    Lets face it he probably hasn't run anywhere since coming to SMS, a new experience for him

    When you're wrong as often as me it comes naturally.

    Still it could be worse, at least we didn't do this.

    We’re only wrong when we admit it. Stand firm.

    The players used to have blood tests several times a week under the old regime. Anyone know if that’s still the case. That’d stop him boozing.

    He doesn't booze as much as the rumours suggest however when he and the other players are given time off to enjoy their selves .......he certainly makes up for it.
    But when they have upcoming games for example when we were playing preseason in France ......he flew back and was at the same party as me,and when chatting to him I asked how was training going and he said because they are training he was only having 2 pints (which he did).
    And yes they have random drink and drug tests internally and externally.

    I don’t like Austin, he’s too normal.

    I prefer robots, ones that think they’re above us, and on a measly £100k, and having difficulty living off it. Legends in many peoples eyes.

    In today’s level of athleticism, it’s one of the sacrifices needed to be a top performer. I’d say more so for someone like Charlie because he didn’t have that core fitness as he came to the professional game late.

    So your point is “leave Charlie alone because he’s a normal bloke.” ???

    He's said that himself, working as a bricklayer and then playing non league his fitness wasn't great in the beginning ........in fact I remember a car journey we had you said he lacked core fitness where he played non league and wasn't at an academy from an early age.

    I wouldn’t care if Austin had the social habits of George Best or Paul Gascoigne - if he performed like them on the pitch. But he doesn’t.

    Whether I like him or not - I suspect I would - doesn’t really matter.

    Not sure what you mean by the clapping. Are you confirming or sarcastically clapping me?

    A normal bloke paid tens of thousands of pounds a week to impersonate a Premier League footballer.

    I like him for his previous work, but my god he is awful now.

    Really don’t know what has happened to him this season, he just looks so slow. Like he’s lost his spark of aggression

    He can score goals though, Charlie. Hardest thing to do on a football pitch that. We have strikers with good movement, who can’t score. And we have Charlie, who can score, but can’t move.

    He was poor yesterday though. Didn’t hold on to anything.

    Yesterday I described Callum Paterson as a slower, ****ter Charlie Austin, but that was before he bullied the gigantic Jannik Vestergaard into giving him the ball. That’s the sort of thing we hardly ever see Charlie doing, he almost never even tries to contest any ball with a defender. All his shots come when he is in space in or near the box. This is a shame because he used to jump for crosses or long balls from deep all the time.

    Call me a fool, but I have a vestigial hope that Ralph can get Charlie fit enough to bully defenders the way the overweight slob Paterson did yesterday.
