    Haven't accepted the status quo, but I recognise it and the reasons....there's a difference.

    The reasons are a combination of the media telling people what to believe and what to think, and creating this ridiculous and pervasive narrative which includes such rubbish as the Premier League being the best league in the world and people accepting the current situation as the status quo (not saying that's you).

    Using the NFL is a bad example as every game is on TV. The Sunday, Monday and Thursday game is the game televised nationally, but every game will be shown on local tv or on Gamepass.

    Man Utd have got more fans than the rest of the 14 PL also rans combined I would wager.

    The media give the public what they think the public want. Most of the viewing public want to hear about Man Utd or Chelsea because most of the public do not go to football, are not really interested in the game, & are only really following a soap opera. As such they are only interested in the storyline of the lead characters.

    I regularly link that video in full from Youtube. Cloughie (and Taylor) were the very best.
