NBC want two English games to be played in USA

[Spanishbob]

If they want live competitive games then have an Fa Cup round be played there. Let the money be shared by all teams in that round equally. Or maybe the winner of each game gets a bonus that for the smaller clubs would be a massive a financial windfall.

If they made it a "socially beneficial" event maybe football fans who couldn't travel would be understanding.

Also it's not part of a season ticket.

Tis at the swamp I believe.

It's going to happen. We're not going to end up with all games being played over they're though, it's just too showcase and encourage their own league format. Much like the yanks playing American football over here or 1 game in Germany.

It was funny yesterday, on talksport. They were taking to a yank about this very thing and he kept mentioning city because obviously we're bigger over there (than over here or feels like). Didn't mention utd or lfc or arsenal, just City and Chelsea.

Let them stick to "gridiron", rounders and netball for blokes.....

It’ll be the day I pack it in.

This story comes out every 2 years, people get incredibly angry, the PL confirms it’s not talking to anyone about it, has no plans for it, and doesn’t think it will ever happen, and then people forget it for 2 years.

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

Cue the ancient gag about (insert current rag manager's name) being nicked for speeding, and saying; "at last, three points"


Bookings being taken for weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, debs' balls, 21st birthday parties etc etc. Reasonable rates.

They should televise games for the American fans instead.

We get EVERY PL GAME LIVE, with 1 hour pre-game lead in and, at the end of the day’s games, a 30 minute Goal Zone, with the goals from every game.

The show is hosted by a female Palace fan, who is great (and knowledgeable) and includes 2 of 5 or 6 ex-Premier League players as their in-studio pundits.

There’s a reason NBC pays $2Bn for the coverage, and a reason the PL is trying to keep the American $$$$ rolling in…it’s the biggest moneymaker the PL has!

They aren't even gone metric yet and pass footballs to each other from their hands

but more importantly I just can't imagine De Bruyne shrivelling away in the Arizona sun.

And so it begins…

Tell them they can have ALL the FA Cup replays.
