£14.95 to watch a game on pay per view is disgraceful. £5, ok, but £14.95? It's disgusting. At a time when PL clubs spent £1.2bn on players. When they'll give agents £200m. When so many families are struggling. The creed of greed is in @premierleague DNA but this truly stinks.

In March 20', many teams had played over 80% of their league games & some had already been promoted, when the answer was to "Null & Void". 12 months later, we're about to make the same decision on another season. The FA has blood on their hands over this. Two campaigns, wasted.
