I don't think Chelsea played well, but there's a reason Arsenal supporters have been absolutely clamoring for the younger players to be given a shot, especially Smith-Rowe, Martinelli once fit, and now we just need to find Reiss Nelson as apparently he's been misplaced.

Can you all believe this? Three of the four games today are on NBCSN. They’re really sticking it to us Peacock subscribers, and it’s been like this for several weeks in a row.

I can easily believe it. It’s already more than a third into the season. Whatever subscribers they were going to have gotten from the EPL happened already. That’s why early on they’ll put a large chunk of them there while NBCSN runs auto auctions.....by now, they’ve already gotten our money. Now they can go back to networks so they can also cash in on commercial money. Pretty standard business actually.

Yeah, it was a joke.

Basically swapping Peacock with NBCSN from the original alarmist complaints.

yeah but come on. We all see what they are trying to do here. Cant obviously do it all in one fell swoop, but this is the start. Not saying they are going to eventually have none of NBCSN but it's going to end up being mandatory to buy Peacock if you want to see premium matches .

They've slowly taken more and more away. It's fine for some of us that are big fans of football and will pay, but this doesn't help reach out to a new audience. Yes they dont actually need that, but in this country it specifically would help broaden the game. The casual fan not being able to see a match like that is pretty sad.

Big Sam sitting Pereira, his most talented individual player after he was able to return from suspension pretty much summed up everything for me.

Batter them, Liverpool. Make Sam sit there looking bored and uninterested at the mess he took on.

Lol yeah I know. But it was a joke complaining about what guys like me say. Either way they got my money. My wife and I watch the epl every weekend on the couch and she watches The Office on non stop loops which starts for peacock Jan 1st.

I look fwd to next year having to buy a platinum package or whatever they’ll call it next for more money lol

I'd say less of complaining about complaining and more of a joke pointing out how unnecessary the original worries/complaints were. If you go back and look, some of the discussions around what will this whole Peacock thing mean for EPL coverage were...yeah.

Well I’m not so sure about it being unnecessary. I think it was a pretty valid complaint. If I wanted to watch good games early on in the season I had to pay for a peacock subscription. That sucked considering if I wanted to watch other games I had to pay a specific cable package to even get NBCSN in the past which I did just for the games because they had them all, a goal zone channel, etc. Then yeah, I had to pay for NBCSN gold. Now peacock. But I’m sure we are all made of money lol.
