New rules possible...

Xavi Alonso retiring.
Man I love watching that guy play football.
Liverpool cocked it all up letting him go and keeping Gerrard.
Xabi was pissed because the season previous to the one he was sold, he had a bad year and the club tried to sell him to fund a move for Gareth Barry. At the time, it was generally seen as a good deal.
Then he becomes an integral part of the squad the following year, Liverpool fans and Rafa say "Gareth who" and he then goes to Real Madrid.

Nah, Cadbury are already deverloping club specific flavours.
The Arsenal Fruit and nut bar tastes great for most of the season, but one week a year it causes unexpected choking.
The Spurs top deck, only actually has one layer and it's never the top one.
West ham claret and blue bar makes you burp bubbles and tastes like shit if you move house.
Liverpools chocolate promises great flavour, but is soft centred and is disappointingly bland.
Chelsea's bar was bitter and expensive, but they changed the wrapper and now everyone seems to love it.
The Man United bar has nostalgic hints of red wine that seem to hinder any other flavours having a real impact.
Has anybody looked at the details regarding new rules for 2016-17 EPL season and the FIFA law changes?
I've just been having a look and there's some interesting calls.
Particularly the Direct On Goal Scoring Opportunity. Basically it is encouraging referees to use a bit of in game reasoning to make their decisions.
A player gets taken out, outside the 18 yard box - Red card.
Same tackle in the box, could be a yellow card.
They explain the rule by saying if a player is taken out of play with a goal scoring opportunity in the box, a penalty, restores that chance, so further penalty, a red card, is not necessary.
While if a player is denied an Obvious GSO outside the box, a free kick is a lot harder to score off, so a red card is reasonable.
Obviously, referee discretion is applied still, and red/yellow cards can be given at will, but just interesting that this is an explanation.
I can't say i particularly agree with these changes.

One of the beauties of football was there were so few rule changes. Unfortunately in the 21st century culture demands change and what is ruining cricket and has already ruined NRL is constant rule changes and pushes for technology.
It was just supposed to be about kicking a ball around.

proposed allocations for 2026:
UEFA - 16
CAF - 9
AFC - 8
CONCACAF - 6
CONMEBOL - 6
OFC - 1
subtotal - 46
and then we go into some stupid playoff series for the last two positions
"The proposed play-off will feature one team from each confederation with the exception of Uefa, plus one from the host nation’s confederation, with two of the teams being seeded based on the world rankings.
The unseeded teams will be involved in a two-match first round, with the two winners from that then facing a seeded team each for a World Cup berth. The play-off will be contested in the same country as the World Cup and used as a test event, and Fifa specified November 2025 as the likely month in which it would be played."
