For the final time I didn't say I was sick to the core, the physios must be sick to the core running onto the pitch to treat the fakers, they must cringe inside when a player is rolling around clutching his leg, face or whatever and they damned fine well know he was barely touched (this has nothing to do with genuine injuries) fuck me man it wasn't that hard to understand.
Yes people do make excuses for failure sorry if you have never seen or heard that happen, I would be shocked if you hadn't though.
You only mentioned Kompany for what ever reason but you didn't just mention him, you invented an entire sentence that suggested I had called him a faker, now that is just bizarre.
Again I will say it the pampered fuckers can't play 2 games a week, or bless them, what you seem to fail to understand is I think they should be able to play 2 games a week, they are fit as fit can be, yes they get a kick every now and then if they are injured they don't play, they shouldn't play if injured.
But I fail to see how a young man in his prime can not cope with training and 2 games a week if fit, not sure how us average men manage a day, a week, a month or a year at work and still manage to fit training in and play two games on a weekend, maybe I was just stupid eh ?
I agree with you about needless friendlies on the other side of the world but that is now modern day football and all those lovely countries and their sponsors pay for our players to have wages that high, they can not have it all.
Playing two or even three games a week is now the norm,for the top clubs, i accept that.
And you,like me,in your prime played football several times a week. i doubt the game that we played was at anything like the speed the top players do now... and that we didn,t play under the pressure they do.we also got a break,i imagine every summer? yes five a side continues all year round,i still play...but the wear and tear on top modern players playing at a high level,all year round is, in my view, and those of others, having a serious effect on the quality of the players performance.You think players should be able to cope..maybe they should...but when i look at the flair players who didn,t perform out in France..players like our own David Silva, one of the finest midfield players of his generation and he didnt look anything like the player we know he can be.
Is that down to him being dis interested, pampered,lazy..or maybe the spanish coach wasn,t up to scratch in getting the best out of our David.
i think its because he was fucked.
Very few flair players lit up the games out there. why is that? Maybe you dont care about that point, but you might do if you were paying to see top players perform.
You also brought Tennis into the debate,unsure why?... playing on a sat and sun morning during the summer inhot weather leaves me feeling nowhere near as drained as even one football match with the aches and pains and injuries i used to pick up...and still do/ i didnt understand why you picked Tennis players as an n example of other sportsmen who dont moan.Tennis is an entirely diff game as you know with rests after every three games/15 mins and a chance to take a breather and a drink. the top players benefit from this and run nowhere near as much as footballers i imagine.
To be fair to you there is difference with footballers..you have the runners who can run all day and put a shift in.Its the flair players whose quality i miss..and if kdb had got to the final with belguim,d be worried about him missing a fair chunk of pre season,or worst, being carted out in meaningless friendlies at the birds nest in china,days after finishing a gruelling tournament.
yes they are highly paid, and i understand the get- on- with- it mentality,but for my season ticket next season i want to see kdb and silva and kompany all fit and ready to go.not burnt out.i,d want my money back!!
if i misunterstood your point about the belguim team doctor/physios in general then i hold my hands up.it was confusing how you set it out tho.or i,m just thick,lol
Anyway, enjoy the season!
