Just a quickie to say the blighters are at it again. You would think they would listen to the people who support the game but oh no they think their better than us. After the "success" of the Champions league final in Russia with Man Utd and Chelsea, the Idiots at the top are thinking this is proof of it working permanently. Well join us in continuing to say no to game 39.

Still No to Game 39
I ahve been off doing some other things recently and thought this "idea" was safely buried btu it seems to have reared its ugly head again. Well I still say no to Game 39!!!.
So I last left you with the news that the 39th game idea was in tatters as stated by the Reading Chairman, John Madejski. It was also the case that the Fifa president, Sepp Blatter was against the idea and said that int would never happen in his tenure as footballs El Supremo. So Richard Scudamore's plans for an extra game in the Pemiership looked scuppered and left dead and buried. Even the FA thought there was no chance of success.
But then Things looked to have turned the corner when the Premier league said they wanted to meet the FA todiscuss plans and then some donley thought, 'Hey, lets take this to FIFA'. Thankfully this never happened and the FA and the Premier League decided that the extra game 39 plan wasnt quite complete to present to FIFA. More like they knew they would get laughed out of the meeting room.
I say three cheers to Mr Blatter for stating that this proposal would hurt Englands bid for the 2018 World cup, becuase if that wasnt the case and he had expressed even the slightest interest then the Premier League and the Football Association of England would have pitched this idea forward. And then where would we be. probably chasing a losing battle but thankfully thats what the Premier League and anyone that supports this daft idea is doing.
I would like all you readers (probably a whole 2 of you!!) to pass word around of this blog and the following links (send them this blog then you only have that 1 thing to remember):
The Football Supporters Federation have a campaign against the 39th Game over here -

Theres also a couple of petitions you could all sign up to and it cost nothing but a few seconds -

Game 39 Idea in Tatters
Richard Scudamore's plans to have a 39th game in the English Premiership to be played abroad are in tatters according to John Madejski, the chairman of Reading football club. Although the Premier Leagues top man (RS) had previously stated that all 20 clubs are behind the idea, Reading's Chief has slammed Scudamore for not properly consulting all the governing bodies before going public with the idea.
Sepp Blatter has previously stated that this idea would not happen as long as he was president of Fifa and as such has left the plans dead in the water. Many football associations, if not all, will follow Fifa's lead and as such many have distanced themselves from hosting any extra Premiership game on their soil. The only region to be in favour of the idea is the Middle East.
The latest person to come out against the idea is Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone, now chairman of Queens Park Rangers. He stated that to follow this idea woudl destroy the Premier League as it currently is and that things should be left as they are as there is already a decent following.
In a bit of more good news, Richard Scudamore has been told that if he continues to push the idea of game 39 then he will be putting his job on the line. Liek he hasnt done that already!!

Even the FA distance themselves from 'Game 39'
So Fifa's Sepp Blatter has slammed the idea of the Premiership playing a 39th game somewhere else in the world and as such basically scupered the whole idea. On the back of that, the English FA, previously very quiet on the whole affair, ahve come out to say it has "serious reservations" over the Premier League's proposal to play additional top-flight games abroad.
Since Sepp Blatter stated that irt could also damage Englands hopes of staging the World Cup in 2018 it seems the FA want to take damage limitation and protect their bid. The FA said: "We don't want the Premier League's proposal to affect England's 2018 World Cup bid in any way. At this time, we do not believe it has."
The Premier Leagues chief exec, Richard Scuda(always wanting)more however is still intent on discusing the proposals with FIFA. The FA are maintaining that they have yet to see the plans in a written document and have only received a verbal outline of the proposals to date.
Well heres a message to you FIFA. Well Done for standing up and speaking out against this idea. And heres another message for you boys at the FA. Grab your balls for once and make a proper stand against this ludicrous idea. It will only destroy the national game. We are all saying "No to Game 39" and so should you.

