It's pretty shocking that Conte's finding the players aren't fit enough. Should be bare minimum stipulation in their contracts surely?

History fans, does anybody else remember when Sammy used to say that people who said exactly this weren't real fans like him?It’s ironic because I was being berated before the match for saying it would be a tough match. That was negative remember
It was you experts who saw the same massive improvements against Vitesse who decided we would go and walk over Everton.
You’ve tricked yourself into believing this squad is good.
There’s about 8 players who need to leave yesterday

So, what's better for you, one spoon of sugar in your tea, or half a spoon and a sweetener? Genuine question. Assuming 3 cups of tea per day.Ketchup is full of either sugar or artificial sweetener. It's probably more symbolic than the actual ketchup, but to be at peak fitness you should be avoiding processed sugars and sweeteners do nothing good at all.
I don’t believe it for a second, look at Moura and Son, will run all day.It's pretty shocking that Conte's finding the players aren't fit enough. Should be bare minimum stipulation in their contracts surely?
The difference is that people were saying it when we were in a title race and playing possibly our best football in 30 yearsHistory fans, does anybody else remember when Sammy used to say that people who said exactly this weren't real fans like him?
Son and Moura do look very fit, but Son's getting daily bollockings from his Dad, and Moura seems to be more driven and focussed than most. I agree several look sluggish and slow.I don’t believe it for a second, look at Moura and Son, will run all day.
Some of our players are just slow or lazy or both
Nutritional experts, what's so wrong with ketchup in moderation? Do all other elite players eschew it all the time.
Full disclosure: fancied a bowl of chips for supper with the film I'm watching while the missus is out. Had ketchup. And mustard. Bit of nice wine now.
That said, I'm not turning out for any kind of demanding sports activity any time soon.
So many splinters in your bum from that fence.Me? When the fuck did I say that. Seriously you REALLY need to stop attributing what some people said to other people just because they maybe have similar opinions. I said in the match day thread the Everton game was going to be tough and Conte hasn't had enough time to change much.
And yes, we need huge squad turnover. I haven't fucking disagreed with that, stop throwing me in with a bunch of other people because you've also argued with them at some point ffs. The squad is mostly shit, said it LOADS.

It’s ok to have an opinion with some conviction behind it.
You want the squad overhauled but you want everyone to get a clean slate.
You want Kane dropped but his form isn’t his fault
Stop saying you didn’t say things, you’re a mess
Say it isn't so! That's so unlike our SammyYou accuse me of having opinions I don't have all the fucking time.
Mrs might return in a 'good' mood mate!!Nutritional experts, what's so wrong with ketchup in moderation? Do all other elite players eschew it all the time.

Like Harry Winks, I'll disappoint
I’m in the bodybuilding game + yes I eat strict most of the time but eating a bit of shit now + again does no harm + actually shocks the body for the bestVery little, honestly. It's got a lot of processed sugars which aren't great for you, but as long as you're not throwing it on everything you're absolutely fine. Most of these kind of rules at top clubs are because disciplinarians want to control every aspect they can.
Some of the fittest people I know (yeah .. anecdotal evidence!!) have chicken and chips practically every evening because they meet their requirements and want the extra cals after a hard day. They also run marathons at way faster times than me and can do a silly amount of pull ups. You don't have to be a super clean eater to be fit at all.
"Maybe if I keep saying that KaNe DoEsN't GeT SeRvICe, people won't notice that Kane has a 5% shot conversion rate (one of the loweset in the PL among strikers) and negative goals above xG..."I will when you stop fucking lying, you utter clown. You accuse me of having opinions I don't have all the fucking time. The only mess is you with your own inability to distinguish between different posters who say different things. Only the other day you said I accused you of being a gooner, which I never said. Then you said some shit about me saying Lewa/Kane were on par, which I never did. Stop saying dumb shit and I'll stop calling it out.
And it's called having nuance, rather than having shitty entrenched, agenda fuelled opinions like you do. I want players to have an opportunity to prove themselves but fundamentally believe we need to invest regardless. I've never said Kane's form isn't 'his fault', quite the fucking opposite, but you think saying service is poor = Kane's off the hook. Because you think anything which tries to explain our lack of goals other than 'Kane fucking shit' is just excusing him.
All you want is to have one group of people in one camp, and a bunch in the other, so both sides can spew toxic opinions with no middle ground, ever.
