On a different note, this video popped back up in my YouTube recommendations. Always a personal favorite.

Efon Ekoku played for 14 years.
Martin Tyler has worked as a commentator since the 70’s.

Neither of them understood the basics of offside.
 
I don't want to go to Chelsea.

Like with Arsenal, changing the ownership isn’t going to fix anything.

They just don’t want Americans owning teams.

Edit: This isn’t anything new. There’s always been a group of Man U fans that have protested the Glazers ownership. (To be fair, I’ve never liked the Glazers ownership either considering they bought Man U at the same time the Tampa Bay Mutiny were contracted by MLS)

The news also keeps saying it had to do with the failed Super League. Would they really be that angered by that? I'm assuming Man U would have been part of it. Or do they have that much loyalty to the Premier League?

They’ve always been PO’d at the Glazers since the Glazers bought the team. The Super League probably was the catalyst for this protest but there have been protests against the Glazers for years. Much like Arsenal, the fans blame their recent lack of success on the ownership, and not the fact they’ve been on a managerial carousel and passed up by oligarch run teams.

There seems to be blame directed towards the American owners of teams involved in the Super League mess when, in reality, it seems more blame lies at the feet of Madrid, Barcelona, and Juve. There’s an undercurrent of anti-Americanism in English soccer, on everything from owners to VAR.

In fairness, American owners have ruined most American sports, so they're right to be wary.

English, and European soccer in general, was ruined well before Americans got involved. The only difference between the Glazer family and Sky Corp is the Glazer family was actually able to purchase Man U.

Based on this I would say English football has been ruined since 1979. I dunno what that corresponds to? Ay-rabs buying in maybe?

It looks like by the early 80s the EPL, and the extinction of all interest, was just a matter of time.

1961 is when they abolished the maximum player wage rule. TV coverage (well, highlights) started soon after.
 
ManU is in position to qualify for the CL for the first time in a few years right? Their fans can eat a bag of dicks.
 
A Champions League Title Will Cap a Breakthrough Season for Americans Abroad
The Champions League final will conclude a dizzying spring stretch played at unique heights for Americans in Europe. The “cup with the big ears” will be the exclamation point, but it’ll come at the end of a lengthy list of honors won. Here’s a breakdown of the U.S. clinchers and contenders as the 2020-21 season reaches its climax:

— Steffen and City already won the EFL Cup—he played all five games—and they’ll clinch the Premier League title soon. Steffen has just one league appearance this season, but it’s impossible to imagine the club withholding a medal from its backup keeper.

— Pulisic will get a second crack at the FA Cup when Chelsea plays Leicester City in the May 15 final. He scored in last season’s decider, which the Blues lost to Arsenal.

— Sergi?o Dest and Barcelona won the Copa del Rey last month, and they’re still in the hunt for La Liga, trailing Atl?tico Madrid by two points with four games remaining.

— Adams (RB Leipzig) and Gio Reyna (Borussia Dortmund) will face off in the DFB-Pokal final on May 13 in Berlin. Reyna scored twice in the 5-0 semifinal win over Holstein Kiel. Leipzig will be playing for its first major trophy.

— Weston McKennie and Juventus face Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final on May 19. Juve won the Italian Super Cup in January.

— Timothy Weah and Lille lead favorites PSG by a single point in Ligue 1 with three games left.

— RB Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch and midfielder Brenden Aaronson won the ?FB Cup last weekend and have a six-point lead in the Austrian Bundesliga with four games to go.

— Mark McKenzie won the Belgian Cup with Genk. The defender came on as a late substitute to help secure a 2-1 win over Standard Li?ge in the April 25 final.

— Jordan Siebatcheu won the Swiss Super League championship with Bern’s Young Boys.

— Ian Harkes and Dillon Powers are part of the Dundee United team that booked a place in Saturday’s Scottish Cup semifinal against Hibernian.

— Haji Wright and S?nderjyskE will face Randers in Denmark’s DBU Pokalen final on May 13.

Add it all up, and it’s still possible for Americans to win trophies in each of Europe’s "big five" countries, as well as eight of the top 11 in the UEFA ranking. There is U.S. representation, and success, like never before. And thanks to Wednesday’s result in London, that now extends to the biggest game of all.https://www.si.com/soccer/2021/05/0...icans-steffen-pulisic-chelsea-manchester-city
