We forgive him for that and move on. Show us quality performances on the pitch. Start with a great performance vs Man City.
I still don't see the funny side of this particularly..and I don't think this is me being dull etc, I just think it's poor form personally and you should make sure you are in the best physical condition you can be for training and preperation as well as match day. I also don't find the manager making a joke about it impressive when he could just say it's not an issue and he is talking to Vlad in private. But I am definitely in the minority it seems, so perhaps i'm being critical for criticsms sake.
She's more lucky ...Don't think any athlete should get to the point were they can't stand.
Also he's lucky he didn't slam the girls face down on that railing.
I'm not suggesting you haven't been ... this is NOT a dig! But have you ever been in peak peak physical condition? Like pro athelete fit? You can drink a glass and a 1/2 of wine and be like that!I still don't see the funny side of this particularly..and I don't think this is me being dull etc, I just think it's poor form personally and you should make sure you are in the best physical condition you can be for training and preperation as well as match day.

Yeah i hear you, but honestly man it can take you by suprise. I haven't been fit like that either in my life, but a good friend is often, he does triathlons and ultra marathons and that, and when he's in his training regime even though he is careful, sometimes the slightest drink just takes the legs out from under him and he is a mess.No, no I most certainly havent! Does that make it right though, he fell over with no control-could have rolled his ankle etc...I just don't think it is right to be in that state during the season personally. I just think it's irresponsible. Just my opinion.
Not the part about you being dull@absolute bobbins Which bit do you disagree with, just out of interest?

I think we can put this down to a mistake tbh!
Exactly, what are we going to do, Ban all players from doing anything that could remotely injure them - No going out in the snow, plastic scissors, install non slip bath mats in all of their showers?
It was his weekend off!
Yes I understand that, and I have already said that it is not the bioggest issue. But I am surprised at the amount of people who find it amusing or accept it as simply ok. Alcohol can effect your sleep cycle and therefore retention of new instruction/knowledge-we're preparing for a game where he HAS to remember strict instruction in split seconds. Alcohol effects the energy due to glucose production, he has to train and compete for his place. Before a game against a team we lost 6-0 I would have just wanted that little bit professionalism in being in the very very best condition, that's all.
what Sherwood actually said...
“I did see that, yes,” said a bemused but unfazed Sherwood. “I’ve fallen over in the snow before and all.
“He’s had a weekend off and he’s got to play well on Wednesday.
“No (he will not face a fine), he wasn’t breaking any rules.
“For his own sake you wish he didn’t (do it).
“He was unsteady on his legs by the looks of it; it must have been windy over there.”
If he does the nature of this thread will take a very sudden turn!This is the bit I like. Vlad really won't want to fuck up tonight.
I find it strange how the drinking culture is just accepted in football. When you consider the advancements in every area in the last 20 years using sports science to get every possible edge on opponents, it seems bizarre to me how something like alcohol is allowed to prevent these athletes getting in peak shape.
When you compare the professional outlook and commitment most other sports have towards drinking during competition season it just seems irresponsible that it just widely seem as acceptable behaviour for people, who are after all, athletes.
