Theres usually a thread for streams on the soccer Reddit.
A little dubious in it's legality. Sports are definitely the only reason I keep my cable package.

James Rodriguez 2 year loan to Bayern. Always knew it wouldnt happen, but still a bummer bc i think United could use his skills.

Since most of the Old Army SB guys have been posting on the United thread as of late, I'll ask the question here:

I really want to cut the cord, but don't want to lose all my NBC-EPL channels. Do you guys know of any options (Sling, Vue, DirectTV Now)?


Losing Root Sports (Astros) would suck too...
I have Directv Now and you can log in to the NBC Sports app (via iphone, apple TV, etc) as part of the package. You also get the NBC Sports channel through the Directv Now subscription package, at least at the mid-tier level I have so that should cover all the EPL matches you want to watch (I didn't miss any Arsenal games this year)

Losing Root Sports has really been the only bad part of cutting the cord for me, but I'm holding out hope that they will eventually put it on since AT&T owns both the channel and Directv Now.

I also use DirecTV Now. Between the NBC Sports channels directly included and the NBC Sports app with a Chromecast, it covers your PL needs pretty well.

My thoughts exactly. I'm gonna drop Consolidated DSL this week and switch to Suddenlink Cable internet.


Keeping Consolidated Cable for the time being, but I'll probably switch to DirectTV Now soon. Just need to get that 50mb first. Consolidated only offers 20mb at my residence.


Anyways, back to United news! Just needed some EPL cable advice.




PS: Screw yall for taking errbody from The Chelsea!

One more question:

Is the NBC Sports ap on Fire Stick?

I don't have a Fire Stick to verify, but according to NBC "Fire TV" is an option for activation.

Carrick was named captain today. I thought it would be Valencia since he is likely to feature more often. Mourinho seems to be going the seniority route here, which is probably a good thing for now.

Reports that Ibra's recovery is going amazingly well and that he could return to soccer as early as October. He's been rehabbing at United's facilities and United are considering offering him a contract.

When Lukaku signed, he mentioned that he asked Ibra for permission to wear the number 9...almost as if he expected Ibra to be back.

An Ibra and Lukaku line up could be terrifying. Just don't see it happening though since I Ibra likes to be the main man.

Januzaj has passed his medical and been sold to Real Sociedad for 10M pounds. That's like stealing 10M and having the prosecutor go "Meh, let him go"

All we need now is one more Central Midfielder. Eric Dier, anyone?

Has Jose ever played 2 strikers on a consistent basis? Realistically, even if Ibra comes back, he won't be ready to play every game. Even he has to know that. There will be a ton of fixtures next season (if all goes well) so having to 9s isn't a bad problem at all even if it means a bit of rotation.

To me, Dier seems like a quicker and bigger Daly Blind, although maybe not quite as good as Blind with the ball. He played holding mid, CB and RB for Spurs last year, sometimes all in the same game. He doesn't seem like your prototypical Mourinho holding mid, but his versatility is definitely interesting. Spurs would often switch from 4 at the back to 3 at the back formation last year simply by pushing both outside backs forward and dropping Dier into a back three. If Shaw is healthy, that could be a very interesting option.

That said, Levy is going to want a king's ransom for him, so I doubt this happens.

If Dier went to Man U, Edmond may be so angry he actually makes sense

Anyone interested in ICC tickets for the game in Houston? I have a few pretty good ones to sell.

First preseason game is tonight against LA Galaxy. Maybe we will get to see Lukaku in a red shirt for the first time.

Sluggish start by Lukaku...hopefully it's just the gitters of playing for the biggest club around!

Yeah, hopefully Lukaku settles down a bit over the next few games. He didn't look that great...

I kind of want to see how Rashford does up top with Lukaku in that second half 3 at the back formation. I feel like that combination would work very well. Also, I thought Pereira looked decent as the second half holding mid. I still think United need to find a starting quality player to rotate with Carrick, but Pereira definitely deserves to be a rotation option this season. I hope he sticks around and doesn't go on loan again.

Yeah. That was a harsh challenge by him. It was a yellow at a minimum.

It was yellow no doubt. The fact that it took forever for Chapman to go red was a little weird. In a friendly leave it at yellow and get going.

Was that the guy that kicked Mata earlier? (the one that Valencia got sent off tackling)

I'm glad Lukaku got on the scoresheet, and I thought Pereira looked great again. Other than that a pretty lackluster performance.

Apparently the ref asked Mourinho to sub Valencia out. Mourinho refused, so the ref gave the red card.

Recorded the game and speed-watched it this AM before work (fast forwarded most of it). Seemed to be a pretty boring game but I guess it is hard for the guys to get too excited about playing RSL. I was glad to see Lukaku get a goal. I know it has zero real value but little things can always start creeping in players heads (if he didn't score for 3+ games then he could start forcing etc).

I am in the minority maybe but I was somewhat ok with the harsh Valencia tackle. He is probably my favorite United player over the past few years (consistent, hard working, etc) and enjoy seeing him stick up for Mata and showing some passion. Need more of that.
