I'm prepared to stand corrected but there was no such thing as an International break-even as recent as 20yrs ago.  Just add it to the list of things that have deteriorated with time.

You are correct that there wasn't one in the UK. It was introduced because of lack of preparation time before international  games and late drop-outs due to injuries picked up in league games played 3 or 4 days before the international. We fell into line with other nations  by introducing the international break. Whether it's better or not depends on individual view and the club/country priority.

Sunderland losing 2-0 to plymouth so we move up back into 6th on GD as it stands

[gazberg]

Cardiff score in the 96th and 99th minute to beat Preston 2-1. Nuts

Rooney finally gets his first win

Rooney finally gets his first win

Bugger, much as I have a downer on Wednesday (big Dave) I was hoping that they would press the Rooney exit button

[KN22]

Livermore getting much praise after Watford's 3-2 win against Norwich last night. Man of the match according to the reporter on Sky. Fair play to the guy.

[liverbaggie]

Leeds losing at home aftet 4 mins

[Adamstv]

Half time and Leicester Ipswich and Leeds all winning. Ipswich ripping Millwall apart! 3-0

Sheffield Wednesday take a point vs Leicester

Vals Watford seem to be gaining some momentum

Swansea sacking Michael Duff

Swansea sacking Michael Duff

Slghtly harsh possibly, they sold their best player at start of season.

[hardtobeat]

Mowbray has left Sunderland !

Vals Watford seem to be gaining some momentum

Indeed lost only 1 of their last 5 ( v Leicester ) and Captain Fantastico has started  ( and finished ) all of those games 

[gazberg]

Mowbray has left Sunderland !

That's a shock, they seemed suited. Wonder what's gone on.

[gazberg]

Ok he's been sacked apparently. Board not happy with 9th. Don't get it. That's about where they are for me on paper. Top 10. Not promotion candidates but a decent champo team.

Guess the board there have different expectations

[gazberg]

Local journos there saying there has been tension between Mogga and the Sporting Director ( who signs the players  with or without Mowbrays blessing) and it's all become untenable

Swansea sacking Michael Duff

Yes Duff was known for pretty direct football in previous jobs which made it a surprising appointment in the first place given the Swansea blueprint of passing football. Mowbray to Swansea maybe ?

TM & Swansea would be a great match in my opinion.  (I still think he is a good manager despite what he did to us)

[ronnie_allen]

Wayne Rooney still with less points after nine games than John Eustace got in his final two games before being sacked.

[gazberg]

Alex Neil gone from Stoke apparently

[SmethDan]

Alex Neil gone from Stoke apparently

Very poor timing in my opinion. They could have done the decent thing and waited until after they'd played us. No sense of fair play or humour. Boo!

My thoughts exactly Dan. Gutting

[Standaman]

The 6th and 7th longest serving Championship Managers are Carrick and Corberan both of whom have just completed a year in the role. It is madness. 

[BaggieBoy04]

What is it with Clubs we are due to play sacking Managers Neil at Stoke we play them Next and Mowbray at Sunderland both sacked a week before we play them. Well TM wasn't quite a week but the start of the working week as most people call it.
