I mean, why don’t we have them in international breaks like this one? Clubs all over the world do it.

Some countries are having internationals. Regardless of international/winter break why aren't we keeping the players fresh with a friendly or two? Especially considering we're going into an extremely pivotal period. 2 weeks off for them is too much.

For some National teams there is no option not to play this break. Colombia for example is playing today against Peru for a spot in the World Cup and that was a schedule set by FIFA.

Newcastle had a warm weather friendly today. Preparing for a crucial league game some might say yet where are we? What have we been doing? They'll be going into that game even bigger favourites now.
Exactly. We're staring at relegation under a caretaker manager. Surely give Dunc all the chance he can get to drill things into the players? It's mad.

Yeah if we were playing in warm weather conditions, it’ll be freezing cold or raining possibly a week on Wednesday. It’ll mean absolutely nothing

Not true. Helps recovery. Plus team building.
Of couse it means something? It's more minutes in players legs, more chances to practice set pieces idea etc. We need a friendly.

How many Premier League clubs are playing friendlies this weekend mate? How many play them during international breaks?
I'm not arsed what other clubs are doing. Are you saying you'd rather we didn't play one?

No one plays them, Newcastle have only done because they were training there/it was a condition of the takeover
Thanks for not answering my question.

Every club should be mate in internationals, to keep legs fresh but it’s never been seen as a thing in England
