Premier League games to be held abroad

I think Man United must use up all their luck in Champions' League draws.

The year we won it:
Group Stage: United, Bayern, Barcelona, Brondby
Quarter Finals: Inter Milan
Semi: Juventus
Final: Bayern

99/00: we got Real Madrid in the Quarters.
00/01: Bayern in the Quarters

Personally, I think if we beat Lyon, we have a great chance. Lyon have 2 of the best young strikers in the world at the moment, especially Benzema (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MJ_9YTcjxtk) , who I hope replaces Saha in the summer. It'll be tough to get him as he'll be the hottest property in Europe. Hopefully, Fergie moves for him (as he normally does with his targets) before Euro 2008.

Remind me of your argument on why Pepe couldn't be one of the hottest young central defenders of the moment.

I hate to say it, but Helsinki would be more likely to get Wigan v Bolton. Man Utd v Arsenal would go somewhere with a bigger market.

Top teams are going to be seeded.

The way it looks is that the top five teams will be seeded, and five cities will each host two games. One with a top five team, and the other from the rest of the draw. I don't have any objection to premier league teams playing each other abroad, but when it comes to them being official games, that's a problem. It could seriously affect the standings in the premier league.
Why not set up a pre-season turnament instead? Cities could bid to host the tournament each year, with the winner being given a mickey mouse cup. They could get to see a presentation then too.

Could you please ask your Mum and Dad to buy you dictionary for your next birthday?
Elocution lessons may also be advantageous, as they'll allow you to communicate with the rest of the human race.

Thanks.
