Pat from Poole

He looks to me like he should be playing for a team like Walsall or Crawley.

Sports Nation HD was absolutely flawless on the iPad, until it lost the picture in the 86th minute, and didn't return for 5 minutes.......

On Goals on Sunday now.

Itchen Corner was immense fun today. The second-half was superb in there.

Am in row JJ of Block 1 tomorrow. Hoping it will be pretty lively.

Is Crooks not the guy who said that James Morrison at West Brom should be considered for an England call-up? Despite being a regular in the Scotland team.......

I think we might. It's not on telly. A lot of fans won't have been to Bramall Lane before. We took over 2,000 to Stoke on Wednesday; I'm dead keen to go, the wife just needs to change her birthday......

Really? We're going to get over 5,000 tickets in all likelihood. It might sell out after a general sale, but not before it.

I had the same thought actually!!! Think she may have a problem in getting time off work though.

It's my wife's 40th birthday on the Tuesday, so had very been much been hoping for the game to be played on the Wednesday. Damn and twice damn.

3 going up in my car from Poole.

On Sky Sports 1 now. They're about to talk about Saints. More humble pie for Neil Ashton.

Sports Nation HD was not great in the first-half for me, froze a few too many times. Switched to Offside Streams for the second-half and watched it on Sportsnet World HD, which was actually a lot better. Sports Nation HD is an excellent quality picture, but it freezes too much for my liking.

Sports Nation HD was superb today, and that was through Google Chrome. Only froze a couple of times all game. Excellent picture.

Ah right, thanks for that. Will give it a try.

Yeah, I have this as well. Not entirely sure how legit it is, it seems to work in much the same way as Offside Streams, which I'm fairly sure is illegal. I got a bit of grief on the Digital Spy Forums "Online Entertainment Services" forum thread about Premier League football, for talking up Offside Streams. As I mentioned above, I'm just intrigued to know what is the best combo for a DNS/VPN and search engine provider.

I used Sports Nation HD on Saturday. It was indeed an excellent picture, however the major problem I had was that the picture froze on a pretty regular basis. I'm on a high-speed broadband at home, so this shouldn't be happening. Just wondering if it's due to using DNS as opposed to VPN? I am using Unotelly Smart DNS via Google Chrome. Would be interested to know what other people are using in terms of DNS or VPN? Also, would Firefox be better than Chrome? Cheers in advance.

Sports Nation HD was the best bet today. Froze a couple of times, but the picture was superb.

I think this has been the case for some years, possibly as far back as Michael Owen negotiating a Bosman transfer to Real Madrid from Liverpool some time before the end of that particular season (which I guess would have been 2003/04, the season before they won the Champions League).

So with NBC, if you can get an American E-mail address, how much does it cost to subscribe to NBC Sports?

Have just received my "Dear Potentially Sneaky User" E-mail from PLP. Swines. Am going to look more into the NBC option ASAP.

I would ideally like to get a subscription to NBC, but it seems you need to know somebody in the US who will sell you their login details, and that seems a bit dicey to me. Am still with PLP (though expecting to be barred from it anyday) with SportsNation HD, Star Sports and Offside Streams as back-up options.

Did Sports Nation HD switch from streaming the Sky Sports picture to NBC?

Yup. Still lives in Poole with wife and kids. Kids were at same school as my kids while his kids were on the waiting list for a school in the posh part of Poole, which they were ultimately able to get in. He was on the school run more regularly than I would have imagined likely given the demands of his job.

I don't think we'll be signing anybody before the window closes.
