Why is there always a question about how important the fans are? He has his well practised responses, but it just seems a pointless question. maybe I'm just being a miserable git.

I would ask how he and the coaching staff are feeling as they are at risk of illness too. No coaching staff would be a bit of a setback

You can apply for a postponement if illness means you can't make up a squad of 14 players. Only senior contracted players and youth players who have appeared in a match day squad are counted towards that 14.

Great, another game impacted by illness. Can’t wait to see what side we cobble together on Friday.

Interesting to have it confirmed that MVE was physically sick at half time and after the game.
He definitely coughed a lot when walking off the pitch after being substituted, and now we have confirmation why.

These players are running through walls for the club right now. Just have to hope we’re past the worst of it by then and definitely so by Ipswich.

It's just luck really and timing.

As others have said, our players got it early. It's Christmas and other squads will be visiting families with young children. They will catch it.

Why are there so many questions about when Lampard was at Swansea in 1995?

Been pissing me off for weeks. Glad it's not just me.
That said I thought we were better at Southampton than we have been for ages.

We need to get the ill players around other clubs and teams make sure it spreads and we can take advantage later

Especially Wolfie, get him back to Ipswich over Christmas coughing and spluttering.

Guy off the ITV or BBC local news, then Andy Turner. Don’t know the others and can’t be bothered to google them.

I was fascinated to hear about how the club manages quarantine. Hopefully, next time we will get to hear about how often catering buys tea and coffee, or how the accounts department processes expense claims.

I feel the same. It's the easiest question to answer for anyone associated with the club - "Yeah, they're brilliant..."
I can see why they might ask it to players who are a bit more awkward about being interviewed, but Lampard is asked it every week pre and post match.

We should get all our sick players to visit the opposing teams changing rooms before each game to 'spread the love' lol

Both him and Lorna never ask one question.
They ask one, give no space to answer, ramble on then ask another two. They infuriate me.

I also, cannot stand, the weekly dance of asking the same questions (that FL doesnt want to answer) in a different way to try to get a response, get shot down, and then go “haha i have to ask”

no you fucking dont Lorna. You dont have to fucking ask

A few minutes into the game Saturday,when MVE took his first throw-in,you could see him shaking his head & taking hard swallows whilst reassuring his teammates that he was ok

I thought he asked the more interesting questions, or the least inane at any rate, compared to some of the others.
