For what reason should any club/team/player have to play four times in ten days? There is absolutely no reason for it! The players deserve a Christmas break as much as you or I do, the amount they earn should have nothing to with it either. Most players from the EPL who play international football look burnt out due to the English fixture schedule. It all ties together and for me the utter nonsense is the fact that four games in ten days actually happens whilst players from leagues around the world get a couple of days off. Football and the Christmas break does go well together, but football at anytime works well for me. simonthered – Why is it utter nonsense?

The German's have a winter break yet only Shalke have made it to the knockout stage this year in a group with the tragedy that is Valencia in it and Stuttgart finished bottom in a group with Rangers in it, and Bremen finished 5 points behind the awesome Olympiacos. All in all - utter nonsense, but thanks for giving us something to respond to They could stop playing football altogether and the league could be won by “shortest straw” – then they’ll never be knackered & we’ll never be entertained (which i guess is already the case for ‘boro fans)

Appauling!! Really, who cares this could be good for the non-Big Four team's to get higher up the table, and the second-fiddle players from teams can get the run-outs they have been wanting, and could play good football and maybe play more first-team action. My Arsenal though, do not have it too bad as players like Gilberto,Jens (while they are still at the Emirates) plus Theo and co. would be fine to play.
