    I certainly do.
    And then there's TNT and Amazon Prime.
    It's totally overwhelming.

    I don't. I'm never going to get down to Spurs anytime soon.

    I love it me. Just had a baby so my social life is in the gutter as expected so having loads of sport on is great.

    Does it feel anywhere near the same as watching live though?

    Oversaturation is already affecting attendances and it will definitely kill off some clubs soon. Hopefully ours isn't one of them

    Very rarely watch the PL live games these days, unless it's one of the traditional 'big' ones, Manc derby, NLD, Mersey derby, ManU-Liverpool etc. And that's probably only to see if it kicks off. Prem genuinely leaves me bored $hitless.

    Even the "big" games are boring now. I always predict a draw if it's NDL, Manc/Liv or Man Utd/Arsenal.

    For me the Championship is where it's at. S**t refs, boom or bust clubs, underdogs in the Play Off Finals, relegation scrap. The best

    Here's the thing though, you don't have to watch it. Totally up to you. Don't let it affect you.

    No, not really. You dont have to watch them all.
    Like others have said, premier league is utterly boring, so don't bother too much.
    EFL though, is great. Don't mind what leagues or games are on, I try to watch something.
    Choice is amazing.

    Reason I packed sky in. Sick to the back teeth of wall to wall blanket football. And more so the interference and lack of consideration for fans who attend games.
    Love Barnsley hate football.

    With the 52 games that TNT have, that means there are only 113 PL games across the whole season that are NOT live on the telly. Bonkers.

    yes, I do, I will probably watch part of about 25% & all of about 5%. I will probably watch most of the Reds games shown live, that I can't get to, especially the mid-week ones.

    The Premier league is dull as hell.

    Game after game day in day out just dilutes it.

    I've always thought the Championship, is where its at!!.
    Its the most exciting league to watch, although its slowly turning into a Premier league 2nd level.
    Which is something that's been suggested for years now.

    It depends how much folk have had to drink, sometimes you wonder if they remember any of the game.

    Doesn't bother me. Nobody is holding a gun to our heads forcing us to watch them.

    I reckon I watch between 3-5 games a season that aren't BFC.

    Match of the Day maybe half a dozen times a year.

    The more that's available, the less I watch
