That's exactly my point. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean it is 'poor value for money'. Objectively, getting access to numerous radio stations, a back catalogue of TV (in addition to the actual channels) and thousands of web pages, for under 50p a day is a good deal.
I don't use...
Utter tosh. If you can't find 44p's worth of value within the radio, TV (including iPlayer) or website every day (or £13.25 a month), then you're not trying hard enough.
Just yesterday I read a story by an investigative journalist (among many other bits on the website) that was worth the money...
But that's comparing actual transfer fees that have been PAID against each other. Not potential future valuations (which can go up as well as down) verses actual money paid for players, which is what JP did :shrug:
I know. That's why I said inferred – in hindsight it was the wrong word and I should have gone with 'implying'. It sounded like he was taking the value of the Brighton squad and comparing it to the cost of the Grimsby squad, for maximum contrast between the two.
Oh yeah – he was inferring that the team cost £345 million or something! I see what he was trying to do, but you can't just pluck theorhetical figures out of the sky for one team and contrast it with what the other one ACTUALLY cost!
There was another odd moment from JP, when he was banging on about how RDZ wouldn't be happy with all the "showboating" by Brighton players – AKA keeping hold of the ball and passing it about, as per usual, albeit with some "Ole"s from the crowd (and he wouldn't – he'd be delighted to see it) –...
Great coverage apart from the repeated interpretation that Brighton are a "conveyer belt" for players onto bigger and better things.
That's almost every club, surely?
I heard this mentioned by Max and Charlie on Talkshite earlier and I thought they were joking. I quite liked the suggestion of bringing back 'Beautiful Day' from ITV's 'The Premiership' as a one-off in place of the opening theme tune :lolol:
One look at this thread shows that people are divided on the subject!
I don't care about the individuals involved, it's the principle and the actions of the BBC that gets me. Plus the hypocrisy of those who normally froth that the gash about 'cancel culture'.
Which is probably why SSN is making such a big thing about it!
These are crazy times. Never before would 'man not turning up for work' create THIS much of a fuss.
And what has it done? Divide people. Again. Just like Brexit, Covid, immigration, etc etc. Everything is designed to force people...
'The drama at Spurs continues, while one of its famous faces from the past, Gary Lineker was put on the subs bench at the weekend by BBC bosses. I can't say any more about it because, you know, impartiality and that.
Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo had another fantastic game for Brighton. But Leeds...
