NBC want two English games to be played in USA

Don’t the yanks love College football as much as the NFL ?

How about PL U21’s player out in America instead as a compromise.

My kids tell me Arsenal is #1 for PL support at their Yankee school, tinternet influencers, whatever that means

In the 2 places I’ve lived. Boston and Tampa, outside of the rags and red scouse, Chelsea are by far the biggest supported team. Arse heavily out number us in Tampa. We have the numbers but only for the cup finals. Chelsea and Arse come out way more each week

Certainly areas without a Pro NFL team. Their stadiums are way bigger too.
Was in the Mad Hatter in NY once watching City and afterwards it was the Oklahoma derby - State College v University. The place was packed with fans from both sides going bonkers

may aswell start to prepare for the inevitable and embrace it i guess.

No absolutely not. It’s unfair on fans, players and an absolutely shit idea.

Fans can stop it in a heartbeat if they fucking kick off about it.

Just to play devil's advocate, they play NFL games in the UK every now and again don't they and there's clearly loads of people in the UK who think that's a great idea.

There's probably some miserable old twats on the Detroit Lions forum moaning that 'the game's gone' as they're playing matches abroad ;)

Always love an opportunity to dig out this classic anyway

I said the same thing to a Gooner friend years a go when the FSA were campaigning against Game 39.
He told me he was off to Wembley to watch a Yankee game and i asked him if that was hypercritical given the fact he objects to English games being played overseas. He replied had fan groups in the US objected to games being played in Wembley then he wouldn't have gone but there was no objections.... which I thought was a weak response.

I would not object to City away at Anfield going to the states.
