Imagine having a winter break, then coming back to 2 weeks of snow.
Most stupid idea ever

Who the hell came up with this format? What a mess. Couldn't they have just picked a non FA Cup weekend and taken the week off? That would give all clubs a 14 day break between games.

Why is it a mess? I agree that the FA Cup replay thing is a bit silly but apart from that it seems fine, teams get a break just not necessarily all at the same time :
I don't particularly agree with it either. Premier league squads are naturally larger than what they are in the EFL and you'll find that most of them (European sides apart) play fewer or similar number of games. Do away with the poxy prolonged preseason tours if fatigue is an issue.
Scrap replays. Sometimes I think the underdog has a better chance in one game. Start round 3 mid jan. After New Years Day have two weeks off
Stupid time to have a winters break - the worst of the cold weather is usually behind us by mi-Feb (allegedly).
What I don't get is that clubs will arrange friendlies to keep the players at it - there was talk of some clubs jetting off to play abroad.
Some BREAK if they do this.
What they really should do is bin the Christmas/New Year schedule. Then they wouldn't need a break.
They must be exhausted playing football for 90 minutes twice a week, not to mention training a few times a week too.
Maybe they should have a go on the shovel in all weathers for five days a week.
