Extra shows are good, but the Fetch box mini is hopeless compared with Foztel, as it has no record capacity. Unless you have optus internet ( which we cant) you are stuck with the mini for $20 pm next season.haywood djablowme wrote:Completely agree! Coverage was great, no issues with the fetch box at all.. just with the team i was predominantly viewing! Pre game shows excellent, straight out of the UK and weekly shows keep you up to date. Foxtels hosts ie Bozza, Slater and co are muppets, rather hear the ex premier league stars opinions and analysis as you get with Optus.God is an Englishman wrote:I've enjoyed the Optus coverage. Cheaper than Foxtel, all games available, go back and watch them whenever you like.ozzie owl wrote:One season of Optus gone, hopefully Foxtel gets it back ASAP.

Re: EPL 2016/2017
I do hope Optus employ a decent graphics person next season, the standard this season was absolute rubbish, especially for those of at a certain age.
Terrible fonts, print size and poor choice of background colours made it hard to read, even on a massive big screen TV.

Re: EPL 2017/18
Liverpool with the same defensive frailties as last season, Chelsea still going around kicking everyone, but must have forgotten to slip the ref the envelope.
Gonna be a fun season :wink:

Re: EPL 2017/18
Couldn't believe my eyes how they "defended" corners. Basically left the keeper on his own in the six yard box, "zoned" defenders static around him and virtually two conceded by this brainwave idea alone.Nice One Cyril wrote:Liverpool with the same defensive frailties as last season, Chelsea still going around kicking everyone, but must have forgotten to slip the ref the envelope.

Rusty game despite the 3-3 score, but some good aspects and really should have won, but 37 games to go, so....
Huddersfield top (so far). Big day for swanny after South's win.
