NFR -- You know it's Christmas when ...

[HatterDon]

... the foreign managers are whining about the matches @ Christmas and New Years and the need for a mid-winter break [like it is back home for them, the darlings]. Never mind the merits of the holiday crush and the perceived need -- and this year's a good argument for certain -- for a winter break, every time I see one of these gits [and it was Mancini a moment ago] moaning about the "unfairness" I tend to yell at the screen: "THEN GO BACK TO ITALY/SPAIN/PORTUGAL/GERMANY/YOUR COUNTRY'S NAME GOES HERE AND DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS ON THE WAY OUT."  :035:

Thanks; I feel all better now.

Talking about foreign managers, I notice Benitez has been playing 'Manageropoly' again....you know, passing "Go !" and collecting probably another £4million.    He'll be turning up like a bad penny over here before long for the next lap of the board.
