They all miss the fucking point. It’s not that they can’t play 4 games in 11 days or whatever they have to do, it’s that the standard suffers for fucks sake. Most of the games played during this period have been shite due to knackered players.
Saunders is a fuckwit, he makes Brazil sound intelligent, almost.
A typical example of why four games in eleven days doesn't work is Stoke City
Won one, drew one, then went to Chelsea and threw the match because they were focusing on the next game vs Newcastle
That is not fair on Stoke City supporters, or in fact Chelsea supporters who like ourselves would rather see a competitive game than pay hard earned for a procession
Mark Hughes in his interview following said procession even said it himself "
"We've got to go again on Monday so we had to protect a number of players. I take responsibility for this, it was my decision. But the feeling is we're in better shape for Monday - if we win that, we've had a decent Christmas period."
