The Football News Thread 2015/16 - everything non-Wolves

[Deutsch Wolf]

There's a bit in Gerrard's book where he talks about having to persuade Sturridge to play vs Man Utd, that if it had been left down to him he'd have pulled himself out of the game. A game against your biggest rivals, when Suarez was banned so it was all down to him to lead the line. He's a real mental weakling - cries off far too easily and when he's actually playing, he's forever limping around whenever a reasonably heavy challenge comes in.

The full quote is also useful in this context

The situation is Daniel was very often injured in the last few months, and maybe years, so it is normal when you get back in training usually it is not the quality, but you need training.

Your body has to learn to adapt to new intensities of training and in this time you have to learn what is serious pain and what is only pain.

If you've had the kind of injuries Sturridge has had you're obviously going to worry when you get a knock/niggle that it's something more serious.

Hull vs Derby been quite entertaining so far. Still 0-0.

 

[Lycan]

Nice goal. Derby 1-0 Butterfield.

I think I read he was on Sky the other week and asked who his heroes were when he was growing up. He said Serena Williams. This is despite the fact that he's 6 years older than her! What a berk.

Still can't believe we're the only team they've beaten this season.
Starting to turn into a basket case of a club.

And Oldham have only recently completed the new stand. Who paid for that?

 

[Kenny]

The players....

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

More top work from Rafa as he plays a suspended player in tonight's Copa Del Rey game vs Cadiz, so Real will probably be kicked out of the tournament. To make matters worse he did this once when he was at Valencia as well.

Fifa will debate a proposal to expand the World Cup from 32 teams to 40.

Real Madrid plan to appeal any sanction as the Spanish Football Federation "did not inform Real that the player was ineligible."

Oh do fuck off.

 

[Kenny]

Blackburn no longer under a Transfer embargo

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Madrid have been expelled from the Copa Del Rey. Good.

What is this pie tax protest being planned by Leeds fans?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Leeds have put the price up in one stand to £42, but you get a voucher to have a free pie. Basically means your "free" pie costs £5, which is fucking extortion.
