There's an interesting point on it that I want to think about.

Cohen, a supporter of Chelsea Football Club and Geber, a supporter of Liverpool Football Club are well-known for, amongst other things for their stern criticism of Major League Soccer, USA international midfielder Landon Donovan (whom they typically refer to as "Dandy Landy," "Landycakes," or "Primadonovan"), and ESPN's lead announcer for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Dave O'Brien. In the past they have said they are somewhat casual supporters of Chivas USA due to the passion of their fans and the front office.

The bit I've highlighted is something that wouldn't be allowed this side of the pond I don't think. They have a show on FOX Soccer Channel, which also shows games from Major League Soccer. If someone did that here to someone in the Premiership, all that would happen is that the channel would be boycotted (see Ferguson boycotting the BBC, Allardyce also as well as nearly SKY after the bung programme). It seems you have a totally different philosophy.