Game 39 is “Unsustainable”
David Davies, the former FA chief executive has said that the Premier League's proposal to play games abroad is "unlikely to survive".
"The current plan, at least as described in the public domain, is very hard to sustain - it has taken a pounding. There wasn't a widespread consultation and the fireworks have gone off."
David Davies also expects the FA to regroup following the public slaughtering the proposals have received and to revise the plans to make them more ‘user friendly’ and more acceptable by Fifa. As the idea presently stands, Sepp Blatter has publicly shunned the idea and said it would never happen during his tenure as President of the worlds football governing body, FIFA.
Rafael Benitez is the latest Premiership manager to speak out against the idea stating “To play another game in another country is not right. You must play here in England with the same opportunities for every team."
Heres a brief roundup of whats been said so far from around the globe:
The Middle East is generally up for it as you would expect so that they can bring more international recognition to their region and leading this is the UAE (Up for Anything Emirates) and Saudi Arabia, although they are only interested with the big teams. Qatar have also expressed an interest although they do state that they have yet to be approached as yet.
Australia has shunned the whole idea and said that it would prefer to concentrate on developing its own football league. They do not believe that a national league should do a world tour whilst competing in their own league competition.
America has no interest according to the president of the US Soccer (its football God damn it!!) Federation, Sunil Gulati. He goes on to say, “We've been reluctant to have official games played in the US. We'll be guided by Fifa on this matter. But if it's not in line with its rules then we won't sanction it." Meanwhile the Major League Soccer (Football) Deputy Commissioner, Ivan Gazidis, has said "We will have to wait and evaluate the proposal. I don't see it as a negative for MLS, but the implications go beyond these games on their own. There are implications for the game worldwide. There are implications when matches are taken across borders in this way."
Asia have also publicly shunted the idea of a 39th game. 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. "We'll vote strongly against it. The Premier League is putting money before responsibility and dignity. As far as Asia is concerned, I'm not supportive of this initiative. I wish the people in charge of the Premier League would think twice about organising any matches outside England in Asia. Friendly matches I'm not against. I welcome that. But I cannot digest at all that a different league will be played in another country than its own. There was no consultation, I just read about it in the newspapers. But the recommendation as far as this is concerned will be no. There's no question of the Premier League organising such a match in Asia.” So that looks to be a no then!

No to Game 39 Latest
So whats the latest news with the Premierships plans for a 39th Premier league ‘show’ game to be played in a foreign country.
Well Sepp Blatter, the current president of the world’s football governing body FIFA, has slammed the whole idea. He goes on to state that it would never happen as long as he is president of FIFA and that if the FA and Premiership continue to push the idea, it could harm Englands chances of hosting the World Cup in 2018.
"This does not take into consideration the fans of the clubs and it gives the impression that they just want to go on tour to make some money," Blatter said.
"The Premier League is richer than the others, they have more responsibility and what they are trying to do is contrary to this responsibility," he said.
"This is something I cannot understand and definitely the Fifa executive committee will not sanction such an initiative."
The Premiership clubs will consider the plans to extend the season to 39 games with the extra matches taking place overseas very shortly. However it is becoming widely publicly known that the idea faces huge resistance in Asia, Europe and the fans in England.
On a positive note for English fans Sepp Blatter's stance on the idea effectively leaves the proposal of a round of games to take place in five different host cities from January 2011, dead in the water.
Fifa will examine the Premier League's proposals at its executive committee meeting on 14 March.
On the flip side the UAE, that’s the Up for Anything Emirates to you and I, Stated that they were all for the idea and that Dubai would be a perfect place to host some of these matches. Well what do you expect from a country that wants to build the whole world just off its shoreline.
So that’s about it for the latest round of news and gossip on the Premierships latest barmy idea. Lets make it easier for them and shout real loud “hell no to game 39”!!!!!

