The CEO of the Premier League, Richard Masters – yes, he really is called Dick Masters, a great name for a brothel – reckons £14.95 a game is a ‘defensible’ price for a ‘premium product’. And by premium he means games like the recent, record-breaking Burnley West Brom 0-0 thriller.
MASTERS – DICK
Yes, you read right. According to Masters, the game was ‘record-breaking’ and the Premier League reckon any moaning minnies can take that right up the jacksy. In fact, he said, it broke multiple Premier League records.

We chatted with Dickie Masters – making sure we kept it brief, as he charges a record-breaking twelve quid a minute for any conversation. He said the game broke records as Branislav Ivanović became the oldest outfield player to debut for a Premier League team since Peter Crouch for Burnley against Southampton in February 2019.
We pointed out that it’s not really a record then but Masters was having none of it. In fact, he nearly choked on his three-shot mocca-chocca-cino. ‘It is one since 2019 so it counts. And besides,’ he went on, ‘out of all 48 matches in this goal-fest of a season, that was the ONLY game that ended 0-0. Like I say, multiple records.’ Hoping not to make the conversation last any longer than our £42.30 would allow, we asked if a goal-drought record was worth paying £14.95 to witness. Especially if you’ve already more than likely coughed up for multiple TV subscriptions and possibly season tickets.
Dickie scoffed “If mugs- er, fans are stupid- sorry, loyal enough to cough up like morons- er true supporters, then we’d be fools not to take their money.” He continued, as the pay-per-word clock mercilessly ticked on, “We wouldn’t dare insult them. We take our lead from the Premier League clubs who care deeply about their supporters.”
