Reguilon is "here we go."
Bale is close but not over the line yet.

Zigs, you a Spurs man?

Life is suffering.  Yes.

Bale is "here we go" now.

Life is suffering.  Yes.

This makes sense since I'm a gunners guy.

Liverpool secures Thiago from Bayern for just over £25MM and sign him through 2024. Excellent bit of business for them. Have to think Wijnaldum moves on to Barca now.  My god the midfield depth the Reds have is stunning. Relatively quiet window for Klopp but this is a thunderclap. Sucks to suck ManU and all their fans clamoring that they would swoop for Thiago.

I don't think Gini goes. With the compressed schedule they desperately need quality squad depth. I'd love some reinforcement at CB while we're at it.

I knew there was some wrong about you.

Nothing screams "we're ready to compete for silverware" like barely squeezing past 9 man Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

There was a third red?

I thought there was but apparently not.  Carry on.

NBC is putting all of their Saturday and Sunday morning games on Peacock this week.  What a farce.

Well, at least I don't have to get up at 6 a.m. Sunday.

After the cost of watching Fulham in the championship last season, $4.99 per month to watch these games live on my actual television seems like a downright steal.

Agreed, though.

Dont understand NBC's decision.  A sport that is gaining popularity rapidly, now relegated to a stand alone streaming service.

And a streaming service that isn't readily available on the two main streaming platforms (Roku and Fire).

Not just a sport, but a production.  I just think they are looking at short term profit at the expense of long-term loss.

I was able to load the app on my TV. I'm assuming most smart tvs will have the Peacock app available.
I will probably pay for the premium access, I paid last year for NBC Sports Gold, so not really any different for me.

It truly is bizarre, cause NBC CRUSHED so much of it from the start.  The way they scheduled and spread out games, Arlo White was a fantastic snag to be their lead voice, their studio show headed by Rebecca Lowe is tremendous, just across the board great production and set up.  The NBC Gold was annoying at first just cause it was so nice to be able to flip through the app and bounce around matches in the early years, but I got it, even if it meant less matches on the lesser NBC networks.  But this is just terrible, and spot on short term profit view like you said.

On top of not being on Roku or Fire, Peacock's interface sucks.

Even when you pay for it, no recording/pausing/rewinding live sports. Stupid.

Update  ... Peacock and Roku reached a carriage deal today

That's good news. I'm assuming that it won't be available for a few weeks.
