Oh those poor dears! It seems that the plan for Premier League teams to play an additional football match abroad every year is meeting with opposition as it might lead to player burn-out, or more injuries, etc.

Oh dear! Yes, how dare anyone suggest that those poor, down-trodden, underpaid loves should play 39 football matches in one year! What with that and all that training they do, there’d be no time for them to party and go shopping or anything.

I am so glad I only work 250+ full days a year instead…
