Manager Antonio Conte

I do love that the gist of the Athletic article from this morning was pretty much 1) training is intense; 2) he asks 100% from his players, and; 3) Conte is meticulous in optimizing the squad, including diet, tactics, and building a team spirit.
Basically, a top level manager. Nothing in there is particularly noteworthy outside of his temper.
Still can't believe we got him.

Scenes when a picture is released of Conte hosting Kane and Hugo to a meal at Salt Bae's fuckbaggery of a steakhouse.
As opposed to this:
Full of nitrates a performance athlete should be well clear of (and anyone of any faith, or interest in truly being well).
Or, that early season meat fest, where Romero, Lo Celso, Reguilon, Lloris (others?) had enough meat to feed a small country (can't find pic, then they looked collectively starved of oxygen the next fortnight!!! Not enough focus by the club, until now I hope.
Maybe you should have put an application in.

That was given to him at christmas. Most top athletes have days off from strict diets. Even Ronaldo has cheat days, they aren't machines and require some days where they aren't living totally restricted diets.
These guys burn huge amounts of calories, the odd bit of unhealthy food in their diet won't have that much of an impact.

Can't beat a good kebab tho' eh.....
Conte is the modern day Souness.
That picture was post match after beating Man City last November. Mourinho then gave him another one of those at Christmas thinking he’d be alone, when he broke lockdown rules
Ah fair. I only remember the Christmas debacle.
Overall it shouldn't be an issue anyhow, unless Reguilon went home and scoffed the whole thing. As long as most of the time they're eating healthily, some treats/not so healthy stuff is normal. The amount of calories these guys burn during daily training will be insane.
“He’s just like Jose”
Only thing they have in common is short-termism.
Conte never leaves behind a broken, divided club
You can’t help but love this guy. He’s so professional, everything he’s said and done since arriving has been classy and dignified. It would be a travesty if Levy doesn’t grab the bull by the horns and back him with the ammunition to get us firing again. We can’t let this slip through the fingers, surely? COYS
And Jose!Won 3-2 first match under Poch as well.
Agreed - especially now with Mason pushing his mates into the fore again
Lamb I've got much less of an issue with, philosophically and biochemically.
You're one of them, noted.
It was actually after he shut out (can't recall who), as a reward, mid-season. Porkly gift from a porkly person.
Your manager, repeatedly giving you excessively huge joints of meat, known for high nitrate toxicity.
It's like you defending Lewis Hamilton's team razzing his car between races on forecourt oil and petrol, to let it loose.
As noted, you have no clue about a mentality set vital for elite success, IMO, in nutritional terms.
I've recently gone meat and dairy free with less bread (due to long covid symptoms which seem to be getting worse), feeling much better after just a week. more energy and no heaviness, blood rushes or aches after a meal, Its called the GBOMBS diet (greens, beans,onions. etc,mushrooms, berries, seeds etc. highly recommended (so far).As opposed to this:

My philosophy has always a bit of everything, but now its obvious that you've got to cut out or drastically reduce certain foods, especially if you're a pro athlete.
