    @SkyHelpTeam Delighted to have been a customer for 26 years and now receiving the most appalling customer service. Your Sky Mobile team are inept, incapable of resolving my issue, and trying to charge me for the privilege. @Ofcom action next.

    @AnfieIdFix How much stock do you put in Sky sports? Other journos like @davidlynchlfc have said the club want to fix RB. I'd trust him more than Skysports

    @SkySports & @NOW why am I paying £34.99 for your steam to look choppy. I have blazing fast fibre. It should be silky smooth. I don’t have this issue on any other platform. Signed up just to watch the rugby’s greatest rivalry.

    @SkySports @virginmedia your red button sports stream is ******* **** ...and you wonder why people are using IPTV !!!! Robbing bastards taking money off customers and giving a **** service back

    @SkySports This guy needs to **** right off. Sport in general should not be treated as an investment opportunity. It is not a vehicle to make yourself rich. It should be about being the best at the sport and belong to the fans. FIFA and UEFA are out of touch and most their way.

    Mohamed Salah is set to join Turkish side Trabzonspor on a free transfer after mutually agreeing to terminate his Liverpool contract a year early. (@SkySports)

    @FabrizioRomano 29 years old going for £75m and everywhere is quiet. If this was Manchester United, Skysports and all other media outlets would write the transfer fee in Euro just to have a higher figure and the narrative would be "it's a bad business." This is how you know that Manchester United is bigger than them all.

    @SkyUK why is my tv freezing during adverts. I did a software reset which helped for a few days. Now the problem is back

    @fortuneshiding0 @Horny_Hammer Cant get it on sky go. You need the sky sports app and then press watch. Its stupid because it means you can only watch skysports+ on TV or mobile. Not PC or Laptop

    @MatchroomPool Why did you take pool events off @SkySports? The streaming experience for WNT on a tv is terrible! a real step back for the sport we follow. Take this on board please. Make it better for fans.

    @fredyagun @SkySports Makes absolutely no sense for Newcastle to sell. SCR position will not be a worry after Bruno sale (arguably already fine), the sale of Hall would just give us extra unneeded breathing space which would hurt us a year or two down the line. Got to spread sales out for the rules.
