You sound like my mate, who is a very qualified sports scientist.
He's convinced Kante is juiced off his nuts.
He's proper studied his running speed etc etc.
He's still running at the same speed after 87 mins of a game as in the first 5 mins.
No other player manages this he says..

Hahaha..

He's probably 100% right on that.

Sake.
No way I'm telling him someone agrees with him.
He's not a blue, so no way he looks on here either.

It's when I see Lineker etc talking on telly about Kante "always being an 8/10 player, every game"
It certainly makes you think.

Thing is though, if he says Kante must be juicing cause no one else can keep up that level of performance, surely Kante isn't the only player on drugs in the PL if he is taking them.

That whole Leicester side was on the juice and you'll never convince me otherwise.

Booking a function room if they're banned for life. Everyone's invited - bring Red Stripe and songs about Steve Smith.

No idea mate.

I wish some of our midfielders didn't get tired though !

Some crazy nights drinking Red Stripe.

And as for songs, the barmy army lid leading the singing last night, and not knowing the words to Jerusalem was cringey as you like, with the camera focused right on him.

Would rather see them play the next game and get thumped again. Then watch them cry about people having the audacity to sledge them back for once.

Then they can ban them.

Just listened to Gilchrist on the radio.

Gutted Dosent come close.

I reckon this Aussie side are done you know.

Heard Jim Baxter earlier? Wow. Like you say, gutted dont come close.

Top class long distance runners generally run at the same speed for 2 hours, until the last 30 yards or so if a close finish.

Anyrate, not the best 24 hours for the baggy greens. Ho hum.

Yeah but the difference is as you stated. Long distance runners run at the same top speed consistently, footballers have to do lots of short sprints consistently. To be still nailing the same times when you're working at 80% of your best and putting down markers for distance run is downright remarkable

I heard that too.
Could hear his voice going.
Utter arrogance from Australia, and the 'great' sides had that too, in abundance, but didn't need to cheat. We hated those teams, but really, we respected the ability on the quiet.
I know my way round a cricket pitch, and this is just so poor and amateurish it's unbelievable.
I don't think for a second they were damaging the ball to get extra reverse swing, I think they just wanted to damage the ball and get it changed.
Far easier ways of doing this, but the credibility of the whole organisation is shot.

Gilchrist is a top bloke.

 

[PITA]

His post match conference was as pathetic as he is if the ball swings, threw his young mate under the bus who will kop the flak, bit bankcroft who looked genuinely gutted is expendable to the aussie 'leadership team'

What I noticed is there was no mention of the cheat word. They were simply trying to affect the behaviour of the ball. Also they tried to mitigate their cheating by saying that their efforts failed since the umpires did not change the ball. To my mind they are cheats but not very good cheats.

Gilchrist is a top bloke.

Big fan of him myself.
In fact, I'm a big fan of loads of Aussies, Dean Jones was my fave bat as a kid growing up too, that's why I imported Kookaburra myself before anyone in the Liverpool comp apart from the Aussie Chee Quee brothers at Liverpool cc had it.
As a left hand bat Mark Taylor was also a hero.. The list is endless for me.
This side, I never took to at all though. Warner just isn't for me, a jarg David Boon.

Steve Walsh brought the wrong juice ffs.........oh yeah, cricket....cheating barstewards.....
