You don't know much about nutrition and it's impact on the body, do you? A professional athlete should avoid processed food completely. The club should be making sure they have a proper post match recovery meal..

I agree about the club providing a proper post match meal. That said, the occasional fast food won’t have too much impact. Famously didn’t Bolt have chicken nuggets the night before the 100m final?

Aye but he was so far ahead of the opposition he could afford to.. and sponsorship might have had something to do with him saying that. These fat, lazy bastards haven't earned the right. I'd love to know what they've been told by the club's sports scientists and nutritionists, if we've got them!!

We probably don’t have them mate. It still pisses me off that the players were on the piss the day after the Pompey away game last season. Just over a week till the biggest game of season and rather than focusing on recovery, they were sinking pints

Somebody better hurry up tell the nearly-35 year old, ripped as fuck Ronaldo that he's a disgrace to his profession, before he ends up wasting his promising career. Sometimes he eats pizza, and some bloke on the internet in Sunderland thinks this makes him not 'a serious athlete'. Ronaldo discusses his strict diet regime but still can't live without pizza

In all seriousness, it isn't remotely a problem unless happening regularly. It also wasn't a problem when Maguire scored a hattrick earlier in the season, or last year when McGeady ripped up the league. The fact they're playing shit (along with almost everybody else)is the problem.

Did Ronaldo just lose against gillingham?

It's just another example of the lack of professionalism running through the club.. not massive on its own but symptomatic of the reasons why we're fucked as a club.

What I love about Richie Wellens he called it out last season and was angry after a game. Held his dignity and didn’t personally name them but weeded them out pre season.
Never forget I was out at a function and they were drinking pints.
This season same function and two of the new players not drinking alcohol.
We look fit, you have to be playing our style and not a coincidence we are looking good right now.
You need a disciplinarian type Manager with full control and the backing of the owner to get shot of these. Absolute disgraceful the selfish bastards.

To true Swindon, I'm in, sack Parky and we'll go for Wellens then. Thanks for the constant reports on his progress, much appreciated.

For the record NUFC under 18 team used to come back from matches on a coach with a chef on board.

That info came from an Ex player.

So did we in the Netflix season.

In the Peter Reid era we used to get fish and chips as a team

at least take the team out rather than having sorry sights like those seen in the opening post and will Grigg on his own on a train comfort eating a f***ing pizza

Went out for a bite to eat with a pal years ago along With Stephan Shwarz and Stan Varga and the girls.

Shwarz ordered 200g of pasta , I commented that it was a very precise amount , his reply was simple , it’ll take me an hour of exercise tomorrow to burn that off.

Steve Bould was clear that the overall package of science and exercise brought in by Wenger extended his career by three years.
 
My take on all of this is, you have to wonder what life's like at the acadmey, because i do wonder what the fitness department is like, can't see sport science being a big thing in league one, so i wonder what the catering for the players looks like.
 
Sums up the seemingly lack of professionalism running through the club, imo.

Dinosaurs and chancers making the decisions it seems. No way will these lot appoint someone to shake things up and bring in what’s required attitude wise because they would be the first ones called out, I think.

My god are you working at the club and know there fitness test results , no thought not. Some fans can’t seem to tell the difference between playing shit and zero confidence to being unfit . This unfit rubbish gets trotted out every time we are struggling

They wouldn't have double chins if they were fit man, poor professionals not looking after their bodies, eating shit.
