A Conversation for 'Futurama' - the TV Series
It's all Rupert Murdochs fault

The prostitution of English football that is. We get cheerleaders and fireworks before a game (does anything look more ridiculous than cheerleaders at a northern English football ground at three o'clock on a cold January day in the pouring rain?) We have to kick off at four in the afternoon on Sunday, or on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Our London clubs are full of aged Italian has beens who still show up our British lads. A televised match involves three hours of inane waffle by the human foghorn Andy Gray and the ape-beast Richard Keys.
.....And, worst of all, when football sold its soul to Murdoch, that was when Manchester United started their reign of terror in the top league, ousting beautiful Liverpool. No more of it I say! let's get football back on BBC1, a live game once a month with one camera only in the ground, and Des behind the desk with Jimmy Hill as the pundit. ....And Liverpool as champions.
