Paul Merson has blasted those players who have returned to pre-season worse for wear.

 

Speaking during a Sky Sports Interview,  Merse said that all  the players had been given closed season training regimes - regimes that  some chose not follow as closely as others. 

The Gaffa added that anyone who was behind him during the pre-season running was "in trouble", because at 37 - he should be the one bringing up the rear.

When it came to discussing pre-season weigh ins -  the camera focused Ropes and Williams, two players who attract attention for their weight at the best of times.
