S13M20: Once more onto the beach

 I am, chronologically, not an old man. I will accept I have maybe always skewed more to the "old" side mentally, but I'm hardly a Little Britain, rose-tinted tuppence a bus ticket Luddite. I've always been pro-VAR conceptually (even if I've said on many, many, MANY occasions that the execution is about as bad as could be) alongside other forms of innovation, data, technology etc.

I however, do find myself on the David Mitchell soapbox when it comes to fixture scheduling over the last 10 days. As if Friday night games aren't bad enough, it's been a drawn out trudge through the festive period, with a single day of relief today before another 4 days. There will have been PL fixtures on 11 of the 13 days around this time, with only 1 day off before the FA Cup 3rd round starts, again on a THURSDAY.

Enough is enough. I don't care what colour your boots are but come on.....traditions matter. Otherwise, we might as well become the NFL with their nonsensical stuff designed to just sell more merchandise and TV subscriptions.

Oh.
