Wouldn't be surprised if viewership figures have gone down since they started running away with the league and refs stopped giving Man United a penalty every week. All the excitement's drained out of it now because nobody gives a f**k about soulles City and its oil-bought titles, and it would be too controversial for the PL if they continued to 'help' United.
Sky has run out of scripts...So here comes the Super League as the next talking point / distraction!
