You can barely go a day now without a live game being on somewhere so i just thought i'd ask how much do you watch and what do you watch? with the illegal streams etc being available the world really is your oyster.

For me i will watch West Ham games on the firestick home and away and if a get the chance of a ticket away days only i will go see us play.

Live games on sky i do not always watch and tend to avoid the overly hyped big games and when there are three games in a day i may watch one but not always.

Champions league games not for me until maybe the quarter/semi final/final.

i do keep an eye on the lower leagues and if we are not playing thanks to the firestick and if there is a particular fixture that catches my eye i will watch that.

Internationals not interested but of course the world cup is a different matter but otherwise i enjoy the break from football when the Internationals are being played.

MOTD no i normally catch the highlights on you tube

So how much/often do you watch?

as i attend most home games i do not really watch a lot of Sky TV coverage of live games and Sundays unless we are playing i tend to be doing other things.

I tend to check results and look at the highlights much like yourself Bikey on Youtube And depending on who is playing i will either watch the Cup finals or not.

World cup i will watch the England games and watch the highlights of the others but come on its summer you just have to be out in the world instead of watching a screen.

I suppose being a Fantasy Football dweeb anorack, I'm right across every premier league team and line up. Every game week. So courtesy of Heir Dodgee Stich, its fair to say I watch a lot of football. I keep a close eye on the Championship, as it's an exciting league. I obviously follow Crawley Towns exploits and watch as much of them as I can. Like many peeps I watch the Champions league games when there is something riding on it.

No time for the Internationals, but always watch as much of the World Cup as I can and to a lesser extent the Euros.

No time for Jock football or foreign domestic leagues however. So there you go. Being a retired old fart it's what I do.

You said it HG, I'd rather watch The Spatchcock Pigeon v The Vicars Cassocks over the park on a Sunday morning with the dog!!

Obviously most home games and if pos away games.

Have no "Pay For View" as such. I use a VPN for Australia and watch Stan Sports for £2 a month via daughters internet provider. Works well Chromecast to TV but has a few seconds delay.

Only ever watch the West Ham on Motd, never the rest.

No interest in Champions League.

Take an annual trip to Scotland to watch live footie, appreciate the quality is not premier league but like the basics.

I could watch as much as possible if I chose to, but I have to admit the time difference puts paid to that. Gone are the days i'd get up in the middle of the night to watch the Hammers. Currently there are a few early morning games on during the week so i might put on the idiot box for that but will invariably be on my phone at the same time so not really engaged. The Hammers plight has killed a lot of the enjoyment I used to get from football. until that porn dwarf is gone I will be more disengaged as he slowly destroys us. I do see a day where I will no longer bother.

I do watch other games. I'll actually watch games of interest, or it will be on in the background for others. It does all depend if there is anything interesting on the other channels however, which isn't often

I'm the same bike ,the old fire stick is a Godsend .
Think B T is a better option than Sky ,to me it looks like your only guaranteed 3 prem games with shy ,one on Saturday and two on Sunday while B T seems to have every mid-week match+ 1 on Sunday.Thats if your prepared to pay their extortion rates .
The thing that pisses me off is both have biased commentators , Jamie ( stones in his gob) Garrigher,Neval, and the worst on for me Smith ,chair of the ex Gooners gobshites .
The fukin crooks at Sky and Bt are trying to get the sticks banned over here, so what you pay in a year with a stick you'd pay them a month ,hungry c*#@s.
