I think he has already lost the dressing room. It is rock bottom pub team management to regard harder training to be any kind of answer.  Sweating the players will only make them deeply resentful, singling them out for blame only makes matters worse. What Sherwood has brought about is the Bomb Squad revisited.  The only difference is that Lambert put the players he did not like in the kids team, Sherwood puts them on a treadmill.  It is basically the same thing - player punishment.  Next thing we will hear is that Libor Kozak has twatted him one.

I note one of the Spurs players was interviewed today and put his improved form down to the amount of pre-season running they did and how it has improved fitness levels.

I think Hugo Lloris said something similar last season.

I think I have a mild form of Tourettes which only manifests itself at the appearance of Allardyce, where I find myself making a request for two pork chops and some mince every time I catch sight of him. The thought of his fucking awful brand of football for the next seven years or whatever ridiculous amount of time our idiot owner would offer him in the event of Sherwood being sacked is bad enough without the prospect of blurting that out every bloody day.

What with the 'Bake Off' comments and now this, i think I'm suffering from the same condition.

I think it's Hadenoughofoverpaidfuckingchancers syndrome.

That is not Tourette's Syndrome Chris. Tourette himself on seeing a fat man from Dudley would have asked for a bottle of Vimto and a packet of pork scratchings.  What you have got is referred to in medical circles as Jameson's Syndrome.  Have you made a will?

You on the other hand Lee have Villavia Astonitis, often confused with Jameson's Syndrome.  Very soon you will think you are an armchair.  Stay indoors on Bonfire Night.

Klopp is about to make Liverpool players work a lot harder, with an insistence that they do more than any other side is willing to in order to get results.

I actually think there is something in Sherwood saying that we're not fit enough to play they way he wants [i.e. the way Cleverley and Delph were at points last season]. The question is why aren't they prepared physically to do that?

I don't buy any of this lost the dressing room business at all. I would love it if he played a settled side and system instead of faffing around with it from half to half.

I'll be gutted if Sunderland pull off the Moyes appointment as that's probably going to keep them up and secure their future. We could do a lot worse. Tim may come good but I'm worried that we don't have the time to wait and find out.

Me too.

He consistently had Everton playing better football and finishing above us. He'd be a great fit.

Not sure about better football, Everton fans used to say the same about him as we did MON, decent results but 'basic' football. Although that does sound quite appealing right now.

I always thought they were a better outfit than us under O'Neill.

To be honest, the football didn't bother me too much under O'Neill. We weren't a pub team as some suggested and I quite liked the fact that we would win a good number of games and lose very few. I liked that other sides didn't like us and that everybody universally agreed before playing us that "it will be a tough game against Villa".

I've got a full time job yet I manage to fit in training for the London Marathon with a time of 3:51 last April after many gruelling  training sessions in all weathers. Running is great fitness - I'd have thought that was basic requirement for any player - especially when they're paid tens of thousands every week. I can't believe that some players are not fit enough to last 90 minutes - totally unprofessional! The club is a shambles from top to bottom.

Its a case of fine margins in professional athletes. I'm sure they're fit, but then so are the opposition, so if you're looking to do more running than the average, then you'll come unstuck.

Its odd though, as by and large, we generally dominate possession these days.
