    @HLTCO When I was at uni, I had a freeview box or something and it had Sky Sports News. **** it was repetitive, but it was on all day in my room.

    @Faka_of_west219 Life was better when it was just on sky sports and social media. It was so fun mate. You got home or wake up and stick on sky sports news as it was free on the freeview box. It was great time. Now it’s ****
