Get Lovenkrands off.

Someone scores an own goal, and the media STILL put Owen's face everywhere as if he single-handedly sunk Bolton.

Not gonna watch the second half.

I figure I could stick my head in the oven and have the same set of sensations.  Might even be more pleasant.  Certainly warmer and fuzzier.

What has happened to this club...

WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA GET A MANAGER!?

When the fuck can we move on at this fucking joke of a club?

WOEFUL Lovenkrands.

How many times are we gonna hit the f****cking post!?

Why was there no one on the post?

Okay, excuse me, a mad conspiracy theorist needs a rant.

 

Does anyone else find the nature of injury and its announcement at this club highly suspicious?

 

 

 

 

No.  But I do agree that we are a bit s*** at diagnosing and treating injuries.  Your theory is full of holes though.   For example we did get a replacement for Shola in Harewood.

As someone mentioned yesterday, Shola's diagnosis was left until after the transfer window shut.  We didn't have to spend on a transfer fee for Harewood as he was a loan signing.  A replacement, yes, but a financially cushy one for the admin.

Okay, excuse me, a mad conspiracy theorist needs a rant.

Does anyone else find the nature of injury and its announcement at this club highly suspicious?

Take Barton for example.  A "minor foot problem" which was going to be subject to a late fitness test quickly became a four month absence.  If Caulkin to be believed, we will discover today/tomorrow that Steven Taylor's "slight hamstring strain" will become a six week absence.  Both of these injuries were picked up in training, and both were broken to us gently by the club.  Is that simply because the scale of the injury took a while to become apparent?

Well, let's take Wor Shola's foot trouble.  Again, this was a "minor knock" subject to a late fitness test.  This then was recognised as (almost a month (A MONTH!) after the injury was picked up) a broken foot.  Then we had a two-month absence slapped on it.  The club never mentioned whether this was two months from the date of the injury, or from the date of the announcement a month later.  We then later here how pleased the club are that Shola might be back before January, and how ahead of schedule that would be.  Now, even the village idiot can count from his date of injury in August and see that an August - January sideline is a five month absence.  So a minor foot problem, much like Joey Barton's injury, becomes a five-month lay-off.  In the case of Shola, the club have broken to us gently that he might have a problem, slapped a very conservative injury estimate on him, and then broken fuller news of his injury laced behind some good news of "it could be worse!".

Do you ever see Manchester United or Chelsea faffing around like this?  If Drogba's got a broken foot, everyone'll know how, where, who he's going to see and for how long he'll be out.  Most importantly, the Chelsea physios would KNOW a broken foot when they see one, unlike ours apparently.

If our physios can't even diagnose a broken foot, we have a major problem.  And if they can, we have another major problem: the club is pulling the wool over our eyes Soviet Union-style to make the situation seem better than it is.  After all, if we knew the extent of all our players injuries, we'd put pressure on to buy a replacement.  And we all know Ashley doesn't like pressure.  He wants to be able to ruin the club quietly, in peace, without our nuisancesome selves getting in the way.

Additionally, as a sort of post-script, why the hell are our players picking up serious injuries in training?  Ever see Cristiano Ronaldo or Rooney out for four months because they fell over in training?  Or just pulled up while running, and ended up fracturing half their leg?  Our injury curse doesn't exist, folks.  It's not a curse.  It's quite clearly the result of systemic underinvestment in the physio department, and some kind of flaw in our training practices which has never been corrected.  Until we fix that, these mysterious, long-term injuries that need covering up will not disappear.

Personally I wouldn't risk 3 the 3 points. Crumpy's a despicable b****** for lying btw 

 

You say that, but wasn't Shola expected to have a late fitness test before it was revealed (after the transfer window closed) that actually he'd be out for months...

 

According to who?

Hughton, at the time.

That's true, I remember.

Nothing about this on SSN tonight, who gave fitness updates on Colo and Enrique.

Done.

This is a truly awful game of football.

Now that I know Butt's in the team, I'd say 1-3 to Ipswich.

                 Harper

Khiz - S Taylor - Colocinni - Enrique

R Taylor -  Butt - Smith - Nolan

      Ranger  -  Carroll

Harper

R Taylor --- S Taylor --- Coloccini --- Enrique

Geremi --- Smith --- Guthrie --- Lovenkrands

Harewood --- Carroll

 

Guthrie's suspended.

Best we can hope for is:

                        Harper

R Taylor - S Taylor - Coloccini - Enrique

Geremi  -  Smith  -  Nolan  -  Lovenkrands

              Carroll  -  Ranger

Subs:  Krul, Khiz, Tavernier, Butt, Donaldson, Lua Lua, Harewood

If it's 93 days, we've got him until the 1st of December. Which is round about the time Shola comes back i believe, so it's all good news.

Er... no.

No Barton either

So that'll mean Smith and Butt in CM.

Hull 0-3 Everton, after 24 minutes.

 

I wish gthat club and it's manager all the misery in the world.

Ronaldo scores after 2 minutes.  Getting sick of him already.

 

Villarreal 0 - 1 Madrid

 

Has he scored in every game?

Apparently so.

Was Tavernier any good?
