If it's really so dangerous to kick a football at someone (and if Sir Alex says so, who are any of us to argue) then goalkeepers must be especially fearful. I now see Emil Heskey in a new light - as a man of compassion who is simply keen to avoid the taking of a human life.
indeed!! how brave are those soldiers that line up in a wall at every free kick? deprived of even body armour !!
Manchester(AKA Gunchester)mobsters have now resorted to carrying Nike, Mitre and Adidas footballs instead of Uzi's. Smith and Wesson's and Glock's. Targets are advised to wear heavily padded goalkeeper shirts in case of attack and to be observant for people driving flash cars wearing football boots.
We laugh and joke but there was actually a United fan on JA defending Fergie and talking about spinal chords and stuff like that. Scary what Fergie's sheep will believe. If he told them Jesus was born on the 25th June they'd actually believe it
This Christmas spare a thought for all our brave boys out there. Putting their lives at risk to head the ball.
