With the hot news that some Premier League matches could be played abroad
from 2011to further the league's global appeal, here are some suitably tongue-in
-cheek locations for the 20 current incumbents to call their second home.
Arsenal - Paris
For years people have been saying that Arsene Wenger has been running a
French Embassy at the Gunners so why not pitch up at the Stade de France?
Aston Villa - Rome
Tom Hanks: "What suburb of Rome is Aston Villa from?"
Birmingham - Memphis
Home of the Blues
Blackburn Rovers - Tokyo
Mark Hughes' martial arts brand of football will truly be appreciated in the
homeland of karate.
Bolton - Qatar
Qatar is like a retirement pasture for old Bolton players anyway, so it is a great
way to get them acclimatised.
Chelsea - Moscow
Don't think this one needs spelling out!
Derby County - Auckland
There are apparently four sheep for ever human in New Zealand, so a few lost
Rams won't look out of place.
Everton - Lagos
Seems as good a place as any to start the search for Yakubu!
Fulham - San Francisco
A city that already has its fair share of Cottagers.
Liverpool - Dubai
What better way to woo the investors than playing in their backyard?
Manchester City - Rio de Janeiro
Makes Sven's scouting missions easier.
Manchester United - Calais
Closer than Old Trafford for most United fans.
Middlesbrough - Berlin
A lot of clubs would want to play in the impressive Olympiastadion but it's not
what you know, it's Huth you know.
Newcastle United - Antarctica
Plenty of ready made black-and-white clad fans and a few degrees warmer than
the Geordies are used to.
Portsmouth - Naples
Play up Pompeii...
Reading - Hay-on-Wye
Apparently loads of people go there for reading anyway.
Sunderland - Dublin
Everything else about the club is Irish, including the chairman and manger, so the
home ground might as well be.
Tottenham Hotspur - Dallas
They love Spurs in the Wild West.
West Ham - Marbella
It's the obvious getaway for East End wideboys, innit?
Wigan - Las Vegas
Titus Bramble's Travelling Slapstick Show would be the hottest ticket in town.
