Midseason Break

[MC Prussian]

Another very intelligent Soccer article from Sports Illustrated.

Note the sublime comparison between European leagues with different amount of teams and hence a totally different schedule.

Nah I don't think so. I wouldn't like it and i don't really think the players would be bothered about having one either.

no. if they did though, wouldn't that just mean more midweek games during the season which is impossible. so they would have to decrease size of leagues.

No. It always been a tradition to play on boxing day eyc. and many people would not ike to see that changed, we should just remove the pointless internation friendlys, and reduce the number of teams in the Champions League. It's called Champions League, not Champions, Runners-Up, 3rd & 4th place League, although this will never happen due to TV money etc.

I was thinking along the same lines.

It would basically mean the players have two pre-seasons, and pre-season is the worst time of year for a footballer (according to Kevin Nolan)

i would HATE this idea. I love the league how it is so leave it.

Why fix it if it isn't broken?

The busy christmas schedule is one of the best parts of our season.

Bollocks to a mid-season break,they get paid enough they dont need breaks.

I vote no midseason break. We don't need one. The players (especially ours who redouble efforts on the training ground every week) should be fit enough to cope without one.
