Interesting that you or anyone else took it that way. I wasn't making any inference in that direction just repeating what a city physio told me and I believed because this fella is a generally decent guy. I'd believe the same of Enrique if it came from someone I thought credible. I'm struggling to think of any other footballers, white or black, with muscular physique's that look to the casual observer like they belong in another sport. Not sure which Ronaldo we're referring to but placcy looks like a footballer and the original like no sort of athlete in his latter years. Read this earlier that I thought might shine an interesting light on (potentially race related) athlete perceptions http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2014/mar/09/dwain-chambers-forgiveness-sean-ingle

According to someone low down on the City physio food chain the injuries are largely self-inflicted - spends a lot of time in the Gym but doing the wrong exercises as he has a fascination with 'Beach Muscles'. As a result he hasn't developed a footballers physique and ends up with a lot of avoidable injuries. A bit brainless all round by all accounts... Think I'd prefer Sagna (or Johnson).

Hakan Sukur between Pires and Hierro?

The sweet smell of animal carcass rendering.... Just read this, made me chuckle... http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Widnes

Think when you read it online its worth asking 'does this make the print edition' and swerving if the answer's no. Unless you're really up for getting annoyed....

Sir Hugo Drax was a docker from Liverpool in the moonraker book apparently

Any idea how many are at prem clubs? Beginning to think the rules need changing - that could be a lot of players can play against their rivals but not against them.

Surely this is the time to implement the original Rodgers template.... Lucas, Allen, Alberto - Coutinho, Suarez, Sterling all pressing high up the pitch and playing 2 touch keep ball when we have it (not Suarez, he can have as many touches as he likes)

We were chasing rainbows all of the time

Really... show's what I know! Always looks massive to me but maybe its just because they have a team of midgets... Or they stretch the space better.

Size of the pitch at the Emirates worries me, think it could work against us given the lack of legs in our midfield. Needs a big game from the strikers, particularly Sturridge to make them back-pedal.

Yep, it was the beautiful thing though. Thought Dortmund was always industrial/ugly?

Dresden, no?

This is tremendous news. He should go and play for Turkey just to wind Mijhailovic up.

This Novi Pazar place, is that what was called the Sanjak of Novibazar in A Level history? Because I always wondered where that went. And if so, we deffo need to sign him, we've never had someone from a Sanjak before.
