I honestly don’t think it will the back lash from the fans would be too much. The whole 39th game thing is a sham. The idea that teams play an extra game against ??? meaning each side no longer have the same schedule is somehow meant to be fairer than clubs giving up a home game in alternate years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 How? Clubs are incredibly greedy and don’t care much about the opinions of fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get all that but personally think the clubs will get met with too much resistance to games abroad. Guess time will tell . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Referee Bobby Madley has quit. Strong rumours on Twitter that there's a video of him shagging a Jack Russell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I will be very surprised if the PL doesn’t try to cash in on going abroad. I think most of the owners are probably quite annoyed that La Liga has done it first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're incredibly naive. The domestic fans don't matter worth a fk now. As soon as they work out a way acceptable to the clubs it will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastermind Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Maybe it will improve the quality though, no matter how much money they've thrown at it it still lags miles behind la Liga which isn't nearly as rich. They're obviously doing something wrong in the premiership.More people across the world watch the ‘Premiership’ than La Liga, so the quality can’t be too bad. It’s a phenomenal success story. Meanwhile La Liga have had to introduce a rule that sees clubs fined if their stadiums get too empty, and now this decision to move games out of the country. They really are failing to keep up despite having Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico (although the rest are pretty dross). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) The only surprise here is that Mintermind doesn't think it's an absolutely amazing, outstanding, brilliant idea for the greatest league in the world to play a game abroad infront of the worldwide fantastic audience.

La Liga has been the number one ranked league in Europe for about twenty years champ. It shits all over the EPL.

Peppino Impastato Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 And let's be honest, 13/14 of the sides in the EPL are utter dross. La Liga has more quality at the top of the league q and all the way through it. Teams like Bournemouth Huddersfield Burnley Newcastle etc are utter shite. Villarreal would arse rape 80% of EPL teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Sevilla (who have won the Europa league five times in eleven years btw) put man utd out of the cl last season. Only man city from the EPL would finish top four in la Liga. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 You’ll never hear me say that the EPL is the best league in the world - I challenge anyone to prove what the best league is. It could be La Liga, it could be EPL, it could be Bundesliga. There’s no answer. What is fact is that the EPL is most watched league on the planet, of that there is no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
