It's the international breaks that I don't like faaip. Can anyone remember when they started?

But we haven't always had a complete shut down of our top 2 domestic leagues. When did these international breaks start. I don't seem to be able to find out.

Isn't it better that way for players health and fitness etc, Rather than turn up a day or two early, intense training and no time to judge fitness before throwing them into a game half cooked, now they can be evaluated, learn the managers system, learn how to play with their team mates and play better football?

I don't like International breaks as I don't really follow international football so they're a nuisense but I'm less concerned by injury now than back then

Well done DCL.

Ps Leeds: Don't forget that new contract otherwise we might lose him.

Yes he deserves the call up, but he is a very important player Leeds United and we have to look after him and his game time. England is
a big feather in his cap and the player has earned the attention of TT, but there is always a part of me on one side that says well done and other says you limit the miles you put on your Ferrari and keep it in garage wrapped up in a blanklet, and only bring it out when it's
only necessary.
