All about leverage

Dimitri Payet has only just revealed his reason for leaving West Ham in unceremonious style in January.

“You could say I was bored,” the Frenchman told L’Equipe about his decision to rejoin Marseille.

Bored!

Bored?

How on earth could a player be bored when there is fun like this to be had on the training ground?

Hammers goalkeeper Darren Randolph felt it appropriate to liven up a training session on Wednesday by breaking out his favourite WWE move.

The Irish international locked in the finisher of fan favourite Chris Jericho, the Walls of Jericho, and sure enough the tap arrived.

But it didn’t take long for the move’s proud owner to get in touch with Randolph to offer a helpful tip on how to improve the effectivity of the submission.

Jericho tweeted the above in response to Randolph’s technique and it leaves us all wondering… What on earth is Dimitri Payet on about?
