I've enjoyed the Optus coverage. Cheaper than Foxtel, all games available, go back and watch them whenever you like.
Completely agree! Coverage was great, no issues with the fetch box at all.. just with the team i was predominantly viewing! Pre game shows excellent, straight out of the UK and weekly shows keep you up to date. Foxtels hosts ie Bozza, Slater and co are muppets, rather hear the ex premier league stars opinions and analysis as you get with Optus.
Extra shows are good, but the Fetch box mini is hopeless compared with Foztel, as it has no record capacity. Unless you have optus internet ( which we cant) you are stuck with the mini for $20 pm next season.

I do hope Optus employ a decent graphics person next season, the standard this season was absolute rubbish, especially for those of at a certain age.

Terrible fonts, print size and poor choice of background colours made it hard to read, even on a massive big screen TV.
The older I get the better I was.

I agree, my greatest fear when watching football on tv is the font they use. :lol:

It will be interesting to see how they go in the first game - against Tottenham at home.

Got bad vibes about Arsenal this year, a feeling of doom that won't go away.

Doubtful to be right on the last day of the 2017/18 season IMO. I doubt they will even be in the top 4.

I assume you do it, as it's easy to do. As soon as things gets complex, you are out of your depth.
I am disappointed but not shocked to see you still have no grasp of grammar.

Liverpool with the same defensive frailties as last season, Chelsea still going around kicking everyone, but must have forgotten to slip the ref the envelope.

Gonna be a fun season :wink:

Couldn't believe my eyes how they "defended" corners. Basically left the keeper on his own in the six yard box, "zoned" defenders static around him and virtually two conceded by this brainwave idea alone.
Rusty game despite the 3-3 score, but some good aspects and really should have won, but 37 games to go, so....

Huddersfield top (so far). Big day for swanny after South's win.
