Anybody else a bit tired of managers complaining about having too many fixtures at this time of year and demanding a winter break! For the supporters its an excellent time of year and gives us great entertainment, which is the most important thing, surely?!
It's certainly tough on the smaller clubs with less, shall we say, "talented" squads, especially as injuries kick in this time of the season.
Man City manager is complaining now! Imagine Xmas without the busy football schedule!? Imagine no football during December/January!!! Aaaaaaaboooooorrrring!!!!!
Imagine all the lower league clubs, having to do the same, and running a club on a pittance as the big clubs are creaming it all in.
I see their point 1000% but as an Englishman growing up with the festive fixtures, I wouldn't change it for the world.
