Love it. Gets up, buggers off to the gym. Comes back, reads for a bit, expects wife to have lunch ready. Graciously devotes an hour and a half to his autistic son, then gives himself another two hours to recover by playing computer games. Cooks dinner once a week (wife does all the other meals...

Well. You say that. It's well known that teams document far fewer injuries when they're playing well and on form. In that scenario, players are desperate to keep their place, so they play through niggles, and mentally they're in the right place to make correct decisions on the pitch (ie less...

On reflection, I suppose it should be no surprise that poor Olise has troublesome hammys, given that he has to carry ten other blokes for ninety minutes every week.

Different views here, as ever. Can we all agree at least that it's extremely amusing?

Of course they'll have scans and do tests, consider load management etc, but even the most advanced sports scientists are limited to a degree by the information the athlete is giving them, ie does it hurt, does it feel tight etc. If Olise is telling them it's all golden, what are they supposed...

Olise now out for a minimum of two more months with his injury. Which is a shame :D The wailing from Palace fans at this has been quite spectacular. We were literally talking at half time in the game about whether it would be worth Hodgson bringing him on for a game that could easily have been...

The only thing Arsenal have done wrong there is failing to check with Nottingham Forest whether it was acceptable to celebrate.

So did Palace, give them some credit :clap2:

Olise reported to be out for two months now, according to their Athletic reporter Matt Woosnam (usually a good source). Shame for him, as he genuinely is a fabulous player, and the one man in their squad that I'd have at the Albion in a heartbeat (I think Eze's a bit overrated and Guehi doesn't...

Wait: what the hell is Crysstal Malace?

The implication that private doctors are somehow better in their field than NHS ones is quite insulting. The only difference it's going to make if you go privately is that you might get your initial referrals a couple of weeks quicker. Once you have cancer, you have cancer: while I don't have...

I did hear a lot in the summer about how Chelsea, especially Mudryk, were going to be "cooking" this season. It appears somebody at the Bridge forgot to turn the oven on.

It's just a delight that, not only have they smashed all this money on players who've turned out to be garbage for them, but they're all on handsome wages and long contracts so if nobody else can afford their wages, they will sit there, draining Chelsea's budget for years to come, just like...

He strikes me as somebody who will be a very good pundit in time, but who currently comes across as rather nervous- look at the mix up with Carragher's name earlier. Hopefully he relaxes a bit as I think what he has to say is pretty decent. City 2-1.

If you've watched much of Brentford's games this season, you'll realise that's not saying much.

Oh Alisson :lolol:

Konate sent off. Van Dijk has been horrendous today. I'm assuming the tears in his eyes from learning about Klopp's departure have impaired his ability to see the ball or the opponents running past him.

Forgive me if I've not made my joke obvious enough :wink:

A few left after the third goal. Then when Olise went off injured, a bunch more walked out. Judging by the escort from the Amex at the end though, I don't think they all went straight home. They probably hung around in the concourse, drinking and working out whether it was worth trying to...

...to stop the Always Ultras buying any tickets for today's game, I thought. They've always previously been such an inspirational presence with their singing and their flags and their little fireworks, so it seems a bit mean of the club that they refused to let them into the ground today. Must...
