Do footballers really play too much football these days?

[Kev]

as professionals they should be able to play at least 2 games per week

When I were a lad, I used to play every night for about 3 hours after school. Then on a weekend, I'd play from morning until night. Never did me any harm.

 

Today's players are a bunch of pansies. Proper men could get through a season's worth of games in a month and a half and still have time to creosote the fence.

well done that man. couldnt agree more!! i play football for more than 90 minutes at a time go in for dinner and come back out again!! being paid £150k a week for this is insane no matter how good you are, arguing over contracts even more so!

Bollocks.

 

After a proper competitive football match you're fucking knackered.
