Yeah, I guess theres a caveat on what you define as Middle East. Villa’s partial owner, Sawiris, is Egyptian and I guess that’s more North Africa than Middle East, but point still stands in my opinion

Name one team in the PL that the US government owns? I can name a couple teams that are owned by Arab/Middle Eastern governments. The owners of Fulham, Everton, and Villa are partially or fully middle eastern. BUT they're not part of the government so they don't get criticisms of the countries they were born in or represent.

Yeah, you're right, John Henry was the one who okay'd the invasion of Iraq and Kuwait. I've personally seen many congressional meetings where they discuss whether to play a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-1-2.

As nice as it is to finally happen, 4 of the last 5 seasons if they even got a 2 point deduction, Liverpool would have more titles...
