Top clubs consider overseas games

The BBC has just posted this news item that the Premier league is considering extending the season by 10 extra games. These games would be played at a variety of overseas venues. How mental is that?
I originally read this as being ten extra games for each team but what it actually equates to is that teams play 39 matches a season instead of 38. The proposal is that the top teams avoid each other and a lottery is made of the remaining teams to see who plays who. What happens if the top team draws a match against the bottom team? How unfair would that be? Not just to the teams involved but to their rivals?

Liverpool FC bounce back

We were robbed! I was totally gutted by last nights result. No, don't get me wrong, I know we lost and I accept that, BUT... Am I the only person alive that watched the repeats of the first Anzaghi goal and thought that it was a handball? He clearly raises his arm as the ball strikes him and deflects into the goal. Had this been seen the result could have been very different. Oh well, hindsight huh. Best sit tight and hope Rafa spends his bankroll wisely this summer.
