I am surprised that there is no mention on here, not any that I've seen at least. The story of the formation and rise of the Premier League. Nice bit of nostalgia that should interest all football fans. 
I expect there will be a few comments damning the money saturated 'big clubs' and how they have ruined the 'people's game', but own up everyone, who amongst us would not like to see our CAFC up there playing and winning at the top of the Premier League table.

Come on you Addicksssssss

    I watched it, some cracking footage, the United squad having a party till 4am at “Brucey’s house” despite not winning the title yet, brilliant. The dip in attendances since the World Cup win as well was clear it meant something had to happen.

    It’s hard not to have admiration for the PL I must admit, they should however just take note that a lot of the talent up there comes from the football league, and recognise that with a better distribution of wealth.

    I thought they had the party because they had won the title?
    Even though they had one game to play.

    Had it not been for the invention of the Premier League then there would have been a stronger chance of clubs like Charlton being able to compete at the top of the pyramid, rather than ring-fencing it for just the biggest brands.

    Correct

    I watched it and enjoyed the nostalgia element of it, but also found myself getting wound up by those who made it quite clear they were acting in the interest of making money out of Americanising the game with their silly gimmicks.

    as I saw it they were already assured of the title .. I learnt something from the prog .. I thought that Blackburn won the first Prem title  .. who won the second ?.. Blackburn ? .. all will be revealed .. the emphasis on Mon U and Blackburn was I think to contrast the Goliath v David situations of the two clubs .. as for @o@Off_it's comments about 'the money', there was a lot of comment on the lines of 'we knew that marketing would be crucial' , no bones were made about it, cash and profit were major factors behind the Prem. Interesting also how Murdoch put up £300 Million as seed money, without him would the project have survived?
    One point which wasn't mentioned although it may come up later, was the later Thatcher government's move to make all stadia all seater, a deterrent to hooliganism and a move towards more women and children attending games, this probably made the Premier League and football in general more attractive to the more 'genteel' folk

    Yeah, agree. When David Dein told that story about when he went to an American football game and people kept getting up for hotdogs all the time, you could literally see the pound signs in his eyes.

    United won the first 2 seasons, then Blackburn won in 95.

    Since the Premier League was formed, 49 clubs have played in it. Of those 49, only six - Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Man Utd and Spurs – have played in the top flight every season. And, while the Premier League may pride itself on its competitiveness, only six of the 49 clubs to have played in it have actually won it.

    Just SIX  permanents .. so that dispels any notion of 'ring fencing' .. London  and Lancashire rule .. no midlands or north east clubs.
    AND if you compare the six Prem with the pre-Prem winners, there is not a lot of difference ..      List of English football champions - Wikipedia

    I’d be keen to see the disparity in the clubs that finish in the top 4-6 places pre and post Premier League formation. 

    Leicester’s achievement of breaking the top 6 in recent years certainly feels like a major rarity that went against every trend going.

    Remember beating Swindon at their place with a Kim Grant winner years ago. They'd just sold Fjortoft that week i think and we all did his famous airplane celebration while singing damn busters! Seems like a lifetime ago!
