I reckon our backroom staff are getting all this performance enhancing stuff all wrong, and are giving our players sleeping pills.

There was a sleeping pill called Stillnax that was popular with cyclists in the late 90s after some bright spark realised that when mixed with booze it caused you to go absolutely mental for a few hours, pass out and remember nothing... There were guys doing like 12 of them at a time.

But you're talking miniscule improvements with things like Ketones. Xenon gas was the big thing a while ago. Jumbo weren't that successful in the classics, they were a lot better in the big tours (where doping to aid recovery would be much more beneficial).

Every elite sporting organization are sailing as close to the wind as they dare with supplements and performance management. City have that bonkers cryo chamber, Chelsea got investigated for platelet injections to speed recovery, Wenger was convinced Serie A was off the charts in terms of blood doping and there were several footballers who were identified in the Puerto investigation.

The fact is that if Liverpool are running an organized player doping ring then most of the premier league is. It's not complicated or expensive. However, with the amount of times PL players are tested in a year and the bio passport, I'm not convinced its possible. Perhaps one or two players free lance micro dosing, but to not trigger the passport you'd have to use at such a low level the benefit would be negligible.

Bio passports last I heard was for Olympic sports, if you fail it takes years for it to come out, they are still awarding medals from the London Olympics, taking drugs that aren't on the list solely to give you the upper hand is cheating , personally I would let them take cyanide.

Bio passport is a live document for blood values. What you're seeing in london is retested samples detecting drugs which were undetectable back then.
 

I have to say that RAWK has really surpassed itself since our AGM last week. They’ve suddenly all turned into accountants and have convinced themselves that we’re about to go under and that there is no chance of building our stadium.

Doesn’t matter that a multi-billion pound holding company has already given £30m as an incentive to be the stadium’s sponsor and the club have got the planning application in, no, some full-kit wearing tosser thinks he knows better than that.

That doesn't really suprise me mate. Their fans seem to know a lot more about what's going on at Goodison thesedays than even we do. They're way beyond obsessed.
 
Even my polish mate who follows leiga thinks something not right with the fitness levels.
No,lurkers, before you think I encouraged him,he said he was surprised at their starting line up is predominantly unchanged and/or injury free.
 
It may have been covered previously, but IF it happens that they can win the VAR cup at Goodison, are we going the match or not. I think the bigger and wider problem will be the outside of the ground. You could potentially get thousands around the stadium whilst the match is on and then as soon as the gates open at full time loads heading in. A few years back, United won it last game and their fans ran in at full time to see the trophy. It would be horrific but also dangerous and there's just going to be murder everywhere between fans. I haven't missed a home game yet but I may skip this one

Is there anything more cringe than ‘Boss Nights’? Another exaggeration to make it look like they represent the city.

No. Theres nothing worse or more cringe.
They make out that they have been at the forefront of 'fan culture' since time began but look more closely and you'll see that theres a clever clique of them who are succesfully monetising this idea of 'fan culture'.
And more fool those who pay up. Who on earth would spend money going to sing football songs ... without any football? Truly bizarre.

There is actually. Anyone ever seen that "poet" Dave Kirby?

All his poems are just about getting an apple off his mam and travelling 75 days in the luggage rack from Lime Street to Rome.

Him and some other fella who write those Scouse plays at the Royal Court seem to think they are the jedi council on Scouseness.
