Yep just saw it my self

Another tweet

BT hopes losing 38 games a season will push some Virgin homes over to BT so they can get all the Premiership matches there. Are they right?

23k new subscribers suggests that the ads and the publicity and the anti VM guff have done very little to send people over to BT so far.

Also so much for the 18 top picks on the football, I don't think I have seen 5 out the list shown.

BT sport said they only used 5 top picks so far

That's the ticket, set up new channels, grab top games then think you can con people into subscribing by picking non top games and promising better later... Hah!

If it wasn't for the UFC I would just say sod BT sport and go the pub for the 5 decent games they will show.