Say No To Game 39
So the English Premiership want to screw up the beutiful game by introducing an extra game to be played abroad. For what reason????? Money. Its always money. They say its to attract a wider world audience. We say "I see behind your lies". The Premiership are getting greedy and are wanting bigger bucks for a product that already rakes in millions, possibly even billions.
The blog is to keep you updated and to post news clippits from around the globe on the latest happenings. In addition it offers you all a point to add your views. Just click on the comments section at the bottom of this post and add your point of view. I shall post a few select choices to get the idea to the FA and the Premiership that all their doing for the game is sweet FA. If per chance you are in favour then please also leave a comment. You may have a very valid point that none of us has thought about.
So before you begin leaving your comments by the thousands, hundreds, dozens or even drizzles (the most likliest option) let me lay down the brief history with the assistance of the BBC.
Way back in October 2007, Eggert Magnusson (West Ham chairman) stated that the Premiership should host games in the USA to boost its global scale. We all laughed and scoffed at the funny little Icelandic man and said not on your nelly. In fact a Premier League spokesman said there were no current plans for a move. "I just don't see it happening," said the spokesman. "With the way the league is structured - on a one-home, one-away basis - you would damage the integrity of the competition by fiddling with the dynamic of the League."
So there you have it. All went quite on the western (and global) front. But then this happened on February 7th:
"English domestic football could be about to undergo yet another revolution.
On Thursday, the 20 Premier League clubs agreed to look into the possibility of playing an extra round of matches every season - abroad. "
The papers and TV went crazy with the follow up hype reporting which managers were in favour and doing word on the street rounds. Most were against but here is a snippet of Premiership managers, players and directors that had their own thing to say:
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson
"What disappoints me is (United chief executive) David Gill phoned me and said 'keep this quiet, we are going to discuss it' and then it's all over the papers this morning. They can't keep their mouth shut down there.
"I think if they are going to do these things, they should have been enquiring and having discussions with managers and players before they come out with all this stuff and make an issue of it."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger
"I'm not against an innovative attitude if it respects the competitive side of our league, if it respects the fans and promotes the quality of our Premier League."
Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan
"I don't necessarily think it is a bad thing. From what I understand, it has been well thought out. The trouble with a lot of people is when something new comes into the arena, they want to find reasons to knock it. I am not against change."
Reading chairman John Madejski
"I think it's common sense that teams should do one match abroad every year. I don't have a problem with it at all. The fans are extremely lucky that they see a wonderful array of foreign talent playing here in England."
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp
"Clubs could become like the Harlem Globetrotters. It will start with one game and then next year or the year after until eventually I can see us playing quite a few games in different parts of the world."
Reading goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann
"In principle, it sounds like a great idea - bring more money into the clubs - but on the other side, people will say they are already making enough money. I think our team made £50m last year so how much more do they need? That's what the fans are going to say because they have season tickets and they want to see every game."
Birmingham co-owner David Gold
"We are making history. The Premier League, which is the greatest league the world has ever known, is being adventurous. I find this amazingly exciting."
Tottenham chief executive Daniel Levy
"All that was decided that as a major league, it is something that we ought to examine. We do have lots of overseas fans that are unable to come to matches played in the UK so I think it is something that should be explored."
Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn
"We have only agreed to explore something, nothing more than that. When we find out more I'll be able to tell you if it is a good idea. We really are at step A and not step B or C."
Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore
"This is purely down to money. The Premier League want more money from global advertising rights. As a player, the league schedule is as congested as it ever has been. The notion that teams could go through a hectic December and January with one then going off to play in Cairo and another in Los Angeles - with all the travelling and commitments - is absolute nonsense."
Wigan manager Steve Bruce
"It's bad enough with international friendlies, let alone going overseas. I read the other day that games are going out to 22 or 23 countries. It's quite unbelievable, it gets everywhere, so I wouldn't be surprised, although there will be a few irate people. Can you imagine going to Fergie (Sir Alex Ferguson) and telling him 'by the way, you're not playing at home this week, you are playing in Japan'? I'd like to see it!"
Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate
"Is it April 1? I find it highly unlikely it would happen. I wouldn't think it would be a realistic proposition."
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson
"It is obviously a marketing thing. I would have to have a clearer picture of what is behind this marketing idea - I would have to find out more about it. One extra game of football a year, as long as the calendar can be sorted out, that doesn't seem to be a deal-breaker - but I have no real opinions at the moment on whether it is a good deal or a bad deal."
Former Northern Ireland and Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez
"The fans here will be up in arms and other national associations won't be too happy about the Premier League coming to their domain and taking sponsors, advertising and revenue from what is their game.
"I managed Fulham when we went to this tournament in Hong Kong with Liverpool and Portsmouth and the fans were so wrapped in it. We played our two games in front of 40,000 people purely because Liverpool were there. How much of a draw smaller teams would be, I'm not sure."
Not a great deal of support there now is there. But things were to develop further over the next few days with the following:
"Football's world governing body Fifa is not convinced by the Premier League's plans to play some games overseas."
Mohamed bin Hammam, the President of the Asian Football Confederation said he is strongly opposed to the Premier League's plan of playing games abroad.
So there we are at present. Post what you can comment wise (but keep it clean peeps) and keep in touch to see whats new.
