Manchester City's schedule starting yesterday:

November 26 at Huddersfield.
November 29, three days later, home to Southampton.
December 3, four later, home to West Ham.
December 6, three days later, at Shakhtar Donesk. (UCL).
December 10, four days later, at Manchester United.
December 13, three days later, at Swansea.
December 16, three days later, home to Spurs.
December 19, three days later, at Leicester in the Carabao Cup.
December 23, four days later, home to Bournemouth.
December 27, four days later, at Newcastle.
December 31, four days later at Crystal Palace.

Then, finally, they get a two week break to rest and to heal, which probably coincides with the next "International Break" where the players will travel to their home countries, get into automobile accidents, get hurt on the pitch and contract gastrointestinal illnesses. The International Break will eventually turn me into a terrorist.

That is not a soccer schedule, that is a basic training regimen, that is boot camp, that is inhuman, that is soccer in Britain.
