No they're not because if they were you'd be in complete agony rather than having a bit of muscle pain; I get it in bed occasionally and the only way to get rid is to leap out and stand/stretch my leg, I react like a madman and more often than not scare the wife to bits. Also had it while swimming a few times which is a bit scary in deep water. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r7NOi34SGw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep- I jumped out of bed hopping and squawking like a lunatic- put my hand to my calf and it was like a solid brick then you’re shitting yourself in case you move your foot the wrong way to alleviate it.

The 8 pints of stella celebrating Saturday probably helped with my dehydration along with the curry we had watching a film Saturday evening.

Only usually get it if I've been drinking lager. Must be all the chemicals as hardly got it after switching to real ale.

Wiggytop Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 wait until you get cramp in your hamstrings, I suffer from tight hamstrings which is from a back related injury years ago. I have to do stretches first thing each morning and at night which tend to keep it at bay, plus daily magnesium etc etc. However my work involves getting into tight spaces or being in the same scrunched up position sometimes which can be the trigger.

Bailey Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I appreciate that I might be in a club of 1 here but has anyone else been disappointed with Walcott since his first couple of games? He started those first couple of games full of energy, determination and quality. He was really clinical and worked hard for the team. Since then however I feel as though he has been on the slide. His dribbling has still largely been quality (something I underestimated), but his touch, shot, passing at important moments has been really disappointing and he is noticeably a lot quieter and uninvolved, reminding me of his Arsenal days. He certainly hasn't been a weak link, but he is still playing at the same level of the team and not standing out as he had done in those first two games. On the DCL thread, the chance he messed up yesterday has been suggested that he isn'tt good enough and whilst I appreciate there is more to it than just that chance, Walcott has messed up maybe 3 or 4 similar opportunities in the last 3 games and there has barely been a mention of it.

rubecula Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Like Mike I tend to get cramp in bed..... or at least I used to. one of my nurses told me to drink tonic water with quinine in to ease the symptoms, tasted awful but after a week I found I liked it and it works too can not remember the last time I was in agony with leg cramps.

Shukes Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Bailey: I think Walcotts start has set expectations very high. He is inconsistent, but as far as wingers go, much less than 99% of others. He hasn’t been as effective rice recently, but there is still enough to show he is a quality player. Wingers that score goals for fun are either world class, or are converted into strikers. He is still a quality player and offers a lot to our team.

pete0 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 He's very hit and miss but his effort alone has been an improvement to an almost static midfield before he come in to freshen it up. He's a good outlet and very much a player we needed. markjazzbassist and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir McGiven Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Good to see this, proves the team spirit upfront. As soon as Richarlison adapts himself to their friendship, it will be a deadly striker force. Shukes and nutmegwolf203 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 "I just felt I wanted to get the excitement of football again. I didn't feel like it was going to be at Arsenal then. Sam at the time got in contact, and I felt "yeah, this is the right move for me". I got the buzz and enjoyment back, and I couldn't be in a happier place to be honest, I'm playing football with a smile on my face. I just love football again." Some credit to Alladyce for getting him here then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
