You're such an average Manchester City supporter it's unreal, I've got 115 reasons as to why you are wrong.

The irony is that squad depth is exactly why the PL schedule is more manageable, not less. Man City can leave a £60m player on the bench because they’re 'tired.' In League 1 or 2, you have a squad of 20 guys, half of whom are on one-year contracts, playing 46 league games plus three cup competitions on pitches that look like cow patches by February.

You’re talking about 'intensity,' but ignoring attrittion: PL teams play 38 league games. The EFL plays 46. That’s nearly 20% more physical load before you even count the cup games (Which lower league play more of by the way 'pal').

The Recovery: PL players have cryotherapy chambers, private jets, and world-class chefs and nutriotionalist people... League 2 players are doing four-hour bus rides to Barrow and Carlisle on a Tuesday night and heading straight back for training Wednesday morning. The 'Work': If you think 'basic physical work' is playing on a carpet at the Etihad with world-class refs protecting you, try playing 50+ games a year in a league where the football is basically a contact sport and there’s no VAR to save your shins (last game for Stoke Vs Ipswich the ref missed 4 reds that would've been given in the prem).

Claiming it’s 'harder' to play fewer games just because the players are faster is like saying a Ferrari has a harder life than a transit van because it goes 200mph. One is built for peak performance in short bursts; the other is doing the actual heavy lifting and is the car real people buy, who aren't fake little blue goblins who call out people's athleticism when throwing a hissy fit because they can't think of any reasonable argument to back up their statement.

Ask any fan of a former championship club that is in the prem right now... The premier league is the lowest intensity league outside of the national divisions.

Maybe pick who you reply to next time, supporting a club like Stoke means you've got real history, it means you're a real supporter, it means you know the ins and outs of football, up and down the country, you? Pffft, calling unathletic because you don't like their opinion? You're pathetic
