Pre-season Football 2011/2012 Season

Right well, not exactly a game you can take much out of given everyone's not played in a couple of months and more subs were made than an international friendly, but there were some decent touches and we kept a clean sheet.

Shame all of ours are on MUTV. I was hoping for at least one on Sky Sports or ESPN.

Luckily for me they're on ESPN, DVR already set in case I'm not at home this evening :cool:

Joey Barton won't be going on Newcastle's pre-season tour of America as he can't get a visa

Has he tried Mastercard?

Sorry

SSN keep saying Arsenal's game was on ESPN but when I switched it on they were showing Liverpool :confused:

Gooner14 · 13 Jul 2011 at 17:14

I thought it was only being shown online, which Arsenal's website confirms.

I think they are repeating it on ESPN tonight.

Why the SSN promiting ESPN??

explicit4u · 13 Jul 2011 at 18:15

To get sky subscribers to add ESPN to their package!

Robert1986 · 13 Jul 2011 at 19:09

MUTV is free to air just now.

Its only free to air today. The game is on at 1am tomorrow and that isn't free. Its only £6 a month. I pretty much watch MUTV all the time when there is nothing else on.

Dennis Law and Fergie are on right now. Really good programme this.

You can stream them online for £4 a month. Which I am tempeted with.

Little known fact, Sky paid the vast majority of the cost of the 'package' ESPN purchased from the PL.
ESPN's UK branch is pretty much just another part of BskyB, much like BskyB is basically part of the Murdoch empire (in all but official capacity )

I have just paid the £4 a month to watch it online and the piece of **** windows drm is making me want to literally murder someone. I cant get it to work and it won't stream on a mac. Absolute *****. And they wonder why people pirate media when they have such ridiculous barriers to legitimate means of watching streaming content.

Shamikebab · 14 Jul 2011 at 00:37

Bah I can't stay awake, too tired. Will watch the goals tomorrow

Yeah mate tell me about it! I sat for 5 mins and nothing happened. Thankfully I had boot camp partition installed. Booted into that and it went fine.

fez · 14 Jul 2011 at 00:52

Nope, bootcamp is giving me a whole load of **** because my DRM is linked to the hardware and I have upgraded the ram and hd since installing windows 7. I have tried all the guides to fix it but nothing. God I hate microsoft. Im pretty competent with windows and only stopped using it about 2 or 3 years ago but I have no idea how the average user would fix this.

On my travels to fix it all I found were more users pulling their hair out. Argghhhh! There is just no excuse for it in this day and age.

Our first game of the pre-season about to kick off

Team: Lindegaard, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Fabio, Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Young, Rooney & Berbatov.

Turf on top of astro-turf is bad as a footballing surface, kills the ball constantly hard to get any quick passing.

0-0 half time, plenty of changes for Man Utd though.
