Player Valuation: £35m
I remember in days gone by (as recently as 2007) the second (or sometimes third) game of the prem season would be midweek.
Midweek games at the start of the season have provided many memorable moments, such as our 3-0 demolition of the manc at OT, Big Dunc's comeback goal against Charlton, Rooney's double against Charlton, our 3-1 masterclass over Spurs at WHL....
.....AND not forgetting that memorable, unbelievable, momentous 1-1 draw against a newly promoted Birmingham in 2002! What a match!
OK, got a bit carried away there, but my point is that wouldn't it be more of an event if we had weekday games again at the start, rather than in November when everyone is cream crackered?
This would give players a mid-season breather, and with Rio 14 coming up, that could make a bit of difference?
