So, Foxtel were out bid by Optus for EPL rights ($165M over 3 years), but have paid $346M over 6 years for A League rights. Foxtel CEO has the cheek to say EPL is invisible and A League is "real". I don't mind the A League but seriously champ.

Most of that is for the Socceroos games, Soccer Australia intelligently wrap it up as a package as the A League wouldn't get two empty cans.
A bit less than the money that's paid to the Rugby Union and also less than what the BBL is now valued at.
6th and would be a lot lower without the Socceroos games.

Terrible call by Mason to deny Ibra the opener.
Have battered Boro but still 0-0

Boro went ahead with the sucker punch but Martial and Pogba scored in the final few minutes to claim it 2-1.
Good to see the Chavs extend their streak to 13 aswell

Nice first half at Watford. Spurs up 3-0. We had the breeze/tide though.
Kane 2. Alli 1.

getting up at 2.30 made all that while with the goal of the season contender by Giroud. Everyone should just go and enjoy the beauty of it.

if no one has seen it try this link.

Forgot to add. Giroud has now scored 17 goals in his last 19 matches. Majority of those matches he was a second half substitute and that run also included a stat where he scored 8 goals with only 9 chances.

Goal of the season no doubt.
I have always rated Giroud but he still goes missing in important games far too often

Mike Dean loves the limelight!
He has screwed West Ham unbelievably this game. Red card early on that wasn't there and Zlatan was miles offside to make it 2-0. It's usually us he screws so makes a decent change I suppose

Referee was the difference.

We deserved a point at least from that. Were the better side even with 10 men.

Even the Valencia chance that Randolph clawed off the line would have stood if he didnt, and he was miles offside then too.
