You are too young to have an account at 16 I'm afraid!

Shows the kind of profits BT make that they can afford to spend £897m sponsoring football. And of course they have the worst customer service I've experienced in the last few years.

£10/month??? Got it free with BT Broadband!!!

I have Virgin, BT Sport is free with Virgin's L and XL package.

I think you typed "have" then when you actually meant to type "am a".

You may be the only male in the house but you are still too too young to have an account. Either your mummy or your big sister will be the account holder.
As an alternative you may quote your age as 16 for other purposes as a course of habit?

Times hard then?

The Champions League is one of the few things ITV's still got going for it. What was it last night? The Nation's Favourite Elvis Presley Song? Jesus christ.

Let's face it, both the Beeb and ITV are pretty much dying channels. Sport is getting less and less airing on 'terrestrial' tele as Sky and other subscription channels come in and pay way over the odds for the rights to begin with just to get it. If the BBC and ITV lose any more live sport then the next big sporting event either shows will be the World tiddlywinks championships. Or has ESPN grabbed that already?

I cannot stand ITV's football coverage. Clive Tydesley is fucking awful, ditto Andy fucking Townsend. Ditto Gordon Strachan, ditto Roy Keane, ditto every twat on the sofa.

I think BT Sport has picked up the World Tiddlywinks Series and Sahara Camel Racing for their ESPN-UK channel! Looking forward to the Camel Racing!!!

I really wouldn't be surprised. To be honest about all I watch on the Beeb these days is Dr Who and I can't remember the last time I watched ITV because the Champions League doesn't really interest me and as has been pointed out already their coverage of England matches is just so bad as to make it unwatchable. I have BT sport as part of my package with Virgin but I don't think I'll watch much of that either. I guess I'm not really a telly person. I suppose if we get back to the Prem I'll watch MOTD because I refuse to have Sky Sports, it's way too expensive for us.

LPP yo said that I have BT sport as part of my package with Virgin. Iv'e been with those buggers forever, and if I want BT Sport, I have to pay. How did you manage tha then ?
