friends/family... yeah, gotta disagree.

    I have netflix and amazon as well (not hulu), but I'd still rather pay for the quality and dependability I get with cable when it comes to live sports.

    like I said, feel free to call me old fashioned but I don't want to watch sports on a lag or with a picture that gets fuzzy from time to time.

    UGA/UA National Title game on ESPN streaming was a nightmare. I had to watch the "homer" broadcast to get one that wouldn't buffer

    Does anyone even like replays? Always a pain in the ass. It's pretty much a tournament, play by tourney rules and go to extras/penalties.

    it's pretty cool when a small side earns a replay on the road against a big club.

    Its better than playing them from say October until late December. Peps teams always dominate that part of the season.
