Erm, they tried and were blocked by the Monopolies & Mergers Commission. That's kinda why this is a strange move by BT.
Yeah, but this is completely different.

Sky tried to buy us and were blocked. But we had enough of a relationship with them to produce MUTV.

Bt Sport will put a few shows on about Man City a week. If they make similar deals with clubs like Everton, Newcastle and perhaps Fulham, Swansea, Cardiff, etc they will have done a great bit of business.

So why did you bring it up? :lol:

I was merely commenting on your "Who are we to talk" bit.
 
Anyway, what was Sky's ownership percentage of MUTV? 50%? I really cant get worked up about this. It's just because they dont have an MCTV, instead they are giving BT access. It's just the equivalent of MUTV but on BT. Really cant be bothered.
wikipedia said:
When it was formed, the channel existed as a three-way joint venture between Manchester United, ITV plc and BSkyB. On 16 November 2007, ITV plc sold its 33.3% stake in MUTV to Manchester United.[3] BSkyB followed suit on 22 January 2013, making MUTV 100% owned by Manchester United.[4]
 
Jake Humphries is doing some very awkward boogy-ing in the background as Primal Scream play live in the studio at the moment
 
Havent been able to get BT Sport online working yet. It's not looking good. The girlfriend is hovering round hoping to go shopping.
 
I've given up on pre match show. David James asking players if they are still growing :/, gonna watch soccer Saturday or first half hour of Leeds v Shef Weds instead
 
The punditry is depressing. Mcmanamananaman not disposed of? All he does is state the obvious.
 
The picture in the online app is GORGOUS. I'm streaming it from my PC to my tv. And it looks incredible. Much closer to HD than Sky Go does.

I am doing the same, will turn over for kick-off, don't mind McManaman to be honest, but was hoping Hargreaves was just for the pre-season. Will be interesting to hear what Tony Pulis has to say if Stoke get stuffed.
 
It's like they're trying too hard to be a bit different but just look like a set of idiots. Surprisingly Pulis is the one to listen to, and the host isn't bad for once. The ex-players though, god help them.
 
Hargreaves coming out with some utter shit
 
I wouldn't have minded that bet365 advert over the top of the prematch if it had been interesting.
 
The feck was that advertisement for Bet 365.
And that full sized picture of the manager next to the team sheets... A definite wtf moment

I hope Moyes at least was suited and booted for his
 
Stoke need a really over the top theme tune when they play at home.

Liverpool starting well.
 
I like how they put closeups in a little screen in the corner rather than make you miss parts of the game. Should be law for everyone to do that.
 
Quite like the little camera box they have in the corner to show manager's reactions etc. Get's round our 'show us the bloody game' problem.
 
I got a weird popup asking for my username and password, but I just ignored it and BTsport is continuing to play fine.
 
Interesting feature with Mark Halsey on the touch line, I think it will bring some good debate to some dodgy decisions.
