Could the humble chicken burger have caused the pasta meltdown ?

[Guest Bob Hazels shorts]

Very odd one to have deep fried chicken as Claudio is suggesting. Ala Maryland.

 

The Chef at the training ground Gary has been their donkeys years, he travels with the team generally and gets involved in all meals.

He is advised by Nutritionist, the current one Chris would not allow deep fried chicken, or strongly recommend against it.

 

Deep fried food is a no no, players would pull up with guts ache and fall like flies

 

Pasta is not ideal either as it is slow releasing carbs, OK for a cricketer or marathon runner.

 

Usually clean natural food, possibly oven baked chicken.

I imagine the chicken burgers be a lot cheaper than what we get in the turnstiles

I expect the team to all be at a Chicken processing plant next time we keep a clean sheet , mechanically reclaiming meat from the rotten carcasses of chickens , then making burgers from the plastic meat , them  all sitting down to a glorious chicken burger ! 

Going to Southampton.

Build a KFC, it's so obvious.

KPFC surely?

Tell the players they get free Maryland chicken if they win every game.

Tut tut, Fuchs breaks chicken ban!

Danny Simpson reveals Claudio Ranieri's tinkering with players diets started Leicester's slide

 

Simpson has admitted that Ranieri's tinkering began to frustrate players in his second season at the club, as well as revealing his surprise at the fallout after his sacking

 

Danny Simpson has revealed that Leicester players began losing patience in former manager Claudio Ranieri when he began tinkering with their diets, as well as admitting that everyone at the club felt stung by the amount of criticism levelled at them in the wake of his departure.

 

Ranieri led Leicester to the Premier League title in his first season at the club, but was sacked in February with the champions languishing in 17^th position, just one point above the relegation zone.

 

A number of reports claimed Ranieri lost the confidence of his dressing room in his last few weeks at the club, with Simpson appearing to confirm that some of the squad grew particularly frustrated when the Italian began micro-managing their diets.

 

“After games, we would have chicken burgers and potato wedges and he then changed them to sweet potatoes and pasta,” Simpson told the Times.

 

“I understand his point but the lads liked what we were used to, chicken and wedges.”

 

Ranieri was eventually sacked by the Srivaddhanaprabha family, a highly contentious decision which polarised the world of football

 

And Simpson admits to have being taken aback by the negative reaction, as portions of the club’s support base began to turn on their own team.

 

“It went crazy. We were getting it from all angles, even from some of our own fans. We were called snakes,” he said.

 

“It was disappointing to see Claudio leave and we got that much stick it made us angry. We felt it was unjustified.

 

“We appreciated what he'd done, he's a top man, an infectious character. At the time, it [Ranieri's sacking] was seen as a loss for football.”

Be interesting to see what the Times prints, given that was who the interview was with.

What he said about the players' social media silence was interesting. Made sense after all when they were going to see Claudio in person anyway

[waylander]

A long way from the pizza clean sheets .

[VLC86]

In a serious reply to the OP, I was told by somebody that genuinely this massively pissed the players off.

 

Edit- just seen that DS confirmed this. I must have missed the part where the players got called snakes....

[Ted Maul]

Absolutely hate that they got the 'snakes' treatment from some of our own fans. What planet are some people on? Have these players not earned the right to be given the benefit of the doubt over the years?

That's it boys, get in there quick before he spouts his mouth on MNF

Yep, Fuchs has had something to say as well............. And I don't think CR will say anything damning about the club or the players

 

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a quotation from the 1599/ 1600 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to indicate that a person's overly frequent or vehement attempts to convince others of something have ironically helped to convince others that the opposite is true, by making the person look insincere and defensive.

[FoxinNotts]

Was certain this was a Rachel thread!

[EGBFitness]

Compared to some professional teams, chicken burgers and wedges is relatively healthy for a post match meal. 

 

Goes back to the whole, if it ain't broke why fix it. 

 

Hate the fact that the squad is aware some fans branded them snakes.

Doesn't Vardy have a couple of cans of redbull and a packet of jolly ranchers before each match?

I'm getting the same feeling about this forum.

 

This thread is about as funny as a dose of syphillis.
