A full Amazing Prime round? You love to see it. Especially after a weekend when Sky and BT denied us full access to some belters...
We love an Amazon round of live Premier League TV – and it makes Sky and BT look like dusty relicsDate published: Tuesday 18th October 2022 2:06 -On Sunday afternoon, Arsenal cemented their grip on top spot in the Premier League with a tense and often bizarre 1-0 win at Leeds, a game in which the leaders came under immense pressure but held firm as Leeds missed a penalty, and loads of other chances, before having a penalty given and taken away again in stoppage time.
It’s obviously not the first time this has been raised. As someone who is frequently wrong about everything and has long since ceased being surprised when that wrongness is exposed, I remain nevertheless genuinely astonished that the Covid-era broadcasting of all Premier League football did not become the norm.
But more importantly, all the games. You can watch whichever game you want. It’s a shame that Arsenal’s table-topper against Manchester City is off the schedule this week, but that’s outside Amazon’s control and doesn’t leave us short., and there are interesting games across the rest of the schedule. But the main point is that you can decide to watch whichever game you want over the next three nights or dip in and out. Liverpool against West Ham getting tasty? Stick that on for a bit.
It means that this time, Amazon’s moment in the spotlight comes after a weekend where not even the separate arguments about the merits or otherwise of the 3pm Blackout are much of a factor. There was still no real valid reason why subscribers who cough up increasingly hard-to-justify fortunes for their various TV subscriptions had only Villa v Chelsea to sustain them before Liverpool v Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
It’s all fans who have lost out due to what is disingenuously described as the ‘greater choice’ of having more than one broadcaster showing live coverage of Premier League games. ‘Greater choice’ just means you have to pay multiple subscriptions to cover what you used to get with one.
