You wonder if any of them actually have a 'footballing' brain that can read a game.... Benteke certainly doesn't!

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

You realise that the teams in the lower leagues are not as good, right? Just because they play more games doesn't mean they play at the same standard and of course they have the same issue. I'm pretty sure with the amount of sports science involved with top flight across the board that the training is tailor made for the sport which is played.

That just about sums up Benteke performance so far, about as much use as a chocolate radiator in a big freeze! we look poor and not likely to score!

In grumpymort’s case, it isn’t. But that won’t stop him. He’s like a turd that won’t flush.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Cabaye looks absolutely bollocksed.

That's the danger of a thin squad, whereas the likes of Citibank can put out a second 11 of top four standard.

Well that was pretty dire. HTF are we supposed to play football in these conditions? Weather barely playable, pitch like a f***ing pumpkin patch, two days after the last match and an opposition who had an extra 50% recovery time.

Given that it takes three days before the time between matches is ceases ca level playing field why is it beyond the wit of man to fix it so that matches are at least that far apart for each team? A 50% differential in recovery time < 3 days is hardly fair.
