Yep, my missus was in labour for 40 hrs. Awful to watch them go through that.
Good luck though Great Expectations...hope it goes well and mum and baby are well and healthy once it's all done with.
Yeah, similar to Alkhen, I had a mate who used to do his all the time. Can't remember how many weeks he was out for when we played football (albeit at County, not professional level) but it's weeks rather than months.
Some of the posts on this thread are pretty laughable.

I know that wasn't aimed at me as I've not said they're average, just not Barcelona.
I also think we've got the best squad we've had in years with the best manager we've had in decades and will therefore surprise a few.
If we lose today, I won't change that view (unless we get thumped 8-0!).
