NSG Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Sam Allardyce's innovative training methods at Newcastle have led to problems. His vibrating muscle toner machines give players an uncontrollable urge to visit the toilet. (The Sun) From The Sun: BIG Sam Allardyce’s training methods have sent his Newcastle stars running to the loo. The new Toon boss has had vibrating Power-Plate machines — popular with showbiz stars — delivered to the club’s training HQ. But his first-team players, who get a full workout by standing on the platforms, say the shakes make them need the toilet. A St James’ Park source said: “The lads have joked it loosens things up downstairs. They stand on the plates for up to an hour, so try to make sure they answer the call of nature beforehand. “There’s no doubt about the fitness benefits, but last thing they want is an unexpected spot of Newcastle Brown.” The former Bolton gaffer has also come up with a solution to Newcastle’s injury curse — emu droppings. He wants players to use a special oil produced by emus. Allardyce first introduced the oil at Bolton two years ago, with impressive results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ridzuan Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 If its effective for the players fitness,then I wouldnt mind! But if the players have the urge to go to the loo while they are playing on the pitch,then his method has to change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the training staff have a bit more common sense than thou and won't let them near the machines before a game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Those ice baths that players go into straight after a game are supposed to have no real benefits. They stop the body from feeling like you've been running into a wall repeatedly for an hour the day after any exercise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:fa38sQY57m9qSM:http://taltos.pha.jhu.edu/~tamas/files/images/emu.jpg Its all very well to laugh.....! Here in Australia, Emu Oil(NOT S---)has been used by the Aborigines for years, both as a treatment for aches/pains etc and other ailments. In fact, I buy it from a guy who breeds them about 20 miles away - he is in his 80's and uses a drop on his breakfast every day - it has reduced his cholesterol from 6.3 to 3.8(this happened within 2 months of taking the stuff).His face & skin have very few wrinkles, so I've started doing the same(not EVERY day, mind..!!)and no probs so far. Sam might just be on to something here - at the very least, it will give Dyer one less excuse for not being fit....!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as an unfit bastard that plays weekend league, I can tell you getting into a cold pool after the game for me is sometimes the only thing that allows me to work the next day.
