Helen Chamberlain take a bow 👏

Blaming the CL when it was Sky Sports and the Premier League is ridiculous. As soon as PL TV money increased the FA Cup dropped in importance for teams in the top flight. She’s either wrong or excusing her long-time employer

Tv misses Helen

Manu not playing in the FA cup was also to do with the FA trying to get the world cup here. Was disgusted but annoys me that people always blame united and never point the finger at the FA

All well and good, but her take on United in the 99/00 season is off. The govt at the time leant on them to go to Brazil because they wanted the 2006 World Cup, while the FA wouldn't allow 2nd string sides, meaning they couldn't do both. How does this still get missed?

Were Manchester United not requested by the F.A. To not not take part that year in order to showcase English football 🧐 agree with the rest of helens rant 👍

@jimbolee12 A bit of a stretch on a number of her points and of course the irony of her being employed by the organisation responsible for much of it at the time. It might also be worth her researching the real story behind why United withdrew from the FA cup

Her paymaster at sky are destroying football. Kinda makes her a hypocrite.

@NickyAllt Absolute bolloks. The premier league and sky killed the FA Cup. Who did Helen work for again?

The champions league didn’t cause the end of anything of which she speaks. Live premier league football did and who pioneered and first broadcast that? Her former employers at Sky Sports Shes right and I agree with her. But she’s utterly compromised by her association with Sky

@HellsBellsy hasn't a clue. If she done even an ounce of research she will learn that it was the fa and the UK government putting huge pressure on utd to pull of the fa cup and play at the club world cup because they thought it would help get the world Cup. Anything for clicks
