Winter breaks to be included in the Premier League

Postby SuperJackyWilshere » Tue Feb 27, 2018 12:28 am

Im glad that it's finally becoming a thing but i'm not sure about the timing of it.

I don't think two weeks is long enough either.

I don't agree with stopping FA Cup fifth round replays.

Dreadful news.

No winter break is part of what separates the PL from every other league.

If it was for genuine football reasons I'd support it, but it clearly isn't. The powers that be care not one f**k about Tranmere Rovers Vs Dagenham being called off cos of a frozen pitch

Its got much more to do with da moneyz

Not sure exactly how yet, but just wait a while

The uproar from them would be brilliant if this ever managed to reach Sunday league football.
