Should be renamed Fever Pitch: The Rise of Manchester United.
Seriously, this documentary, as well as it's made, would have been a lot better had it stuck to telling the story of the Premier League's foundation as a WHOLE instead of through the point of view of Manchester United. Everything within this documentary was told in relation to United, take Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal and Newcastle United, they weren't treated in this documentary as clubs that were trying to win the title for themselves, they were portrayed as the clubs that wanted to beat Manchester United to the title.
It was such a United circlejerk that even Arsenal's crowning moment in 1998 only got what felt like two minutes of airtime, whilst Manchester United's CHAMPIONS LEAGUE win in '99... yep, not Premier League, CHAMPIONS League, got about fifteen minutes airtime.

Shame really. This could have been great.
