[Albion] How do you feel about an international break right now?

[Swansman]

Not sure about the argument about resting... its basically only one game a week now, something this squad should and seems to be able to cope with.

 

[vagabond]

Positive.

As a supporter going into it so happy with the 6 points and performances.

We thrive when Potter has coaching time with the players, like last spring, the players learning under the master. (Without the international players this time).

Great point.

Where did you have in mind? I’ll have to cancel the milk.

At the moment a trip overseas is probably the Isle of Wight, which is nice.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'd love a couple of weeks somewhere warm right now, but that pesky Covid has put the kibosh on that, sadly.

I see you beat me to the mining of that thin vein of comedy

No vein is ever too thin

 

[Change at Barnham]

I feel like I need a rest from the Premier League rollercoaster.

Following Brighton has been stressful during lockdown. It will do us all good to take a break and have something to look forward to returning to.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Can’t stand international football.

 

[Eeyore]

I never enjoy an International break.

Club over Country all the time.

That changes when teams enter the Premier League.

It's a selfish struggle really, and a little hypocritical. I confess to feeling it too.

But I still hold country first. We don't have an issue when England do well. And, importantly, our players feel the honour of it.

Can’t stand international football.

Do you not watch the World Cup or Euros ?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It gives NSC a chance to sensibly discuss other topics rather than Brighton and football without any foolhardy and misinformed comments.

 

[kentgully]

Hate the breaks, BUT, Fulham and Newcastle will have to stew on missed opportunities, we can look forward to going to MU in great form. For once, feel this one suits us.

[Easy 10]

So many people pretend to hate England - till the tournaments come round.

I might watch England. When I was younger I was really into the major events, but the last few years has completely turned me off international football.

I don’t agree with breaking up the domestic season so FIFA/UEFA can make money. If they played matches on a Wednesday like 70s and 80s, it might be better, alternatively set a month aside at the end of the season.

If they had anything about them the Euro’s and Nations league would be cancelled due to COVID.

 

[Blue3]

It's a bit of all three options kudos for the club when players are called to represent their Countries, it definitely breaks momentum but also gives injuries time to heal while the extra international games are an injury risks in themselves

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Are these just another set of meaningless friendlies?

 

[Eeyore]

So many people pretend to hate England - till the tournaments come round.

Pretty much this.

I don't think folk realise how much it means to the players to get this recognition.

They don't get paid (well, they do but give it away), they just want the shirt and to keep it.

Was it the bit where we made the world cup semi final that really turned you off?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Weeks without league football (well maybe not 1 & 2)....yuck

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Based on where we are and how the season is panning out, how are you feeling about there being no domestic game for two weeks while the international break happens?

Gives SockBoy an extra week to be fit for the big game v Fulham.
