A few years ago there was the drive for an extended international build up to make us more competitive. I couldn't give a chuff whether England win lose or draw nowadays. The extended build up hasn't improved us and we'd be no worse off than turning up on the day and the gaffer deciding who was playing. You don't coach these international players so all the manager has to do is decide who is in form and who isn't and then let them play. All these bloody training sessions and we see the same old dross game after game. We had an exciting line up yesterday but seriously, did any of them scare Malta? Did Walcott go past the fullback? We ended up playing with 10 Ray Wilkins. Tippy tappy, pop the ball up in the air, square, square, square. That's what the extended break gives us.

Stop the international breaks.....they're ruining Saturdays.

I can see your point up to a certain degree.
But if the premiership continued a huge amount of players would be unavailable for us because they are representing their countries on continents all over the world.
Its not a british break for internationals its worldwide,
This also applies to every other single team with internationals,
I think this is why its called a International Break  

Or were you saying we could have one midweek international every now and again ?
However someone like Rondon would find this almost impossible
