Why the "Foreign Round" is the Best Idea in History

Now far be it from me to go against Arseblog (the blog from whence we all came) but I can't imagine why more EPL could ever be a bad thing. Especially if that footy might be played in my City here in the United States of The Best Ever. I'd like to go step by step through some Pros and Cons to really flesh out this issue from an America perspective. While I agree that this is a "money making idea" as Arseblog says, I think there is alot positive in this plan. I chalk most of the general aversion to this plan to old world conservative ways. Also, we on the same side here. Here are my thoughts.

Cons

1. More injuries. A problem but hardly significant with all the damn games anyway.

2. Who plays Who. Trickiest problem but it could be solved by a pairing up 1 vs 20, 2 vs 19 from last year (factoring in relegation) or from a set part of the season. Better yet would be a 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, etc. in order to ensure great games and have an important impact on the championship. Just a thought. What about a bowl system picked by the EPL? Think outside the box people.

3. New season length affects records. Many sports have coped with rule changes and cross era player and team comparisons. This is actually a pro because it leaves more open to debate and conjecture (half the fun of sports). If baseball can handle this, then a sport with almost no stats should be fine.

4. Man U gets even more international fans. What can you do?

5. The EPL players realize that the world outside of England has sunshine, attractive females and palatable food, so they disband and travel the world. 

6. Something actually changes in England. Ever. Will the Monarchy crumble?

Pros

1. 90 more minutes of the beautiful game. What could be better.

2. Finally I don't have to watch a match at a time when only ninjas and crystal meth dealers are awake. You Euros try it some time. It's easy to be a Gooner at Tea Time. 

3.  We have built a great fan base here in NYC.

a. We now out cheer the ManU fans in a ManU bar.

b. I get at least two cheers a day as I walk down the street in my Arse Scarf.

c. We are mostly young Americans. A native fan base of Gooners.

4. Tottenham discovers they have no fans outside of White Hart Lane

5. Expanded awareness of the EPL. Especially in America where sport is way of life. The grounds are fertile, and we could use all the inspiration for our young Team USA.

6. The NFL came to London, and it went great. The NFL is a damn smart organization. Any league should take cues from them. 

7. A chance to establish the EPL as THE soccer league in the world.

8. Again, more of what we love.

9. Most important, Jack gets a day off a Nevada's.

Yes, this is a way to get more billions for so that players can sit in ridiculous future-sideline chairs, more overly dramatic music can be played, and prettier children can escort the players to the pitch, or whatever. But, if it makes more futbol happen, maybe near me, then let's do it.

Now my whole set of Pros is kinda based on Arsenal coming to NYC. This may not happen this year, but we can try to help.

I don't know how the EPL will plan this round (if it happens), but I think we should try to show the league how much we want Arsenal in NYC. This may not do the slightest good, but it'd sure be fun to try. I will start a website where you can pledge your support and I'll contact the EPL (who won't care), Arsenal and its American supporters groups. We have suffered long enough as Gooners in Exile. Unite and lets be heard!
