james 1 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Now you can have some bottles of beer to celebrate you fear, Arwebb. Lol....hahaha. I think that was the greatest ideal that has ever came out of English league but , they were too scared of FIFA ruling body. Well, it right they follow FIFA rules... I hope they consider it in the future cos I want to see Asernal, Chelsea or Man Utd play in my country. I don't care about what people think or FIFA! Link to post Share on other sites

james 1 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal Courtesy of BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/e...rem/7298246.stm This is the type of match I wanted to see played in my country. It would have been the best encounter so far of any international matches in Nigeria. EPL needs to start considering other option of this kind. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2054 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You aren't going to see the big matches moving from England! Mind you, they're normally pretty dull affairs and if it means we don't have to hear the words "Grand Slam Sunday" (eurggh) I'd be happy for you to take them. Link to post Share on other sites
arwebb 133 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 There's an old saying which you clearly need to be told, James - "I want never gets". This idea, for the time being at least, is as dead as the proverbial dodo. Link to post Share on other sites
