Might be a good time to start looking at whether there should be
a winter break in England, like we do in mainland Europe

> They won't be able to extend the season, there just isn't
time. If the clubs get their 2 week circuit break that they
seemingly want (aka Christmas off 😂) they will just have
more games to play in the remainder of the season. I then
forsee complaints that players are getting injured due to having
to play three times a week.

There are only two scheduled full midweek programmes in League
One and League Two after the New Year. I know postponements and
rearranged fixtures will come into it, but there are still
around a dozen free midweeks for the lower divisions as we
stand.
That said, I want to be playing now, not then, if it's possible.

I meant the Premier League, wasn't aware EFL clubs had asked for
a break.

Sorry, I wasn't answering that point specifically, but just
addressing something they were waffling on about on the radio
yesterday.

Headline in our local online 'rag':
Johnson: "playing over Christmas is all part of the job"
Am I alone in not realising at first that this was referring to
Crewe Alex player Travis Johnson? [emoji3]
