Being an Arsenal supporter in Canada, I may be a little biased on this subject, but I’m all for it and will drive to any city in North America if Arsenal were to play a game here.

The idea is ridiculous. Indeed, how would such a system ever work? The Champions League serves perfectly well as a way play foreign teams. This would only complicate matters and fuel the already congested fixture list.

Big No, No from me.

if it is a 39 game season that has to mean that a team will play another side three times but all the others twice. Obviously they will pick Manchester Utd v Liverpool, Arsenal v Tottenham, Chelsea v West Ham etc but then surely for some clubs thy get an easier extra game and a chance for 3 simple points, despite the talk of seedings.
If you are going to do it, it should stay as a 38 game season (i agree with kev on player burnout) and one game like ManU v Liverpool should be played abroad…obviously Man U wouldnt agree to that as they’d lose the old trafford revenue hence they shamelessly try to play Liverppol three times and rake it in.
i expect some fans to go on strike for this, we could see some empty stadiums and shirt sales plummeting in the coming months.

Yes, time to reward the legions of foreign fans that have fuelled the EPL, and perhaps win a few new fans for the non-big4 teams.

But of course it should be done properly to avoid player exhaustion and teams just going overseas to have a holiday.

Hope it happens, I’m excited!

This would only result in more cash for the chairmen of the clubs (many from overseas) and more to the already grossly overpaid players, who would want more recompense for their extra games, travel fatigue (!!!), etc, and I do not think that much would find its way back into the game.
Extra travelling costs would be incurred for any supporters wanting to fly to the overseas venues, as if the current costs of existing matches was not enough.
If the additional matches were on the basis of being drawn “out of a hat” and if the points would qualify for the actual league, then this would be horrendously unfair to clubs such as Derby if drawn against Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, etc, especially if their fellow strugglers were drawn againt less imposing opposition.

The English are so full of themselves.

Not content with annointing themselves as the best league in the world, now they have assumed that everyone is dying to watck the kick-and-rush that the EPL serves up.

What makes them think that cities will bid to host the kinds of rubbish that Chelsea vs Liverpool serves up?

Vincent, your sweeping generalisation on the thoughts of a footballing nation are way off the mark.It’s the greed of the EPL big-wigs like Scudamore you should be targeting not ‘the English.’
