A goal a game. Are you not entertained?!

100% he is. There's an old Guardian story about him looking completely dumbfounded when someone asked him if Elmo was observing Ramadan.

More likely to be exercise-induced bronchoconstriction; it's very common among elite athletes. They'll likely be prescribed inhalers - a reliever such as salbutamol and a preventer such as Fostair. A therapeutic dose of either isn't going to give them a competitive advantage. The above is assuming they've undergone an objective test rather than just been diagnosed using a questionnaire. They wouldn't be taking them if it wasn't going to give them some kind of advantage. 63% asthmatic vs. 12% in general population can't just be a coincidence There's a real lack of evidence for any sort of meaningful performance-enhancing effects of salbutamol when under the controlled upper limit, especially in team sports. You'd have to be taking around 16 doses of the thing over the course of the day to exceed the controlled upper limit, risking a failed p*ss test. Like I said earlier, this is all assuming they've done the objective test. It's not something you can really cheat, and it's a pretty unpleasant test to undergo (tests of lung function before and after inhaling dry air for 6 minutes). Fair enough. You are obviously more qualified than me to speak on this. Do know it's been a big controversy in cycling in recent years with teams getting TUEs based on a ridiculous proportion of the cyclists being asthmatic I've done the test and been diagnosed, but I'm by no means an authoritative voice on the subject. I just think a lot of the time the controversy is overblown. Even if the athletes are absolutely caning the stuff, any performance-enhancing effect is likely to be negligible. For a lot of them it's probably a placebo type situation.

This too. Swimmers are notorious for having such problems, but then they spend most of their training time breathing in swimming pool air. Endurance athletes are likely to spend ages outdoors breathing in cold/polluted/allergen filled air at much higher rates than the general population.

"Well, it was a tough game today wu got wer backsides kicked. It's always tough when you have to play the last few minutes with 10 men."

Nee chance. Of course it is man. He's got no excuses, he knows Lewis is there which makes it ludicrously reckless.

Almirón

In fairness to Bruce, who could've foreseen Lamptey being a massive threat?

He's an absolute fucking tattie.

How was that not a foul on Fredericks? WTF? or was it given? I don't remember. The first shocker made by Fredericks? It was pulled back for a foul IIRC but obviously no yellow, as he was booked for the second one later in the game.

His dribbling ability is absolutely obscene.

Oi lav Habib buy!

Weren't they selling actual match tickets for the league cup for a tenner last season?

You must've loved last season's front foot football then.

Jesus Hendrick Superstar

Please stop calling him Hendricks.

I'd have put money on MA being a no-mask truther, like.

Jeff Hendrick, master assister.

Antonio doing his utmost to keep his massive thighs on show is downright weird.

He's the champion of talking absolute bollocks about NUFC, like. I hope JFH was laughing at him because he knows the copious amounts of shite he's talking.

Wilson and Lewis have made a real difference because they're both confident, competent footballers. ASM continues to be pure entertainment on the ball. Thought Carroll was also impressive but he must be absolutely paggered now, knowing him. Hendrick has faded into the background exactly like he was expected to. We should've definitely scored one or two but we're still looking rather suspect at the back.

The delay on that fake crowd noise, bloody hell.
