Injury Updates

Yeah, thirty days in those Brazilian weeks!

It hasn’t helped that two thirds of the Prem Clubs who want an equal slice of the TV money refused to have 5 sub. That’s on the back of a shortened pre season and was pure self-interest.

Over the next 18 months some players who have had a lot of injuries in recent seasons after giving great service, including Fernandinho and Aguero, will move on and we should have fewer injuries. Other Clubs are suffering too like Liverpool and the rags and Spurs (in recent seasons).

And long may they continue to suffer! Long and often.

Dunno what people are worried about, apparently our injuries don’t count, only the dippers injuries do

Yeah, we have fifty players in our squad to compensate though, they only have eighteen

Why the fuck are they playing international friendlies?
Its unbelievable

 

[Whether or not]

I must have missed it, but when did it become the norm to fit three international games into each break instead of two. It is astonishing when top players have had no break, no pre season etc. that they are doing this. That arsehole Southgate was speaking about Gomes last night in the abstract as if the injury had nothing to do with England or him. I don’t give a shit about Gomes, but these clowns also have custody of our players and their welfare. The Dutch boss has said last night after Ake’s injury that the game shouldn’t even of been played - wow.

Ask the greedy c*nts at FIFA.

Don’t normally have a lot of time for Lieuw in The Guardian but today his article was “For greed, vanity and narcissism, there’s no beating pointless friendlies“ Think he’s hit it right on the head.

As a (ex) rugby player, ive always wondered why do football players get seemingly more innocuous injuries (hamstring, deadleg, groin strain etc) that keep them out of games for periods of time....yet rugby players, in high impact and fast games, dont?

Is it largely precautionary? Todays professional rugby players are incredibly fit and not just the fat weight lifters of old. I guess they dont play as many games?

Games will be part of it, I don't watch much rugby, hardly any really, but is rugby more direct? get the imnpression thgere is much less twisting,turning and changing direction in football than rugby.

Crikey, yeah rugby not only has high impact tackles....rucks and mauls with multiple bodies piled on top....and the way the backs play these days, its incredibly fast, twisting / turning and then getting clobbered.....there is an awful lot of long distance kicking.....really hoofing the ball
