I'm sorry but if I'm honest I'd rather he has a slight pull that keeps him out of the World Cup and he comes back nice and fresh for us in July.

xabi's not fast enough to suffer a major hammy problem

[McBain]

His mind is so quick he could have pulled a mental hammy

is that what some doctors refer to as a headache?

hammy's aren't always a pace thing though.

often are though stevie. when you hear the words "hamstring strain", you think of the little wee scrawny whippets like owen (and his spectacularly painful looking strains in mid sprint) giggsy dyer etc

 

or put it another way, did jan molby, razor ruddock or mickey quinn ever suffer one?

Dr AE recommends a 6 week rest followed by intensive pre-season training.

you can twang a hamstring taking a free-kick. garcia's hardly a speed merchant but has pinged a hammy with us. it's more about being properly warmed up for a match.

I'm sorry but i'd rather Xabi had an excellent world cup for Spain, so hope he gets fit.

 

The world cup is the biggest thing in football. It happens once every 4 years (full of insight eh..) and is an amazing spectacle with the best players in the world. Xabi himself will be desperate to play a huge role.

 

I really don't get all this anti international football stuff. Football comes first. International football is the peak of any player's playing potential.

 

Sure, I don't want any LFC players to get injured, but that's just the way it is. The game of football itself is bigger than LFC and always will be.

 

Just my view like.

Molby did suffer from the occasional ham sandwich or ten.

 

You can do your hamstring stretching, turning, jumping or even just excersising in a warm up.

HERETIC!!! BURN HIM!!!

 

For me, the game of football itself IS Liverpool FC and other teams are there to be beaten!

I hear steven gerrard has a cold, what does Dr AE recommend for that?

[£440,000]

I hope he's ok, has a great World Cup and scores the winning goal in the final.

 

It'd be the perfect way for him to warm up for winning the Premiership next year.

A move to a warm climate like Milan?

Respect your opinion, but during any of these games I will just be s***ting myself that someone goes over the top on Xabi or Stevie and breaks his leg or does his cruciate, putting him out for 6 months to a year.

Six week lay off relaxing in Las Vegas accompanied by a Mr J Carragher, followed by pre-season training.

Very true, I tore mine a few years ago and I'm not exactly the human equivalent of a whippet.

[Guest Gerrards Jockstrap]

Don't think this is totally accurate - it's Del Horno who has gone for the MRI scan. According to both Marca and AS Xabi took part in the two physical training sessions but not in the 6 on 6 games due to muscular problems.

 

Radio Marca said he - Xabi - had gone for a precautionary scan. Plus Del Horno's injury is, I believe, his ankle, thus the association between Xabi and hamstring and Asier of the Furnace and ankle was correct.

 

I think.

Ruddock certainly did, a couple of times at least, 'cos I remember thinking that in his case it was probably indictitive of a lack of basic fitness/conditioning.

 

Can happen to anyone to be honest, no real rhyme or reason to it.

Oh dear. You've had that premonition too, have you?

Totally disagree with you there, to be honest i don't like what you're saying at all.

Barnesy had problems with his hammys too.
