    Excellent. Thank you ESPN. Shame my search on here gives me 5 articles on MU that I didn’t want & only 1 on FCUM that I asked for.
    Forza FCUM – A better way for football.
    The Revolution will not be televised it will be live & it will be at FCUM.
    Hasta Victoria Siempre.
    Goodbye PL flawed business model.
    (btw superb coverage & at Brighton. Thank you ESPN for showing at a time to suit fans NOT tv schedules.)
