WINTER BREAK - YOU'RE HAVIN' A LAUGH

It was an another day of exciting football in the Premier League on Boxing Day as many a bored fan settled in front of the TV to get some much needed entertainment.

Enough of the family and Christmas telly - a football packed Boxing Day was just what the doctor ordered after the chaos of Christmas.

It was a day full of goals, sendings off and more controversy - with the amazing 4-4 draw between Chelsea and Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge the highlight.

The Premier League may be under pressure from top bosses to introduce a winter break, but we fans like it just the way it is thank you very much.

The top players who play in international tournaments in the summer are mostly at big clubs with the ability to rotate and deal with the added games of the Christmas period.

And what would we do at Christmas without huge helpings of football to keep us going?

Its a sacrifice the players have to make and so they should - its a great tradition of the British football calendar and it should stay that way.

Don't you think?
