Froggy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Was just thinking of how much we've spent on keepers in the last 21 years since Keegan took us up when I'd posted about Darlow earlier... Hooper Hislop Given Perez Karelse Caig Krul Elliot Darlow Unless I'm missing someone obvious, we've probably spent less in our Premier League history on keepers than Sunderland got Craig Gordon for, and almost half is on a player not yet here. Looked at this and tried to figure out how they all had the same first name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Former Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia retires from football after a heart condition was detected at a medical. These heart condition retirements seem a little hasty. He is a goalkeeper. He has played for 20 odds years and had no issues. By all means be mindful of the issue in the future, but to fail a medical because of it? Nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 He just fuckin stands there for 90 minutes. He'd be just fine. Just like he's been fine for the last twenty years. Science is shit. It's done nuffink for no-one. We're in a constant state of hypercondria. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Zidane reported by a Spanish managers association for managing Real Madrid Castilla without having the necessary UEFA badges. Officially, Zidane is only Ass Man, but the spokesman for the association claims that it's obvious and notorious that's Zidane who's actually managing the team and Real Madrid are just circumventing the rules.

Village Idiot Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Just watched a pretty harrowing interview with Gabriel Batistuta. He has had several mobility problems due to the constant injuries, ops, and rushed recoveries during his playing career. He often peed himself in the bed because of not daring to stand up to walk to the bathroom. He even said he considered amputation given the pain he lives with.

Was it a particular part of his leg? He said that many injuries and ops have left them without cartilage in his joints, which makes simple movements very painful.
