Utter crap if it happens. In fact, I'd boycott all things Premiership. How would decided who plays who for the 39th round of fixtures. Lunacy!

I'd probably do the same. In fact, if we got promoted and started playing a few games abroad, I'd probably begin to lose passion for supporting my team and start following a lower league side. If I can't see my team, in my city, then really, what is the point?
There is only so much us fans can take; they can only push us so far before many of us feck off altogether.
I went to Madrid and Vienna....

Agreed, but probably to be replaced by supporters who have no objection to the idea of football as pure entertainment product and can't even work out why anyone would object to maximising revenue generation (there appeared to be something of this in Mihir Bose's quote, and you can bet 'Spoony' will find it an exciting idea). Of course, the vast majority of such supporters will opt to follow a big club because they prefer to consume success, so where that leaves three quarters of the Prem is anyone's guess.
Yes we have plenty of them "badger in mating season and all of that crap"
Milan is keeping him away on this subject though because he tends to make a fool of himself some times in front of the press, he is funny though!
It's a shame that it has come down to our Chairman having to vindicate what Hollobrian has been saying about why he left, I dont mind him going to a better job and a bigger club but to lie about it is not on.
Have a good game i will enjoy it!
Quality stuff, have you got any more? Can I suggest Hollowdave and HollowBernard for starters?
Nice of him to admit that IH went to a better job and a bigger club though
Well, I've done Brighton now, or rather it did me! I've some old friends I'd like to look up in San Fransisco
Am I right in thinking that in theory (if Leicester and Derby were both in the Prem for insance) we could be playing a crucial game no where near the East Midlands?
Shocking
I'm very suspicious of this proposal in terms of its advantage to 'the big clubs'. There is clearly no way that a city will want the game that it has bid for to be something like Sunderland v Derby when another City has got Arsenal v Chelsea or Manchester Untied v Liverpool - so what do the Premier League intend to do to avoid that? Oh yes, they're going to seed it so the big clubs can;t play against each other.
Or - to put it another was, they are going to make sure that the big clubs each play against a smaller club - and hey presto, another three easy points comes their way. Wouldn't you just love to be the club that has the privilege of playing the shaggers three times this season?
How do they think of these things? How much more are they going to corrupt our game?
