Poyet Lashes Out Over Christmas Schedule

Sunderland soccer manager Gus Poyet has criticised the fixture schedule which sees teams playing two games in three days.

Sunderland, who lost 3-1 at home to Hull City on Boxing Day, travel to Aston Villa today just 48 hours later. "I know that Boxing Day games are a tradition and I accept that and think we should maintain it," said Poyet, "but I think that then playing on the 28th is a disgrace. We shouldn't be playing then, we shouldn't."

The former Chelsea and Uruguay midfielder is looking for what would be just a third win in twelve Premier League matches.
