Football

Cool feature: you can turn off the commentary and just listen to the stadium noise

Of which there isn't much

Hello fellow prime subscribers.

It's a bit surreal. Match should be called due to lack of interest.

hope this happens and I can spin by. Move house next day so might be tricky. But call a pub fellas. And let’s see what happens

Rodri’s goal should count for two. Absolute rocket.

I happened to flick over just a few seconds before he hit it and rather ashamedly, in a Ron Manager-esque stylee exclaimed "Pick that one out." I didn't watch more than a minute or two but I'll be watching Spurs tonight - what was the Prime experience like - much of a muchness with any other platform?

Video quality seemed to be better than Sky. One click access to stats and in-game highlights is pretty cool as well. The aforementioned ability to mute the commentary is interesting, I just left the Citeh game on in the background whilst I worked and it was a bit like having one of those nature sound machines. Rainstorm, Night Jungle, Forest Stream, Ethiad Turf Moor on a Tuesday, Calm Waves, etc.

Wasn't it at Burnley?

Very little commentary when it's on.
I thought Jesus looked great.

Yikes, it was. I was distracted and disinterested, and uh

Initially I was "typical city, no fans blah blah blah". Then I was like "this ground looks a bit shorter than I remember the ethiad....oh"

Anyway. Prime. Video quality great. Commentary dire (but it all is).
Revealing I'm paying bezos to run slave camps, bit awkward. Been meaning to unsubscribe.

Surprised at the enthusiasm for Amazon. Horrendous mob.

I'm happy that Sky and BT are being undermined. Are either of them worthy of any praise?

Watching and enjoying Premier League football requires overlooking certain principles we might otherwise hold dear.

1 - Ru (either date)
2- cliveo (11th only)
3 - chalfie (either -both will take a monumental amount of planning. Thursdays are easier)
4 - jonny (either date at this point)
5 - andyp (either date)
6 - sheriff Blackfoot (would prefer 10th as spurs may have a do or die game vs Bayern on the 11th)
7 - ramsaye (please send vconf details)
8 - dst (might come, might not)
9 - Clever Pun (love a list)
10 - middleofnowhere (would prefer Wednesday in a pub with no WiFi)
11 - Marky - as long as it's the 11th

Missed it live. Banked some TV privilege rights for Spurs v United this evening.

Whilst watching on Prime last night I did manage to divert off to the stats and shit at half time and then watch the first ten minutes of the second half on delay as it didn't jump back to live when you came off the stats.

I'm viewing this as the beginning of the end for football. Proof that streaming multiple games works and is easy. Next step will be clubs taking on their own rights and selling online season tickets and one-off games. Big teams will get even more money, small teams less, the Premier League will be even less competitive, interest will drop off, all the teams will get less money, all the best players will go to China. We'll be back to trips to the Shay on wet Tuesday nights.

Undermined by a company that:

• pays no tax
  
• systematically undermines workers rights
  
• squeezes SME suppliers until the pips squeak
  
• is being investigated by competition authorities around the world for abuse of market dominance
  
• is the archetype of concentrating wealth in the hands of the 0.0000000001%
  
  

BT & Sky might not be perfect. but Amazon is the most socially destructive and egregious company on the planet.

I'll agree that Amazon are dicks and move on.

But did you know this forum takes/makes money from Amazon?

a penny in murdochs pocket is a penny too much

pays no tax

I'd be aiming your ire over this towards the governments who permit Amazon to get away with this tbh. Not many companies of any size choose to pay more tax than "necessary". I know they're the biggest and do it the most but its a systemic problem rather than Amazon being worse at it than anybody else.

I think various governments are delighted that Amazon get the blame rather than the scrutiny being pointed in the right direction.

Amazon are a nearly unavoidable trading partner - that is the problem!

I've boycotted them as a consumer for the last four years but I suspect you couldn't exist if you also tried to boycott any organisation that transacts with them. For example, TFL, the Met Office and the Ministry of Justice all use AWS.

The depths of my hatred for Amazon are unfathomable - I like to try and transmit that to as many others as possible!

^^ Just did a little fact check. In the US, 258 of the 500 companies in the fortune 500 pay between 0% and 15% tax. The US has a corporation tax rate of about 30%, depending on a few factors.

Don't hate the players, hate the orange twat in the Whitehouse who has recently made it even easier for corporations to act like this.

I think it’s perfectly reasonable to hate both Trump, and all he stands for, and Amazon and their business practices.
