bickster Posted September 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2012 It would be better if the scrapped international weeks iring the season. This way, the season would end around April time, then they could get all the qualifiers out the way in May. It would be more exciting that way, and the international players would still get a rest at the end of the season, even if it was a tournament year. Won't somebody please think about the cashflow.

Doesn't the season end early May when it's tournament year anyway? Surely the season finishing a few weeks early doesn't make that much difference. You could always start the season at the end of July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I actually think it should be scrapped. Its boring, qualifying is just a waste of time for most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fantastic idea, so much common sense, which is why it would never happen! I think it would certainly create more of a buzz regarding international football for me at least. The managers would have a series of matches and a solid 5 or 6 weeks to work with their player, which would only benefit their team play and plenty of time to assess players fitness and mentallity. Throw in a couple of midseason friendlies just so players that missed out over injuries and youngsters can be given a chance and you have a brighter future for international football, which I beleive is dying out! I doesn't address the problem of FIFA (rotton to the core), but it would be a start. But yeah Villa first, second and third, then England! Foreign managers, boring football, unerperforming big time charlies and players that simply aren't likeable has killed my passion for the England national team. The most exciting England prospect for a decade breaks through (Oxlade-Chamberlin) and what happens he gets a series of well publicised rollockings!

El-Reacho Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Does anyone know how many of the squad were actually away on international duty? It will give Lambert a good fortnight to work with the bulk of the squad. I saw Benteke, Hutton, were with their respective squads over the weekend. Maybe Guzan Lichaz, Bannan, Holman?

Has anyone else noticed how Switzerland always get easy qualification groups? Sepp Blatter is Swiss. For 2010 world cup they had Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg, Georgia :x It makes me furious.

8pints Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have missed watching the Villa, it still annoys me watching England having to stick 'Ex-' in front of most of them, I should have got over it by now and will do one day, I promise. I think the break came at the wrong time in a sense for a Villa fan because we want to see our new signings. But maybe it's helped to gel them all in. Although a few of them were on international duty, well still are, so we'll have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houllierout Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I've really enjoyed the break. Gives some breathing room to see what will happen next. Plus its slowed down all the moronic tweets like: "benteke is going to be god" "Ireland will save us" "a point out of 9 is good" "Gabby will save us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
