Photo / APFans of Liverpool and Manchester United called for the removal of their clubs' American owners during protests outside their stadiums prompted by the ill-fated European Super League project on Saturday. Several hundred Arsenal fans gathered outside Emirates Stadium on Saturday ahead of its Premier League game against Everton to protest against their club's American ownership. The Liverpool fans outside Anfield today greeted the players and management with warm applause as the team bus arrived at the stadium for the Newcastle game. A statement published Saturday by Chelsea expressed "regret" at members of its hierarchy getting involved in the Super League proposals, though there was no apology.
