The 39th Game
« on: November 05, 2010, 05:58:53 PM »

Liverpool co-owner Tom Werner backs overseas game:-

I thought this would rear its ugly head again but it's a bit quick for the new boys to be spouting off.

Here we go again.

Leaving aside every single other argument, the thing is you know it'll be rigged. 

Liverpool and Man Utd have got American owners and, quelle surprise, they end up playing in the US, Chelsea in Moscow, Citeh in Abu Dhabi and, er, Blues would sell out the Bird's Nest in Beijing.

Everton will play in Thailand courtesy of being sponsored by Chang Beer; Arsenal will be flown to their fixture in Dubai by Emirates.

Meanwhile Blackpool v Wigan will be played in front a flock of sheep in Ulaanbaatar.

Hopefully it'll get the same response everywhere else. It was bloody stupid last time round, just leave it.

The new Prince of Darkness,Richard Scudamore will be creaming himself that a chairman has supported this money making scheme.

  I'm sick and tired of Sky,Talksport celebrating our English model of football like its something to behold. Last week my brother was in Berlin and went to a Hertha Berlin game,and though theyre in the second division now,there was around 40,000 there,it cost him 11 euros to get by paying on the day,you can drink in the stand,and he said the atmosphere was like nothing he's heard in England for years.

 This is the module we should be aiming for,where clubs cannot be run with debt. Not seeking glory hunting supporters in the far east,for all they care the Premier only consists of 3 teams anyway.

Hope they've kept their 'YANKS OUT' banners.
