The company I worked for in the naughties (I think you guys call it the aughts?) were based in Cambridge, so I was a regular visitor to Boston. Saw the Cs and the Bruins multiple times, was never a problem. The prices have gone up so steeply, it's crazy.

Blimey. Leicester are shocking at the back.

It was actually the Celtics I was looking into seeing. I didn't notice your avatar! Edit: the bar I went to was called The Tam. It was a decent night out!

Is the correct answer

I'm staggered by the price of sporting events in the States now. I used to cross the Atlantic a couple of times a year in my old job and I'd always try and check out the hockey/basketball/baseball (I can't get on with what the Yanks call "football", soz American blues but it's the most boring...

I get that, that's why I compared it to the YouTube gamers. Honestly, I think football has probably peaked, in the UK at least, in terms of commercialisation. Younger fans have been priced out of the game and, as you say, have an enormous amount of alternatives in terms of media offerings, so...

I'm sure that's part of it but I don't think so, overall. I used to watch lots of non-Everton PL games on the telly or down the pub and I don't anymore. If the league was still entertaining, I think I still would be. It's all a bit stale.

An MLS on steroids is what we're looking at for the PL, I fear. A sterile, expensive, joyless dirge.

Well, Moyes has proven, quite dramatically, that Dyche definitely was part of the problem. I'm not a huge fan of Moyes but he's levels above the lad that you can't stop bringing up. Putting that to one side, I'm not sure what it is from my posting history that makes you think I haven't been...

Check out your local non-league club, it's a lot of fun. No VAR, very little diving, very little hassling of the ref (and if they do it's 10 mins in the sin bin), and, if it's National League North or below, you can drink a beer in your seat. The footie isn't as bad a standard as many people...

Ha ha. It's delusional to want us to improve and eventually win something? I think that says more about you than it does about me, SD.

I read this recently, too. What a dreadful state of affairs. Let's see less actual football and more idiotic and self-important chatter about the football. As if the football itself is a prelude to the real "entertainment" of two or three middle aged dimwits giving terrible takes about how...

Yep, it's rubbish. Twenty years ago I watched loads of footie, as many PL games as I could, MOTD and MOTD2 without fail, championship games, European games, the lot. Ten years ago I'd watch our games, the big title deciding games, Champions League finals and MOTD if I was in. Now I watch our...

Moyes took over this club 7 years after we won a trophy. How long is an era? I agree that now, thirty years after last winning a trophy, is comparing apples and oranges but not in 2002. P.S. why are you talking about Dyche in the Davey Moyes thread. You gotta let it go, SD, he's gone now, he...

It's clear your a huge Moyes enthusiast, your username alone demonstrates that, and I'm not trying to change your mind. He does a good job wherever he goes but he doesn't win things. He's got one trophy in a 27 year managerial career. He's got one win away from home against Arsenal in 20...
