The effects of Singtel's coup on UCL will be thoroughly felt on match day 1
I am pissed. It's no longer about Adebayor. He's history. After the FA mets out his punishment, we'll all be celebrating and I'll leave that for later.

What sucks more than Adebayor now, is Singtel. We've known this a long time now, but it obvious how much of a cunt this telco is. As if owning the biggest market share in the telco industry isn't enough, they've now hijacked Starhubs monopoly in football coverage.

Insane.

You know, we wouldn't mind if Starhub increased the fees for Champion's League coverage. I can imagine then creating a new channel for it and how much more could it cost? Probably $10 or $15 per month, judging from how much HBO and Star Movies cost. We'll be unhappy over the extra subscription fees, but we definitely wouldn't be up in arms calling for Singtel to DIAF*. And if they make us pay extra for the more in depth coverage as compared to before, it'll be 100% worth it since they won't get to cut out the Arsenal games like before. Those days of complaining are over. -_-

For the average person, like me, who completely watches nothing else but sports and more sports, this is a completely retarded situation. I wouldn't be appreciating whatever rubbish channels Sing-bloody-tel has to offer on top of my sports group. I mean, I have 4 basic groups for Starhub cable and I don't fully utilise them either. I don't exactly turn on MTV and dim my room lights and start dancing naked do I.

MIO is a rubbish concept and I hope they lose mega bucks, using their telco moneys to cover their losses.

If we unite in not getting the lame stupid retarded shitty mother fucking MIO, it'll force them to sell their rights to Starhub and the hubbers will be happy.

In the meantime, I suppose it won't hurt to catch online streams of the game via TVUplayer. The links are on myp2p.eu and sometimes if we're lucky, we can get media player streams minus the Chinese commentary. The US ESPN shows UCL since they bought over Setanta. Singapore, being how globalised, will not enjoy any benefits from that despite there existing a channel called ESPN here. Such a retarded concept where TV rights must be sold here and there and ESPN is different in every country. Someday, we'll have global channels and Singtel can stick it up there somewhere.

And yeah, Starhub's hogging all the established channels and even when they created Football Channel, the idea sold and that's what we all call it over here. Simple. Singtel is just FULL OF SHIT. There's BBC and Nat Geo on Starhub. Nothing good left for ST. They may as well create new channels for their crap and no one will remember.

Singtel and Adebayor will make horribly good bffs. They're both obsessed with $$$ from us fans, while one is a disgrace to football, the other deprives us of football.

Cunts from the same hole I tell you.

Next time round MIO might bid for F1 and then get the qualifiers while Starhub retains the main race day. Sounds retarded, but it's the same as following football but skipping the European matches. A football season consists of every possible game the team plays. Nothing less.

Spray paint will come in handy.
