Don't these spoiled cunts have wives or partners to look after their sprogs or dogs?
The training ground is a place of work, not a fucking holiday camp.
If they were working 10 hour days I might have some sympathy, but they only have to be there 3 or 4 hours a day. Since when is it the job of club employees to act as fucking dog walkers. Footballers have virtually all day to walk their pampered pooches.
Get serious Slav.

This is a nothing story as an attempt to bash the club while we're down.
Bilic stated his goal was for the training ground to be a place where the players stayed and socialised together AFTER training with their families all together. The goal being to create team spirit, and a cohesive camp that don't have little splinter groups and go off in the afternoon getting bored and covered in tattoos or hitting the bookies.
Only potential downside I can see is a lack of focus during training if you're worrying that your kid is causing havoc in the creche with whoever is looking after them, or makes you late getting in, or has given you grief all morning...but that's kids full stop.
Some things to get straight. The stadium isn't making us play terrible. The kids in the creche while they're out on the training pitch isn't making us play terrible.
It's more likely we've had a crap pre-season, the squad has lost focus on the fact that hard work is what is required first and foremost. The ability to battle and 'play in the red zone' as Bilic always called it is about mindset and mentality than ability and all these other little things.
As has been said, this has largely been happening since April last year when either the whole club, or at least the players started to believe the 'Champions League' hype and stopped the hard work and graft that got us to where we were. Switching off in that way 3-5% is all that is needed at that level it would seem.
God only knows how we get out of it and it might be only a change of manager where they all have to prove themselves again is the only thing that can be done to snap them out of the funk.
But I don't believe this is Bilic's fault...he's always spoken about not being complacent, not switching off, giving everything. His crime would only be that he's maybe too close to the players to give them a rocket when need be, but I doubt it. Sometimes at work, workers get in a funk and an almighty shake up is the only thing that can change it.

I'm guessing they don't stand pitch side watching their dads, we probably have a crèche.

Noble's dog is well experienced then...
Any chance he could fill in at LB or RB..?
He could HOUND the opposition (more than the fucking players are doing right now...)
