Football Focus

[Annasfield]

Happy Christmas fellas. Have a good one and don't enjoy the football too much (this does not apply to Sharon, Keef, Matthew and Lard (actually - Ratty can enjoy it too)).

[????]

oi, they've got us boxing day

[ratty]

If we are still around!

OK so I wanted to watch Leicester v Sheffield Utd live on Sky on Saturday but the Box has died and Sky cannot fix it before next week. I am looking at watching the game online instead. Does anyone have any advice or warning about what software is safe/reliable/dangerous to download for this? They all seem to be Chinese...

What about Skyplayer? http://skyplayer.sky.com/vod/page/default/home.do

Simon, we currently have a spare box which we could loan you. It was in my son's room but he's now connected to Virgin. What I'm not sure about is if it will work for you. I guess you would have to put your card in the slot.I don't know if there are likely to be any other problems. You're welcome to try. I will pm you my number if you want to collect it. We do want it back though as I may change from Virgin in the future.

Let me know.

[Bluerevolution]

That's a point, spare box here to

Simon, if worst comes to worst and you have to try on-line links, this is about the most reliable. Day subscription costs ?2 and you may have to download a viewer, but better than iraqigoals.net. Good luck.

Thanks for the generous feedback and kind offers! I simply had not thought of Skyplayer and have now signed up with it. I'll actually be paying Sky less for the first 6 months than I do currently too!

Now if only we can win the damn game!

[????]

Have you actually signed up or loaned it from Declan or in fact his son? These contracts are important....Sky could get you on an outrageous technicality 'cos they are greedy b*stards who are crap.......

[Narnia]

I think Skyplayer is an online facility......you have access on the internet.Am I right Simon?

[SimonM]

Correct..signed up online myself as already have Sky+ and both sports and film packages.

[Narnia]

Is it free on line if you have all of the above?

[SimonM]

No...?10 a month for 1st 6 months, then ?15 I think. But for that of course you get a lot more than just live football.

Pompey on the edge of an abyss and one nil down at Upton Park. I hope we're noy looking at another Accrington Stanley, it would be a black day for football.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Chavski & Spuds draw, good results for the Arsenal. We've got to do our bit tomorrow and I've got my tcikets for the game, can't wait.

[kpc]

Enjoy Atila. Speaking from a completely unbiased point of view, it's about time somebody gave the V*le the sound thrashing they thoroughly deserve.

[SimonM]

Well for the record Sky Player is total rubbish! I naively hoped for something of BBCiplayer standard but oh dear!!!

[kpc]

Er, is that a comment on the Sky Player's performance or the Blades? Though you have just sneaked a goal.

[SimonM]

Sky Player of course! Horrible jerky image whichever option I try.

We played awful in the 1st half but think we should have got a point....

Yes atila it will be interesting to see if arsenal can take advantage tomorrow. Hope so, but villa will be big test.

Well they won easily in the end and won going away - very much in the hunt now. Need a strong Jan / Feb.

[Atila Reincarnate]

We won at a canter, Villa got exactly what they deserved, NOTHING. All 11 players behind the ball, and tried to hit long balls for Heskey and then Carew. God help them if they get in to Europe, they'll get embarassed. Are they really pushing for 4th spot. God they were shite. Tommy V is Tony Adams reincarnate, Song is top quality and Cesc, well what can you say..and only 22!
