Think I was thinking of the Dave Beasant incident.


Rio Ferdinand During his spell at Leeds, the England defender managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. Ferdinand had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injured.

Dave Beasant The veteran goalkeeper managed to rule himself out for eight weeks in 1993 when he dropped a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe.

David James The England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control. The keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp.

F*cking ouch!!!
 
Comedy factor...
Darren Barnard The former Barnsley midfielder was sidelined for five months with a torn knee ligament after he slipped in a puddle of his puppy's urine on the kitchen floor.

Stupid twat factor...
Darius Vassell The then Aston Villa striker missed several games after he drilled through his toe nail with a home power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at DIY surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention.

Feel like I'm spamming this thread (I'll be honest, expected it to be a little more active with about 30 hours to go....).

Really interesting that Leicester are finalising a deal for a central midfielder. Can't quite work out why that might be a priority for them.....

Fret not Roly, deadline is 11pm Thursday.
Still over 50 hours to work some magic... <wizard><magic>:emoticon-0158-time:

Serves him right… who eats salad cream, stuff is disgusting.

So our full strength team is -

ASM-------Isak/Wilson----Almiron
--Joelinton-Bruno-Willock-----
Targett---Burn---Schar/Botman---Trippier
-----------------Pope-------------------

Subs -

Darlow
Wood
Murphy
Fraser
Longstaff
Krafth
Manq
Schar/botman
Shelvey

I'd say if we finish 8th we've done very well,but top 10 would be considered a good finish. We still lack squad depth.

lol

Botman and Schar start
 
No, Schar and Botman haven't proven themselves better. I think Burn is our best defensive CB right now tbh.

He rarely puts a foot wrong, and a great aerial presence.
Botman has been class. Schar has been hit and miss but I don't think playing burn and botman would be a good idea. Burn is now back up. He's a decent back up though
