That's how you say RIP to opponents before every match begins, yet you be the one buried after 90 minutes...

Rubbish, how many people still use Startimes in their homes

lol....you just read the number of subscribers they've got

Does that mean that they will now be showing man Utd games like EPL, champions league/Europa,Carling cup fa cup via manU tv ?

If that's the case, startimes should just try and sign agreement with Chelsea, mancity, Liverpool Tottenham and other top EPL teams so that we can be viewing the matches via those club tv channels

How can a sensible person sit down and be watching Manure matches

Which one did you support or you watch, if it's for Chelsea, Man Utd perform more than Chelsea or u should check your table then

Samuel200:

Great one, man utd to the world

That would be awesome but then ManU is know for frustrating its fans. Win today, lose tomorrow. Draw next tomorrow.
Won't this be waste of money?

Lol
They won't
But their inhouse radio station will upload live commentary on games
You will also get indepth interviews and behind the scene coverage

obembet:

And consequent decrease in patronisation leading to low subscription. After all, it's just about us, the Man U fans. Other club fans won't be interested.
