US should host premier matches


what a joke, this is wrong on so many levels, where do you start. First, could you imagine Real Madrid or Barcelona telling their 100,000 members they will be playing one game less at home. Second who is going to lose their home advantage, because that is what would be happening. Third let's face they won't want to watch Portsmouth and Fulham, they will want United and Arsenal or United and the scouse. So lets say that the proposal gets the go ahead, who loses their home game, in what will be a game that will almost certainly have a bearing on the title race. Do we play both games over there to make it fair to both sides. What would be the point of buying a season ticket if you are going to miss one of the biggest games of the season. This is the obvious outcome of allowing our top teams to be bought by foreigners with no idea of the traditions of the sport. Sure they will probably poo poo this idea for now, but whats the betting that this does eventually happen. I for one would not bet against it.

But for how long do they support the collective deal, until the debt gets too big, and a massive tv offer come in ?

A pretty depressing read, if he is really on the ball in his opinion, and i fear he might be, it looks like i won't have anybody to vote for at the next election.

As British politics veers further and further to the free market right, the real powerhouse of Europe is going the other way. And which country has a fundamentally sound economy and which has a totally unbalanced economy. We will find out in the next few years, and then it will be a race back to the left.

Of course the free market works really, no really
