The Ides of March said:
If the food from the vendors is outside the stadium but on premises belonging to the club, then the club should not give them a licence to sell there. And if you wrote to the club about the quality of food within the confines of the stadium, then the club should do something about this. If enough people shared your view and you told them you were going to write to Jamie Oliver about the sub-standard fare on offer to fans inside football stadia, the club might just begin to pay attention to its customers needs. After all it worked for school dinners, why not food a sporting venues.

Anyhow, take my tip, if you go the West Ham away, find a good bar that serves these wonderful Greek or Mexican tapas and enjoy a good glass of wine.

You're right Ides, I will write to them.

This is an excellent Saints foundation programme: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/arti...ints-fans-in-training-foundation-3144577.aspx

A similar and extremely successful & popular with participants research project run by NIHR across the SPFL in Scotland, found those who participated (overweight male football fans) lost nearly 9 times as much weight as those who didn't: http://www.ffit.org.uk http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/news/all/2015/football-fans-in-training-to-tackle-obesity

From the saints website: (http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/fans/Home-fans/)
"Food and Drink

There is a range of food and drink available within the stadium concourse. Supporters can enjoy cheeseburgers, hotdogs, pasties, pies and chicken burgers in every stand, along with soft drinks, hot drinks and alcoholic beverages. We also serve snacks and sweets.

...As well as food outlets inside the stadium concourse, there are a number of food vans on the footprint outside the ground where you can purchase food and drink before heading into the stadium."

Outside the ground there are multiple burger vans selling burgers/cheeseburgers/chips/soft drinks etc.

Being obese can increase the risk of many illnesses, For example, it increases chances of having high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease and stroke - and after smoking, is the most preventable cause of cancer. Male obesity is more prevalent in the UK than in the rest of Europe and is set to increase at a faster rate than female obesity in the next 40 years. Current trends suggest that 60 percent of men will be obese in England by 2050, with figures for Scotland likely to be similar, and it is predicted that the link between obesity and socioeconomic deprivation, already evident in women, will soon appear in men.

I personally think Jamie Oliver is a dick, but his campaign against the then menu for school dinners was excellent, and as I was a child at the time the change from pizza/burgers every day to healthy food was amazing. All the info above doesn't include alcohol - also consumed on match days by what I would imagine is a large proportion of attending fans.

Lucky boy Mane. Something Liverpool need to get out of his game.
 
Matip looks dodgy. Janssen looks average though, no way would I move Kane to get that guy in.

Nope. Lamela clipped his heels.

It's not as much of a penalty as the Clasie-Shaw incident in my view, and you were the only person who thought that was a penalty.

The slightest, slightest, slightest touch.
