“Players playing too much ..”

Anyone else getting sick of players moaning about playing too much??
Sigh….even Sonny now jumping on the bandwagon of “we are playing too much" ffs Sonny we only played 40 games last season mate!!
I know people always use the money they earn but I think it’s only a fair thing to mention. They earn per week nearly 10 times the average salary …..let that sink in. That’s more than enough compensation for “all the travelling" and 2 matches per week!
And the other justification they use is “the quality will suffer"……really?? I remember 30 years ago or more they played more games on shiiite pitches and the game was no less entertaining, also there was less substitutions, smaller squads and most of all, up until about 15 years ago it was a MUCH more physical game in England, more tackles, harder tackles
Sorry but I just can’t get behind this whole movement. I want them doing MORE not less

Spurs play Manchester United just three days after tonight's game, and Postecoglou said: "I've spoken before that I think we're getting to a dangerous level of what our expectations are around players. They don't get a break between seasons anymore.

Ange doesn't like it either

And yet in the same press conference he said when we weren’t in Europe last year he was upset because he wanted to play - hypocrites the lot of them

Not getting a break between seasons is a different issue to the club not playing in Europe.. during the season

I bet if you took a thousand people off the average street and said you could magically swap lives with a professional footballer, that 99% would swap. It’s a great life. The players should remember how privileged they actually are. Monetary rewards, the best girls, the adulation, and set for life financially once they retire.
Makes me sick they bleat on about unfairness, I know people who are on minimum wage cleaning up peoples shiiit , now that’s unfair

See, Barry? This is how it's done.

People with a job being paid a legal wage and you think that's unfair? I know people who are homeless and have aids. Really disrespectful from you and your shiiit cleaning mates to try and compare having a.steady job to being homeless. Would they swap their job for being homeless and having aids?

You've met Bitter Billy IRL?

Aside from that this is a daft comparison. Being paid so well doesn't mean they can physically play a game every 2 or 3 days. Players aren't saying of you want us to play more pay us more.
