Thread: Benitez says scrap the xmas period

Football should always be about the fans so you have to look at it from the fans point of view..

Positives
Fans have time-off work anyway
Chance to get away from in-laws/family

Negatives
Most people are skint at Christmas
Christmas is a family time blah blah blah
People don't see best football because the poor little millionnaires are tired

I've never ever been to a boxing day game and get a bit annoyed because I'm always away but overall, you can tell people love football over christmas so I think it's a good thing

i agree i tlove boxing game matches. not surprised to see Redknapp moaning its what he does best.

aaah, the players get tired. FFS, grow up. I'd play 4 games in 10 days everytime to get that amount of money a week. Jesus. Football players dont know what they've got till its gone.

Agreed, besides, its what they gate paid ludicrous amounts of money to do, so if they want to winge let them, but nothing will be done about it.

It's a tradition for the english leagues, nothing beats the boxing day fixtures, this years going to be the 1st time for a few years i haven't been on boxing day, always a great afternoon to get out the house and work off the pounds!
Not suprised it's Benitez who's come out with the idea, all he does is moan about injuries and changes he wants made.

Aww boo hoo Benitez's players are getting tired. so what they get paid bloody loads to do it, so he can quit moaning

Is it me or is Benitez constantly complaining, basically wanting to change the English league to be more like the Spanish, this is OUR league, this is how we play it. Get used to it and sod off whinging.
