... supporter or follow EPL y'know!!!...grr :mad:

RANT!!!

Whats the meaning of this? I'm 'unprintable words' pissed!
I've always looked fwd to Monday night TV but now theyre shoving MUTV down our throats?!
Wheres Anna Torv?

Cant MUTV be shown like 2am instead of prime time? Isnt Singtel MIO enuff already?
I know we dont hv to pay TV license any more but this is ridiculous.
 
I know how you and other non-ManU fans feel. Mediacorp is typical government, they just assume we will accept it and then shove everything down people's throat. I'm a Liverpool fan, but if Mediacorp airs LFCTV regularly, I will feel uneasy and "paiseh" too. Maybe the programming executive responsible for this is a ManU fan, and also a retard.
 
How is this shoving anything down your throat? It's free TV, so don't expect to have any choice in the programming. The only choice that matters is to not watch.

*I'm not a Man U fan (I don't watch soccer), and I'm not defending Mediacorp (I don't watch TV at all)

here don't have mediacorp pple to read this leh.

you can try posting at there facebook or email to them directly lor
 
It's free-to-air TV. You have a choice. Like it? Watch it. Don't like it? Don't watch it. I believe it's that simple.
 
I suppose I'm probably pissed off cos its Man U (and its almost always them); 6 hrs per week, for the rest of the season (i hope not).
Man U this, Manure that; Rooney this, Rooney that; etc..
U see them everywhere. :rolleyes:

Just because they have the $$$$ (& influence?), its shouldnt mean they can get or buy 'free-to-air' time and subj MUTV to the masses.

And while I understand Mediacorp wants to make money too, have a heart lah to those who dont follow football/EPL & esp. the non-Man U supporters.

I'd go with retard :)
 
I think a majority is taking this thread the wrong way lol.
Oh well, Serie A for the win! No complaints here since Starhub bought the rights back!
 
more than just a coincidence?

Now ManU is getting itself listed in SGX (of all places!), to raise funds to clear some of its staggering 1 billion pounds debt.

Probably a PAP-linked company like Temasek Holdings may buy a chunk of its shares, using of our CPF monies of course.

So the out-of-sudden screening of MUTV, on a public channel, plus around prime-time slot.....is it more than just a coincidence?

Read the news this morning too. Now that this is out, I dont think all this is a coincidence.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but I've a sneaky feeling that this is all part of a grand plan.
*expletive* :rolleyes:

Apparently the Glazers are offering to sell 25% of their stakes in Asia for US$1bn through IPO. That means the Glazers think MU is worth US$4bn, which is more than double the value of Real Madrid and Barcelona! Talk about greed, when they still record loses with unsustainable debt.

I pity the suckers who buy those way over-valued MU shares, just because they think they are "popular" or "fashionable" commodity. No wonder the Glazers are selling their shares in Asia, thinking the large EPL fan base here will be gullible enough to buy. Don't be surprised if a certain Temasek Holding CEO who recorded over $50bn losses is one of them! :D
 
Govt trying to play catch up with the neighbours is it; now that Tony Fernandez owns 66% of QPR?

I got to admire Tony Fernandes's entrepreneurial foresight, which not surprisingly our government's Temasek Holdings doesn't have.

The first involvement Fernades had with EPL was to advertise his Air Asia and Tune Group on the EPL's referees and linesmen jerseys. And it turned out to be the most obvious and visible advertising campaign in the entire EPL, because there are 10 matches played and shown "live" (or delayed) on TV every weekend all over the world. And the TV cameras so often zoomed in on the referees and linesmen. It's better than spending lots more money putting your company's logo on a single big club. Smart move.
 
Haha...maybe the Glazers think the Manu fans here are more prone to be gullible suckers. Even billionaire Peter Lim, a big Manu fan himself, is cautious about the public offerings. Anyway, I still got a strange but eerie feeling our so-called "talented" government wants to use our CPF monies to buy piece of the Glazer's share, and that's why all the focus and "public education" on MUTV. Nuts!
