Should postpone till January. But then there's gonna be fixture pileups, AFCON, the new season starts earlier and there's a winter World Cup coming soon. :picard:

That really benefits teams like Wolves & Arsenal and the lot with no european football. And if I'm not mistaken only Pepe, Auba and Elneny the only Gunners going to AFCON so :manny:

Don't do that. I'm sick and tired of this narrative with Martinelli and Tierney that Fans and Martin Ape Man Keown keep on pushing. Those 2 need protecting from themselves especially after coming back from injury. They only play at 1 pace and that fast and furious and get stuck in. If they aren't managed slowly back into things they will get injured again. Yeah Martinelli could of been used a bit more this season but any Arsenal fan telling me they ain't :lupe: everytime when Martinelli or Tierney go down is a liar and I put that on grape.

Perfect example of this is Dembele. When Valverde was at Barca he never eased Dembele back into the side. He deployed him on the wing and said "just run" as if the kid couldn't dribble or score. So he kept snapping hamstrings.

Reducing the league I don't think is the issue. I think its no winter break, a league cup no one cares about and dumb ass international breaks.

- Create EPL Winter Break
- Kill the League Cup (or truncate it to a playoff)
- International Qualifiers played in May & July. With no international breaks, the season would end a couple of weeks sooner.
- No winter WC's ever again
