39th-game could benefit Asian football 6:20pm on 09 Oct 2008 I agree that a 39th Premier league game is going to be unfair on somebody at some point. So why not play a round of a cup abroad instead? You colud play, for example, the league cup 1/4 finals abroad. The foreigners would get to watch a competative, high(ish) quality game and English teams get to raise their profile abroad. As it would be a cup game at a neutral venue there would be no advantage / disadvantage to anyone. I know that there is always the possibility of say a Rotherham v Swansea (or other lower division matchups)- not exactly appealing for the foreign viewers. But the premier league could also inflict dull games on them (can't see too much interest in Bolton v Sunderland for example).
