If it doesn't feature the Gross Turn I'm OUT.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Combined PL/Music Hall of Fame and Locadia is in with a chance.

 

[GT49er]

Presumably this is to make them some more money?

 

[Questions]

Well The Beatles must be in surely.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Will it be called the 'More Publicity and Backslapping for the Top Six, Premier League Hall of Fame'?

Less chance of an Albion player making an appearance than Waistcoat man picking an Albion player for the Euros imo

I am nominating Robbie Fowler as an early entry

 

[elwheelio]

Self-congratulatory bollocks.

 

[Swansman]

Why not. Its all a bit yank but is also something that could result in interesting discussions, speculation and what not. Fun stuff.

I hope they keep it quite limited. 25 or so initial entries and then adding two players or so per year.

Yeah I don’t mind it. I don’t know why so many people in this country have a problem with us copying the Yanks, they do sport well.

And back slapping? It’s been a massively successful project, a huge international export, so why not?

Bit of fun. Like you say, keep it select though. I nominate King Eric!

Aguero, best ever PL striker. (IMO)

 

[AmexRuislip]

Shirley any player that had floppy hair will qualify for this......

If we are saying the big six is Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Spurs??

I'm interested to know who people would pick from outside the 'big six'?

Le Tissier?
Shearer?
Di Canio?
Ginola (Newcastle)?
Ranieri
Gareth Barry (most appearances)
Gary Speed

Out of those, Shearer will obviously be included.

Well once the super league starts up they can turn this into a memorial instead.

Hall of Shame for those jokers, surely?

National Anthem before every game
Changing the length of the game to the rest of the world
TV timeouts
Rule changes from the rest of the world
World Champions when only North American teams are eligible
No promotion/relegation
Franchise teams

Yep doing sport well

No, beacuse the top six will soon be part of a pirate circus rather than football. Their beatification won't be allowed.

There is the draft though (or is it draught). This would mean that bright youngsters would be forced to singe for Brighton (and, er, Bumley).

I'm IN! (Or am I?).
