NBC want two English games to be played in USA

[DMA's]

Think it will 100% happen but fancy it being a cup game rather than a premier league game (unless they do 2 “rounds” of fixtures over in the states). There is too much money involved and the “big 6” will want it to happen.

End of the day, we are on trajectory to having more fans in the US than in the UK.

United, Liverpool and Arsenal are probably already there.

Playing games in the US is an inevitable scenario.

You are correct. No amount of fan foot stamping will stop it.

The best way to integrate "meaningful" game/s is to have all prem teams have a close season tournament (5 comps of 4 teams around the world). The winner of each tournament earns 3 points at the start of the league season.

That's the sensible solution.

I can see it happening and being used to fuck us.

Play CL game away.

Fly to LA to play the rags 3 days later.

Fly back for home CL match 2 days later

We'd be the home team at the LA match.

Mickey mouse club Manchester City claim home advantage at Disney Land Anaheim.

We've made it.

These American cunts need fucking right off, right now.

Give these cunts a millimetre and they’ll take the fucking lot.

Who cares how many fans we have in America or any team have in America.
It's the English premier league.
Played in England.
Fuck the Yanks.
Fuck playing any games anywhere apart from in England.
Trouble is this will happen.
When it does football is completely fucked

I think the rags should have a game away against Stonehenge, to have a chance of collecting 3 pts.
Offered a rag in work today a £20 bet that they won't win 2 of their remaining 4 league fixtures, which I think is a fair bet.
He declined whilst still gobbing off that we will end up trophyless this season.
Total headfucks the lot of them

We’ve won a couple of trophies already

I agree to a certain extent.

The Premier League is a victim of its own success though.

It's a league watched mostly by foreigners, players mostly by foreigners, managed mostly by foreigners with teams whom are mostly owned by foreigners.

There is nothing "English" left other than it's location where it is played, and let's be honest, if the money for the salaries - in particularly for the mid-table teams - wasn't there and instead in Spain or Italy, most of the foreign players would choose to live and play in those countries.

I wouldn’t mind a home game in say Vegas or New York, assuming they’d cover the expenses for ST holders.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

A game in the US? Who gets to count it as an away fixture and whose fans are fucked over when they find it's one of their home fixtures?

 

[Middedon]

I’m an American and even I think this would be grossly unfair. Pre-season games are fine. But nothing part of the regular schedule. Every single game is on tv here - it’s quite easy to watch. The only thing we’re missing is the in person atmosphere - but we’re not going to get that by watching City play in New Jersey.

Let 'em have Liverpool v United and United v Liverpool next season. Then give them two Championship games the season after - hopefully Liverpool v United and United v Liverpool.
