Wenger: Game 39 dead
Manager Arsène Wenger has said that the Premier League's plans for a 39th game were dead, as it did not have the backing of key names in the footballing world.
Wenger said: "The idea looks to be dead, maybe because the idea came out in a brutal way and maybe the PR was not done.
"Now it looks to be an idea which is in a very difficult position.
"I was open-minded but as well I will not cry if it doesn't happen.
"I just felt there was something to explore there which will now not be done.
"It looks difficult to resurrect now because Uefa, Fifa and The FA have come out against it. It is a big stream to swim against now."
