I quite like the idea
Would be cool to see Man Utd - Arsenal in China!
Gives clubs a much bigger fan base as well etc, don't see why it shouldn't happen tbh. That wouldn't happen, they are planning to seed the top 5 clubs so they can't play each other...now think about this, its the last game of the season and you need to win to stay up, your club has pulled man utd as the 39th game, where as sunderland are playing derby.....not exactly fair?? it just doesn't work, what a stupid idea |

Plays in midfield and his name is Tommy Miller,
signed him from Huddersfield his name is Tommy Miller,
first touch is average but his second is a killer,
heeeeeey Tommy Miller!

ok, well you'd be fucked off and if your extra game was against any of the top 4-5?
why should you have to play them for a 3rd time, it just upsets the balance..
also aren't premiership clubs always complaining they play to many games?? :-))(

The main problem i have, is that they can't use the NFL game over here as a template. The Yanks are trying to spread their national game to other countries, because no-one really gives a shit about it outside their own colony.
But football is already a global sport, massive in pretty much every country, except America. I actually think that playing a game or 2 in the US would make sense, almost a cultural exchange with NFL. What's actually going to happen is purely greed. Money grabbing cunts

Does that mean lower leagues will have to play abroad also could be a good trip for us, somewhere sunny with cheap beer - Oxford would probably get one of the outer Solomon Islands  |

I love it when they say "but we've got fans all over the world - It's only fair for them".
Big news, "The World" is quite big. If Man U play in Sydney, how does that help the rest of the world wide support ?
Oh, and how is the extra game going to help England, with all the travel ?. - kind of makes the plea for a mid season break a bit fatuous as well. Just means that the FA cup will be reserve teams only for the money grabbing gits.

He acknowledges the fact that the fans are against the idea and supports them in that, but suggests it might harm our chances of hosting the World Cup?
Ok so hosting it here would bring in money etc but where it is held is more about the fans than anything

it's an idle threat, he seems to be misguided in thinking the premier league, as opposed to the FA, give a fuck about the world cup.
