Do the Italians have a version of the League Cup?

So they do, I always thought serie a had 18.

 

How do they play all their games in time then? As always thought the premier league was the only league to have the stupid Christmas schedule 

They have a proper winter break as well.

They don't have 4 or 5 FA Cup weekends where most league teams don't play a game. That's were they make up the time.

No, neither does Spain. 
 

It should be opt-in here nowadays, with a league programme built for clubs who aren’t taking part. Also kill off FA Cup replays once and for all - straight to penalties if it’s a draw after 90.

Don't think they do

Sadio had a week off after the season finished and then Senegal gave him another week. Now he has just had 16 days off. It's not as bad as been made out and players no longer return to preseason with Neil Ruddock bellies on them.

Ah come on - the dark nights and cold weather are ideal whinging conditions!

Who needs dark nights?  I thought winning the Champions League would placate you somewhat, but you've managed to whinge for the whole summer.  Outstanding dedication to the cause.

 

I look forward to the opening league game against Norwich, where you'll no doubt come out with a pre-match gem such as "the fact Origi makes the bench says it all about the state of modern Britain".

Really should have just closed the football club down after winning the champions Leaue,  no way can we improve or go backwards from that. 

 

Got to wonder why Rafa didnt hand lifelong contracts to smicer, traore and dudek,  heroes of Istanbul.

With all due respect (none), your outlook is preposterously pessimistic and as a result your posts offer no balance.  It's like a parody account, only it's not a parody so all we're left with is perpetual misery.  Reading your output is like having baked beans for every meal.

The leftie hypocrite talking about balance. 

 

Like I'm doing more than a skim read there.

Money as usual ruining things....

 

Klopp now rightly questioning why PL starts so early too. Pointed this out myself on here....week before La Liga, 2 before Serie A.

Serie A finished their season two weeks earlier, didn't they?

Behave - everybody knows it is all Lallana's doing.

 

Oh and what i have been 'whinging' about is exactly what our manager is talking about.... no doubt born of the same worries.

Pretty much everything.  Lack of signings, squad depth, no rest for key players, club vs country, wrong type of sunshine...

Nearly, lad .... as Roy Walker used to say - "it's good, but it's not right"

 

Not moaned at all about lack of signings.

 

Defo 'moaned' about no rest for key players - just like Jurgen Klopp is now.....i'll give you that and  'club v country' - always have, always will - there is a problem and a growing one at that.

 

You seem to have a fair problem with opposing views, kid - relax, it's really not all that important...go out enjoy the sunshine, even if it is the wrong type because of Origi.

[dockers_strike]

People should chill and learn to trust Jurgen. He hasnt got much wrong in his time here.

 

Anyway, Sadio, I love the guy. I think he's come on in leaps and bounds and is beginning to realise just how good a player he really is. OK, he still makes the occasional wrong decisions but so too do Mo, Bobby and others.

 

Im actually more worried Sadio may have his head turned by Real than I am about Mo or Bobby going first. I think he'll be a big miss against city tomorrow.

Yeah we can just bask in that for the next 10 years according to some on here.

Shit Stroganoff!

[Lee909]

As has been said the league cup does cause fixture pile ups. The FA cup does as it removes weekend fixtures. Moving it to midweek would help solve the issue but piss off the EFL and FA
