The thing is, I've thought that anytime United were on TV, and that's all I have to say about that. But this season has been amazing in a way that a win isn't guaranteed no matter where you are on the table.

Aye there's a reason United have had every FA cup game for the last 6 years shown on tv. Its what the general public want.

Premier League has more games on like Newcastle vs Aston Villa on than basically any other league in Europe. The split in the TV deal is why the league is fairer than a lot of other leagues too. Mid-table teams have a lot of money relative to a European scale.
In what other league could Tony Pulis' Stoke have a net spend of £90m over five seasons (more than United in the same time) and never have any ambition other than to stay in midtable? Relegation-threatened clubs can buy the best players from last 16 teams in the Champions League based on the money and wages that they can offer.
In La Liga, they show every Real and Barca game, every Bayern game is shown, not sure about Italy but I'd say there are more Juventus games on than the top teams in England.

I never said they were wrong in doing it I just don't understand why that's what people want to watch.
I'd rather watch Southampton vs Swansea than Chelsea vs Fulham but you know which game would get put on.

Palace at home vs United at the weekend makes sense but Palace away to Arsenal a few weeks ago made no sense imo.

If you had 3 o'clock games with red button feature, you'd be set. But that's hardly going to happen with that broadcasting ban.

To be fair, it isn't hard for even the most technological retard to get a livestream for a PL Game anymore.
