Hydration breaks.

Football is a game of momentum and anyone who's ever watched a thrilling 90 minutes would agree that most players or supporters would give up a half time break when a great game is being played. Why? Stops destroy that momentum and flow of the incredible spectacle of association football.

Our sport, a 150 year old sport no less, is the world's most popular to watch and to play.

Not the NFL
Not the NBA
Not MLB

Association Football.

So a few pundits, fans and journalists doing TV and sponsors bidding by opining that hydration breaks are a good idea couldn't give one good reason as to how the game would be made better.

Coaches work SEVEN DAYS A WEEK to drill instruction into players, so in game instruction isn't needed.

Players can hydrate whenever they like. They're not fucking babies needing a feed.

The breaks CREATE a STOP OF MOMENTUM. And I've never seen one match in thousands I've watched or played in that's been better with more stoppages. Not ONE.

So to this angling for change, what makes you think you're so special to change the world's most popular sport to play and watch that's been both of those things for 150 years?

Minor tweaks? Absolutely. The back pass rule was being abused, so it was changed. A materially good thing for the players and fans.

More breaks? At a time where stops in play for diving, cheating, VAR etc are colliding with hydration breaks? No thanks.

Those wanting this are working for broadcasters and sponsors who want a bigger piece of the game. Never forget that.

Football. A simple game ruined by football illiterate fucknuts.

Yes, I've played elite level sport where my particular job was running with a ball at feet at around 30kph+ multiple times a half.

6 ft 4, 95kg.

The tactical information given to me through a 7 day, not 3 minute period sufficed, as did the occasional squirt of electrolyte water per half.

My performance would not have been improved at all by a hydration or tactical break.

Pretty much like 99% of players over a 150 year period playing the most popular and most played sport on the planet by far.

So maybe you can tell me. When was the last time you put your fucking dorittos, big gulp and chicken wings down long enough to know what professional sportsmen need rather than advertising executives or couch potatoes who need to be told 6 times in 20 minutes to buy a Jeep Cherokee, Whopper or diabetes medication instead of just enjoying the sport?

@SavMondo Haven't heard the word dumped in years. So at least that's something positive

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@TinkerCunt_ What? I wish I didn't know that. Now I'm going to test it,n focus on it and then get fucked off by it too

You were watching PawPatrol on YouTube after curfew were you not?

The worst thing about Man City dominating football for the last decade and out growing Manchester United is that we’ve now got Man Utd fans on here absolutely desperate to force a rivalry with us

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@swinburne_mark Best? Nope. Woodgate, then Albert

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@swinburne_mark Easy. Nobby. Was class for us

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@NUFC In my lifetime the greatest person ever connected with the club. Yet he has no statue? Or even a stand named after him? Sort it out

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@swinburne_mark Lee for Batty and Woodgate for Colo

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@swinburne_mark Pav out of them easy!

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@swinburne_mark Hall is an easy one. Best left back Ive seen at club. Tripper arguably right back too.

[Mark Henderson @dude1979]

@swinburne_mark Keegan. Not even close

[NORTH @CraigIrvine93]

Anthony Gordon is one of those players that comes and goes from a club and leaves no legacy or personality behind. Buying him isn't an amazing thing and selling him isn't an amazing thing. He's just a generic faceless player imo. Sometimes great, sometimes shit. #NUFC
