I have not left 'a trail of false predictions'. Again, you come out with this stuff with no justification, and so credibility is certainly at issue when you do this.

The only prediction that went wrong for me was the famous Sky Atlantic issue, but that was based on an article that turned out not to be correct in the end.

Of course, you can disagree with me or whomever you like, but please give us a justification for your view so you are not constantly accused of believing that nothing will ever change.

I welcome a good debate, but constant responses of 'It will never happen, take your rose tinted glasses off' can be a bit wearing.

Assumptions based on extrapolating the current growth curve of streaming services isn't entirely accurate. Keep extrapolating the current curve and you'll get to a point where there are more people watching streaming services than there are people in the world. At some point, the gradient of the curve will change, flatten out, maybe go into decline. That's the unknown factor, how long is the current trend sustainable, It could be years, months, weeks even. Articles based on current trends are just that, and trends change.

One opinion is no more correct than another, they are only opinions.
That is true to an extent, but if you are going to rubbish someone else's post, one can at least provide an explanation.

Whether extrapolation is really an issue with the debate about whether Amazon will go for the Premiership rights is debateable. We still don't know why Den takes the view he does, but we have provided plenty of links to indicate that this is precisely what will happen, either this time round or next.

And you say that why, Den?
