International Call Ups

[PatrickA]

Fourteen of our squad are on international duty.

I doubt too much serious training with the few remaining playerswill take place during the break and I just hope the players called up emerge unscathed.

Munoz, Lerma, Richards, Uche, Cardines, Kamada and Benitez also have to contend with huge travelling distances.

I cannot see an upside to these international breaks at all.

This will be the second one this season with a third I think due in November.

There isn't. At all. The fans dont want them, I doubt the players want them.

On the flip side, I never appreciated (when we had very few international players) how beneficial they might be to rest up and train properly.

Last long haul for me was 5 days in New York. Took about 2 weeks after my return for my cycadian rhythm to return to normal.

Given the importance of sleep, and the physical demands of them, how do these guys cope?

Don't call him Shirley. 😆

• Rumack: Can you fly this plane and land it?
• Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
• Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

One of many great lines in Airplane. My other favourite is:

• Dr. Rumack: "A hospital? What is it?"
• Elaine Dickinson: "It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

When do the lights c'mon.

They haven't and don't call me Wanda
