Unprofessionalism Starts at Christmastime

Why are British football teams (except for Manchester United, to a large extent) so pathetic and dumb?

Look at Manchester City. They were doing so well, and even luck was on their side. I'm talking, of course, of the Blackburn performance at Old Trafford, on December 31st, 2011.
How in the world a team that scored in all previous games this season could not score even one in two consecutive games, in the Christmas - New Year period (and to only gather one point out of 6, even as their coach kept making statements about knowing how important these games are), is beyond me.
Maybe the holidays do make all English contenders (except for Man. U., to a large extent) suck balls, and they should forget about playing so many games in such a demented schedule.

But this is a British-team issue. In how many other leagues do you see teams that lead in the standings up until Christmas start to sink faster than a turd in a working toilet, after that?
You look at PSG, in Ligue 1, or the new Juventus, in Serie A, this year, and you see a couple of teams with passion, consistency, willingness to keep making pragmatic efforts and the ability to keep going.

I hope I'm wrong about this, but the current Manchester City team is like a chicken with its head cut off. It keeps making stupid, laughable efforts, but it's not going to accomplish anything anymore. I know because I've watched them close, lately.
Just like the Liverpool of 2008-2009, the Chelsea of 2007-2008 and 2010-2011, and so many Arsenals of the late '90s and early 2000s, the new Premiership challenger also seems destined to fuck up just enough to allow Manchester United to keep winning through this joke of a league.

I mean, why do they even play for the title so long? Just ask these teams that think they can win to play at Christmas some matches, and, if they cannot win more than one or two, just give Manchester United the trophy.
Every year, people watch, hoping for a better performance, and every year Man. U. 's opposition always starts fucking up, and going down, at Christmastime.

All credit to Chelsea for managing to keep Manchester United away from three titles since the spring of 2004. How the heck they found the strength to do it is beyond me. But Chelsea, as a contender, is done and dusted, too.

And no matter how many foreign coaches and players, foreign tactics, and even foreign investors, any of these stupid Premiership teams bring, they had, still have, and always will have, a disappointing lack of urgency and ambition in the most crucial moments of any given season.

Fabio Capello, regardless of your talent and expertise, managing a team made entirely of British players is clearly a waste of your fame, as you will not add anything to it.
Why? Because the British do not know when they have to be careful on the pitch and when to really play properly.
It seems they will never know. And nobody can teach them.
