i agree that modern day players are fitter and healthyer…..but i would reserve judgement as for more skillful
conditions yesteryear were (as a lot of you have said) harder and less money plus the equiptment in todays game is highly technical and obviously better
boots balls shirts blah blah blah….
but you know the ONE thing that angers me about the players involved in the modern game…….tiredness…holy fu/ck i hate it when they say that…prima donas the whole fu/cking lot of them…and ill give you an example
to touch upon something that was said in an earlier post…tennis players…
for example..if one tennis player got to the final of wimbledon…with playing an average of 3 hours per round….add that to the 6 rounds it takes to get to the final….
then thats an average of ……3240 minutes played in 2 weeks (not to mention if they play in doubles and mixed doubles)
a footballer??…….180 minutes in 2 weeks……
thats just one “shakey example”…. but the next time you hear a manager or player complaining about …too many games or being tired then tell them to shove their £15,000 to £100,000 A WEEK (covering all bases there) up their sodden tired fu/cking arses
i thank you :wink:
