The 39th game smacks of real arrogance

The boo boys may be right for a change as Richard Scudamore and crew throw up as big a stinker as Wigan v Derby.

There it was. Like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the Premier League had just given birth to the next level of evolution. World dominance was the goal. Except it was more like Dr Evil, Austin Powers’ sworn enemy.

‘... if the Premier League decides that it will sanction this game as being a potential decider I would be pretty peeved if my team were to win the title or get relegated in Outer Mongolia.’

Yes, according to the duties of the Premier League, they are mandated to increase the commercial value of the league but it seems as if they have chosen to ignore the part where they are to use their power and influence responsibly

The knives came out quickly from all corners, with a few giving considered support for the plan for a 39th match to be played in some far-flung corner of the globe.

However, I find the plan of no significant advantage to anyone, particularly, and most importantly, to the real stakeholders of the game.

On the other hand, the 13 spectators present at Yak-Stadium in Ulaanbaatar will experience the best 90 minutes of their lives.

This idea highlights the problems surrounding this country as a whole. The super rich trying to get richer by exploiting the average joe that made them what they are today! Yes lets bring in cheaper labour from abroad even if it sacrifices the English working class person, yes lets move a 39th premier league game to another country, sod the poor bloke thats forked out for a season ticket to see his team play all season and then every season we can move one more game abroad until people become used to it! when is this bullsh*t going to end! Would the real men 65years ago really have bothered fighting for this country if they could have seen it today!!!!

The name of the country is Mongolia, not Outer Mongolia as the view is expressed by the Chinese. Mongolia is a sovereign country; it was founded in 1206 and recognized in the 1920's.
