Today's take on this.....

Sir Rod Eddington is apparently the man who came up with the '39th game' idea and now even he thinks it will not happen. (Daily Mail)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7244057.stm

A former Premier League chief executive says he believes the controversial plan to take top-flight games overseas would "distort" the competition.

Peter Varney, chief executive at Championship side Charlton, says he is strongly opposed to the idea.

"I don't favour it - let's not kid ourselves, this is all about money," Varney told BBC Sport.

"This is a domestic league, it would distort the competition which is so well-regarded all over the world."

Varney believes the 20 Premier League clubs will vote for the proposal because of the money involved.

"This is not about taking the game to overseas fans and thinking that some people would like to see the Premier League in different regions of the world," he added.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7243949.stm

Asian Football Confederation president Mohamed bin Hammam says he is strongly opposed to the Premier League's plan of top-flight clubs playing games abroad.

The English season could be extended by one match with the 39th round being played in five overseas venues.

"We'll vote strongly against it. The Premier League is putting money before responsibility and dignity," Hammam told BBC sports editor Mihir Bose.

"As far as Asia is concerned, I'm not supportive of this initiative."

Wenger and Grant like it as their players won't have so far to go home after the game.

you do not mess with Jack Reacher

In a nutshell.


Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking when I hear the silly things that you say
