What the hecks on for the 8th October......not another international break surely? Having these breaks is ok I suppose but the players actually involved don't get a break do they?

England's final qualifier for Euro 2012 is on the 7th October so that's why there is another international break that weekend.

From what I can see though England don't have a game scheduled for the international break on November 12th so not sure why there are no Championship games that weekend...!! <doh>
 
Saturday without league football is like a pint glass without beer. Pointless. International football on a weekend is like a pint glass with lager in it. Unpalatable.

Mainly the recently relegated Prem clubs who have the most international players. West Ham have a few, Newcastle had a few a couple of seasons ago etc. They appear to have taken the line to cancel all games, not just the ones of the teams with players away.

We had that daft situation last season with the one plymouth player who sort of played for his african country of birth, but then didn't, but our game was postponed anyway.

I'm with others, international football really bores me now. We all know who are the top 12 teams in Europe, they should just play in a european championship without the need for qualification. The smaller countries can have a small mini-tournament, with the winner (or top 2) getting into the main final.

There is absolutely no point to having the Andorra's, San Marino's and Wales taking part in proper international competition. They never improve, they are backward nations and should just accept it.

That's the weekend scheduled for euro play offs, so if England qualify top, then there will be a friendly; probably the holland game that was cancelled.
 
The Tuesday after the Saturday, and no game to look forward to. Crap. This is the football season, for pete's sake, and there's no game on the horizon. I already hate this international break more now than I did the last one.
 
Strangely, although I miss the football I don't find it as worrying as before. In the past, if Saints were playing well I would worry that we would lose form, but this time I thought that Adkins can work on a few things and the players can have a weekend off. I have no fear that we will come back a different team. This must be what confidence feels like.
 
I HATE INTERNATIONALS.

I want to watch decent football every night of the week like the last couple :(

The only thing that was good about League 1 was no international breaks. Seems to be one every month and a bit now!

To be fair, there was plenty of good in League One. Of course, it's better in The Championship, simply because our team is within sniffing distance of the Premiership. but if the Premiership was half as competitive as League One, it would be a damn sight better than it is now.
