The English Premier League is considering playing some matches overseas, BBC Sport has learned.
At a meeting in London on Thursday, all 20 clubs agreed to explore a proposal to extend the season to 39 games.
Those 10 extra games would be played at venues around the world, with cities bidding for the right to stage them.
It is understood the additional fixtures could be determined by a draw but that the top-five teams could be seeded to avoid playing each over.
This is a chance for the Premier League to showcase its product around the world.
I agree with that.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...em/7232390.stm

No, no, no, no, no.
Simply because it is not fair. Some of the lesser teams will have to face some of the top 4. If they played some exhibition matches, maybe, but not proper Premiership matches.

Bad idea.

On what grounds?
