Re: This is getting to them

United are aware of the allegations but have declined to comment. Ferguson will be asked for his response when he holds his weekly press conference at the Carrington training ground on Friday.

Should be interesting.
 
This is getting to them

BaconChops will either say nothing or lay into Owen or our club! Apparently Owen was forced to play because of an insurance "Situation" think he lasted 3 minutes when he was forced to play
 
Re: This is getting to them

So the mighty Rags fucked him up and then fucked him off, can't wait for the reaction from bacon face.
 
Re: This is getting to them

Playing a player with muscle tears is a disgrace.

The very first priority of club and manager should be the physical and psychological well-being of the player, and they put that at risk.

I don't think we can comment on his medical treatment ie the injections

Bacon Face is a master at handling the media. He'll find a way to deflect it.

Purple face has just been on SSN..Statement this afternoon.. He did not look happy... haha thats got them in a spin..

It causes pain in the knee area, made worse by jumping or kneeling, and can be accompanied by swelling around the tendon.

Standard treatments include: rest, avoiding all activities that cause discomfort, anti-inflammatory pain medications, ice treatments, more rest and special support straps that work for some people, but no one knows how and why.

Surgery is actually quite rare, generally reserved for those patients who have persistent symptoms that cannot be resolved by more conservative treatments.

In November last year, after several operations on his knees, Hargreaves made his first start for United in over two years against Wolves, but limped off after six minutes. His contract was not renewed at the end of the season.

The player says that he was given "prolotherapy", or regenerative injection therapy, by United's medical team. It has known to have been used for his former team-mate, Rio Ferdinand, to try and heal his persistent back injury. Prolotherapy is thought to work by tricking the inflamed, painful tissue into generating new healthy tissue by injecting irritants or "harmless" substances such as sugar, cod liver oil or glycerine into the affected tendons or joints.

The strengthened tissues should no longer send pain signals to the brain. This experimental treatment is used by a minority of doctors as the research evidence is mixed. However, several clinical trials testing its effectiveness in conditions such as osteoarthritis and tennis elbow are underway.

Re: This is getting to them

Oooh


Now they won't like that....
 
Re: This is getting to them

He'll just say before the conference I am not taking questions on that

Or he'll have a pre-prepared statement and wont budge from it

There are all kinds of scenarios but best not to speculate. It's down to Owen Hargreaves as to what he wants to do about it
