I fear you may be right. A lot of people have said they've been drinking a lot more.

I think it's probably because they're trained physicians. Most of their learning is on physical things and A causes B and can be cured by C in pretty much everyone because we're built the same. There is some variation but those rules on the whole hold true. Mental health is completely different...

Games being played with greater frequency because season started late so less rest time. You could also say the lack of break between last season and this, although by the same degree us having significant injuries when we had an extended break wouldn't support that. But then how many of our...

Sorry to hear that.

But are those injuries in training freak accidents or muscle tears/pulls that could've been brought on by overwork in games? There is a great more time spent on the practice field than in games so statistically you're more likely to get such an injury in training than games. So the muscle...

I agree with this whole heartedly, although it would need to be done in conjunction with restrictions on Ant to really prove effective.

I'd have thought this will eventually be treated like work-related conditions such as those suffering from working with vibrating tools. Of course the issue being many people who aren't footballers also develop dementia, so the causal link is hard to confirm and thus affect a claim for...

This is part of the argument about helmets in the NFL. One is that the helmets give a sense of invulnerability to the player and are actually more likely to do something that will put them at risk because they feel protected. Also such devices don't stop internal movement of the brain within...

Decent point. Also with better, lighter boots players can strike the ball harder too so you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. I guess it'd be easy to prove scientifically. Group of people with old boots and old balls strike them against a force plate numerous times to create a data set, then repeat...

That's a big issue but at the same time the players talk about the worry of it when they retire then go and celebrate a sack/TD by smacking their helmets together (Ooh, matron!). They almost all seem to tackle head first, head down or just throw themselves in front of the player rather than...

There was me thinking we'd signed some Greek guy.

I agree about known sources - after all don't we have particular tradesmen we know and trust and then recommend them to people we know? But the thing that gets me this was nothing about ability to deliver and everything about giving mates money is the failure to put in clauses for lack of...

It may help with our injuries, but we'd be making subslargely due to fitness issues rather than to change a game, knowing the player coming on was probably weaker but the extra energy will compensate. 'Bigger' teams can do so but also have sufficient quality to still be a potential gamechanger...

I've said for a long time I'd like the game to become an hour long with a stopped clock for when the ball isn't in play, controlled by a timekeeping official rather than the ref.

They'll probably add something in like you can make them at HT without that counting to the quota.

Yes, but sod's law says it's the game you gamble you need them. Like us against Stoke years ago. Didn't put a keeper on the bench and we needed to put Stephen Hughes in goal for over an hour. Although to be fair he kept a clean sheet.

He's frantically trying to work out how he can bring on 3 wingbacks in injury time.

But if there was an ad featuring them it'll pull at the heartstrings so much everyone would have red eyes.

The orange nutjob is trying to do more than that. He's trying to start a nuclear war. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54972269

Although they are getting kids fed.
