Rooney calls for winter break

England and Manchester United star Wayne Rooney believes a winter break will give the Three Lions the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

The evergreen marksman's statements were released ahead of his country's crucial European qualifier against Montenegro.

"A winter break would not only help the England team but the Premier League as well," he said.

"Towards the end of the season the intensity in some of the games which is normally there is missing.

"It's a long season with the intensity that the games are played at. It is only fair on the players that there is a break.

"It's great, especially as a forward when the game is end to end and the game opens up. But it's only in England where you see that game that quick."

That defeats the purpose of a winter break. And it would be the clubs' fault if they did that.

And hopefully a winter break will decrease the whining from English clubs about the African Cup of Nations.

I was gonna say something like that.

There's alot of football on around the Christmas period though, some cracking games on boxing day usually.

No wonder you're such a foul-mouthed working class chav

I'd actually say that the bigger cause of injuries in this country is the pitches. The weather in this country makes the pitches harder to maintain. It doesn't help when players insist on wearing blades either.
These are causing some of the injuries, which in turn resulted in poor showings at the World Cup. Too many players went into the World Cup when they weren't fit.

However, is it just sheer coincidence that pretty much every single Premiership player besides Tevez (who was not spectacular, but solid) and Fabregas (who was merely a spot sub) sucked donkey balls?

Why would it decrease their whining in that regard? I believe their consternation about the Cup of Nations is that it takes places right smack in the middle of club season and so we have to go about a month without Drogba diving around the pitch.

Sounds as timely as a documentary called "Will Menalwyerguy fuck Jessica Biel this weekend?"

Because with a winter break, the African players would miss less club matches.
