It is such a poor idea. Just can't believe the idiots who run the game think it will work.

Arsenal v Spurs in Shanghai.

It just sounds crazy.
The reason why the premier league is so popular is that the rivalries exist in English football and its territorial as much as anything else.

You can't pick up Newcastle v Sunderland and dump it in f**king Hong Kong.
