Did you bump into Resevoir_Red on your walk?
have more holidays than teachers
Sorry, think I might join Bill & be another grumpy old sod on this one!
When Eddie says "it's something we've done historically and it has always given players a bit of a lift"
I can't help but think ah bless 'em they only earn obscene cash every week, own whatever car/home they desire, have more holidays than teachers, "work" (play football) approx 60hours a year if selected & uninjured, if injured they have access to the best medical care etc etc.... yep it sounds like I begrudge them all this well one thing is for sure I certainly don't feel sorry for them & think they need a few treats to give them a bit of a lift!
I will be up at Leicester cheering them on but no doubt if it's a naff performance this thread will almost certainly reappear, how relevant it would be is up for debate especially when so many are on international duty which makes the trip appear even more of a jolly & keep them sweet exercise.
No chance they get 12 weeks or whatever teachers get. World Cup players only end up with about 2 weeks in the off season
They were on holiday in Wales not so long ago.No chance they get 12 weeks or whatever teachers get. World Cup players only end up with about 2 weeks in the off season
But the only starters from the jolly will be.But they aren't very busy for most days of the week.
Don't see Prem footballers having to worry about breeching the 48 hour maximum working week. It isn't like they go home and do the washng up, cut the grass, paint the garage and worry how to make the next mortgage/rent payment.
I hope they have a spring in their step against Leicester otherwise the trip will look suspiciousy like a jolly.
It's pointless comparing top level athletes with the rest of us in regular type jobs. Eddie's job is to give them the edge of their opponents not to worry about how much time off regular Joe's get...
I can understand some of Bill’s complaints - the money is obscene but you need to look at just how big the Prem League is globally. I know it’s easy to question the players earning big sums with new cars and top of the range watches but I have no doubt that the cherries players work damn hard under Eddie. A lot of new players have commented on how intensive the training is.
Most players really look after their bodies now unlike the old days which is why clyne’s antics are surprising and newsworthy. The pace and intensity of matches is tough and media scrutiny of errors means the mental pressure is tough too. Not as tough as a nurse on AE or police on duty at closing time of course but it’s all relative.
Thus have no issue with this trip. Less forgiving on those players who now avoid fans seeking autographs on matchday though!
I used to hunt autographs, I don't understand the idea these days.
