Yossi and Riera out for a month

[red g]

Someone on another forum has said that we hired physios from Newcastle this summer.

Is it any coincidence that all our injury problems have started since their arrival. Newcastle always had lengthy injury lists. Bear in mind that most of the injuries suffered by our players have been muscular.

actually i do recall that, to much of a coincidence surely?

Perhaps. Or could it be that their methods are to blame?

[dww]

I can't remember completely but I think at the time they said to be going to work with the reserves. I can't find the thread about them on here though.

We need Pako back to sort out these injurys.

I've found a couple of threads about fitness people we bought in during the summer:

With all the injuries we're having...

With injuries at this particular time though there is always the possibility we are hamming it up to stop people playing in the internationals. Doesn't explain the rest of the season (obviously) but a possibility nonetheless.

Why is all this happening, the number of injuries we've had so far this season is a joke

It seems like the news at Newcastle United continues to get worse, as we hear today that strength and conditioning coaches Mark Hulse and his assistant, Robbie Elliott, have left St James’s Park just days before the start of pre-season training on Wednesday.

I think we need to get rid of these two, Since they left the Newcastle their team are picking up the points, now we are dropping points all over the place. And remember the injurys newcastle had last year?? Now we have them. They are cursed / jinxed, Burn them at the cross!!!!!!
or just sack them!!

Aurelio is now the latest to withdraw due to injury

Out:
Aurelio
Riera
Yossi
Torres
Kelly?

Half fit:
Johnson
Gerrard
Agger
Aquilani

This situation has been going on for a month at least, just plain silly. All our best players keep getting injured, all but Kelly would start IMO.

You're just looking for excuses it seems. Even with a very strong team we've still been utter ****e. Let's not embarass ourselves by blaming our form on injuries.

Est's Paul Merson? Are you sure you're not the real Merson coming out with such ****e?

Keep in mind this season we've been without half our defence, our new £20m playmaker, a fit Gerrard, a fit Torres, Riera - along with a handfull of back up players. Do you still think we'd still be in the position we're in now if these guys hadn't missed so much of the season or been fully fit??

Have a ****in' word with yourself pal.
