Cav.....it's a contact sport - there's always going to be a risk of injury - there's not one professional soccer player out there who doesn't know that going in, as they've been there & done that before as they worked their way up to that level of the sport.

Football is rarely dull and certainly not predictable for the majority of fans.

So my team win their first Premier League game of the season .....and then sack the manager

The speed they go down when tapped or even not tapped on the leg, they may as well just wrap the lot of them in bubble wrap and be done with it.
Or just put them in a pub team for a weekend LOL...... more boxing than football, wont be worried about heads, might toughen them up a bit. lol

So The team that started the ludicrous wages and transfer fees in the EPL suddenly find they only have enough money to survive. Hilarious. **** them.

You would like to think this causes the club a long term financial problem but can’t see it somehow.

I see a Blackpool player has come out as gay.

It's sad that such a thing is still newsworthy.
