Why do they have to wait until 4a.m to get leathered? Some kind of penance first?

[Albion] Your team loses 2-1 away from home and you go on the lash like you’ve won. Thoughts?

I've always taken that as a reason to go to the pub and get sloshed to be honest.....

But our players are ROBOTS who are programmed to do whatever the supporters want them to do.

Living the dream
As they had an intense schedule over Xmas and NY, why the hell not with 10 days to go to the next PL game. They are footballers, not priests. It's ok to let your hair down at the right time.
One argument that always rubs me up the wrong way, is one I had the other day with a fellow Albion fan.
I suggested the players put in a lethargic performance in a recent game (can't remember which) as they seemed a bit tired.
His response?
"Tired?! They're paid £60,000 a bloody week, how can they be tired?"
I have to admit I hadn't realised that once you receive over a certain amount of funds you cease to be a regular human being and become an automaton with a bottomless well of energy to draw from. Also, at the top level - where modern footballers are finely tuned, top athletes - the slightest lack of energy will make a big difference.
It's the same line of thinking that will argue that if you earn over a certain amount it is also impossible to ever be unhappy, have any marriage problems, or ever be depressed.

Ah Mary ..those were the days
I have a feeling the players might have been in on Sunday training. Can't see it having happened if they were
If they weren't in the following day and they had the day off then, If they want to get out and get absolutely blootered, it is none of our business.
I always go out on the lash like I’ve won!

Isn't Manchester their favorite haunt?
Christmas parties for the last few years seem to be there. Maybe someone has a loyalty card for a bar.

Thankfully footballers aren't known for the Priest-like shenanigans too often.
The OP should read Peter Crouch's excellent book "How to be a Footballer". Not only is it very funny but he also talks about how much adrenaline players still have after a game, even if they've played for only 10 minutes. He reckons it's impossible to sleep properly after an evening game and difficult if you've been in a high profile afternoon one. Like, say, in front of 70000 people at Old Trafford. Plus, if the OP read that for a while it would keep him off here, the tedious troll. That said...
This with bells on. There's no other way is there?

They can go to the pub, it’s just that it indicates they are not as committed and focused as some other elite athletes. That’s fine with me, just hope it’s occasionally and not excessive
You're assuming the OP knows what a book is.

Lol. I’ve read the book and he states he would never go out on the lash after losing a game !! When he was younger he did, at least tell the truth in your post.
Ok, so if we lost at home to West Brom on Saturday and you see some of the players pissed up in town you’d just shrug it off ? If any of you had some balls you’d go and speak to them about it, but all you’d end up doing is getting a selfie
Indeed. And the OP has in the past started a thread entitled something like 'don't you sometimes want to punch someone really hard in the face (for no reason)?'. He's a feckkin idiot, on my ignore list, and will probably be booted off NSC when he annoys one of the mods again. The sooner the better. ****.

Are you counting 'Georgie' in on that mate
He may have GOD like status in my eyes but football has changed, his regime would not have lasted ten minutes in today's game. He also may have lived his short life to the full but excess was also the sad demise of an iconic footballer.
