Don`t see the need for a ten game rule at all, who cares if a few players gets a medal without playing a big part? It`s a team sport ffs.
Agreed.

Maybe it should be a few games just to stop a manager playing his entire reserve team in one fixture, but ten games is actually quite a lot (it's more than a quarter of the season for goodness' sake!). Players like Kuszczak and Pique play a vital role in the squad -- solid backups who can be called upon when needed. They could be elsewhere playing first team football but they're not; they're here. And they did what they had to do when they were called upon.

I think they deserve a Premier League winner's medal.
