Fox Sports is copping a relentless pasting over its loss of the English Premier League broadcast rights with its Facebook page filling with comments poking fun at the pay TV provider.

Under each story posted on the Fox Sports Australia Facebook page - which has more than 600,000 followers - commenters have mocked the broadcaster by relating back to the shock poach by telco Optus, which outmanoeuvred Fox to secure the EPL rights from August 2016.

Under a story headed "Why Smith is no Ponting, Waugh or Clarke", the lead comment is "Steve Smith gave the captaincy rights to Optus".
