The president of football's world governing body Fifa has told the BBC that plans by the Premier League to host games abroad will never happen.

Excellent news , this would have been awful if it ended up going ahead.

I don't think this will happen at all. There are too many people against it happening. Read it all on the BBC Football website.

Why can't you see us getting into Europe? We beat you didn't we? All we need is a little bit of form. Oh and by the way, we already play in Europe. Unless the UK has pulled out of Europe.

FA concerned over top-flight plan

The Football Association has told Fifa it has serious reservations over the Premier League's proposal to play additional top-flight games abroad.

I don't see why they are changing it? Surely its unfair also?

Its either going to be unfair or Rigger.

Unfair that say the top two teams are level on points but the team in 1st position are top with better goal difference, but for their 39th game they play Liverpool and lose. But the team in 2nd place play Derby and win, they then win the league. That is not fair!! Each team has to play the same teams the same amount of times.

Also if they make the top 4 teams play each other and then the rest of the league play each other but randomly then thats fixed. As one team who is close to relegation may play the 5th position team and lose, and another team who is just inside the relegation zone plays the bottom team and wins, they will overtake the other team and they will be relegated.

Its never going to work, its just not fair. The only way to make it fair is to play another 19 games abroad!!

Aye put the downers on it! Mad idea anyhow.

RedRabbit · 15-02-2008, 22:14

it will happen. there will be more than enough money to go around.
The only backlash is that the UK won't get the 2018 World Cup

t wont happen- if the fa and fifa are against it it would be impossible as they need the approval of both of them (and the foreign fa- who are mainly against it as well) to do it
