Looking more and more like this is Kevin’s last year here…feeling more and more like a spent force

Other opinions are available. For instance, here’s what ChatGPT says about the impact of a pubis injury on an athlete:

A pubis injury can have a significant impact on an athlete, as it typically affects the pubic symphysis, the joint at the front of the pelvis, or the surrounding muscles and tendons. The severity and specific impact depend on the type of injury, but common consequences include:

1. Pain and Discomfort: Pubic injuries often cause sharp or aching pain in the lower abdomen, groin, or pelvis. This pain can worsen with movement, particularly during activities that involve running, cutting, or sudden changes in direction.
2. Reduced Mobility: The injury may lead to limited range of motion, especially in movements involving the hips, groin, or legs. This can hinder an athlete's ability to perform their sport effectively.
3. Difficulty with Core Stability and Function: The pubis area is crucial for core stability and balance. An injury can compromise an athlete's ability to generate power through the torso and legs, impacting performance in nearly all sports, especially those that require running, jumping, or quick direction changes.
4. Prolonged Recovery Time: Depending on the severity of the injury (from muscle strains to stress fractures or osteitis pubis), recovery can take weeks to months. Chronic or untreated injuries may lead to long-term complications or recurring pain.
5. Altered Technique and Compensation: Athletes may compensate for pain by altering their movement mechanics, which can lead to further injuries, particularly in the hips, knees, or lower back.
6. Impact on Sport-Specific Skills: Sports like soccer, football, hockey, or running that require explosive movements or frequent changes in direction can be particularly difficult for athletes with pubis injuries. The need for precise control and strength in the lower body becomes compromised.

Ultimately, the impact on an athlete depends on the severity of the injury and how quickly it is addressed. Proper rehabilitation, including rest, physical therapy, and sometimes modifications to training or competition schedules, is crucial for a full recovery.

That Spurs midfield/attack worries me. If it weren't for the weather, I'd expect a lot of goals. I think this will be a cagy one. 2-1 City.

 

[Gabriel]

Always a bit wary when sides face each other again so soon, just shy over three weeks, and their celebrations post-match might have irked a few of ours. As such, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a stormy affair in the teeth of storm Bert, and while I’m less confident about picking an actual result, I’d wager my tanner that Bissouma is booked, at least.

Sir this is a pre match thread, match day wankers starts soon

Sir, disagreeing with the team selected has been part and parcel of the pre match build up long before online forums were even dreamt of

First City goal (maybe a brace) for Savinho, today...

Walker and Akanji should be switched on for it

 

[malg]

We'll have 32 shots, 11 on target. They'll have 1 shot, which will be on target.



1-1.....

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Sarr and Bosouma will run though our midfield for fun

That’s what Sauron thought when Morflak, the Uruk-Hai berserker ran through the hoards of Ork to blow up the wall during the battle of Helms Deep. But look who had the last laugh!
