Read lots of good reviews for those ones, mine is an older version, does the job though.

Glebee

These must be completely illegal though. Can Sky and such other companies not get them take down???

I almost certain my local pub has started using these for matches. They got rid of sky a few years ago because of the cost and now all of a sudden matches are back but no pint icon in the bottom of the screen.

One thing I'll advise for any of these boxes. Avoid wireless, you do not want another variable. Use Ethernet our get a set of homeplugs to get a wired connection to the box, well work out much smoother

Have the homeplugs and done a sppeed test, 30mbps download, and 8ms pings.. Looses a bit on wifi but not to much

Anything over about 8 mbit is fine, it's consistency and low latency you need. Wi-Fi it's a shared frequency therefore someone else in another room watching YouTube on their phone can have you fighting over bandwidth as your router will only talk to one at a time

Wireless has packet loss at a ridiculously higher rate than cables.

Always better to use cables where possible.

Isn't that a different kind of box though? connected to the Satellite dish where the other one is just streaming.

Pochettino on Alli...He is an incredible athlete, yes but he is not a machine. He has a problem in his ankle and knee."

Rumour: http://www.90min.com/posts/3017504-tottenham-hotspur-in-talks-with-nike-over-lucrative-30m-per-year-kit-deal?a_aid=35322

Us signing a deal with Nike?

It's a rumour which has been doing the round for a while, also possible naming rights for the stadium too.

As someone who really likes the Under Armour gear that we have, i wouldn't be too happy with this. It must be a good deal though, so it may be a good deal for the club.

Yeah I love the current kit. I'd want to keep it for a few seasons but in this day and age it changes every season!

mass_debater

I would assume the future stadium sponsorship could have something to do with a change, there's been rumours of the Nike stadium

with the NFL connections its going to be nike

I think Arsenal should go all out for one of;

Simeone, Tuchel, or Pochetino.

Might be a little early to get Tuchel after just a season at Dortmund, but all three are potentially gettable I think with the right offer. Simeone has pretty much done what he can at Atleti, and the other two have already shown their ambition to move to a bigger project when the opportunity arrises.

I think the same for ManU incidentally.

Just spotted this in the arsenal thread.

Have to saw that watching Arsenlol TV on you tube these days after matches is a great laugh....:) Always guaranteed a melt down..

Their meltdown is even nicer when their owner came out last week and said if you wanted to win championships you wouldn't get involved. So they need a new owner and a manager.......at least Levy keeps his mouth shut

Leicester had one shot on goal and won the game:mad:

I've got two arsenal mates in work. I've found myself consoling them the past couple days.

Poor buggers.
