I’ll happily watch PL games involving Leeds or Villa as I want them to lose, happily watch matches with an underdog, wanting the underdog to win in most cases being the draw there, but Utd v City and Everton v Chelsea are just (imho) insipid match-ups featuring monied clubs whose character and identity has been stripped away that hold zero appeal. Pre-monied City v United I’d have watched, but the ‘soul’ has long been bleached out of that fixture.
And that is absolutely fair enough.
