I expect they are still pretty raw after the kicking they have had from many over the summer and are playing hardball now before they get more flak. Mind you they did the same with Poch and Lovren. No love lost there either!
It used to be a career ending injury. I know they can do a lot more now days but I agree - I think he will struggle to get back much before Christmas and will be at risk for more niggley injuries when he does return.
It dosnt matter as long as they are totty. Doesnt matter what a bloke looks like but if he is a good sports presenter he will get a job. Ever seen an ugly woman sports presenter? Well apart from Claire Balding of course.
The "point" about the Mail is that, more than any other paper, seem to have had it in for SFC this summer. How much is BS and who much is true who knows - but they do seem to have an agenda.
The club themselves made a point of saying that the Mail (and the Echo for that matter) print rubbish about the club. Would you disagree that the Mail has printed more negative stories about SFC than most this summer???
The point is that the Mail have probably done more muck racking about SFC this summer than any other newspaper which would imply there is some kind of agenda going on.
As a kid I had a choice of subbing for the school 1st X1 or playing in the second team. After a while I decided to play for the second team as I wanted to play for 90 mins. Eventually I got a first team place so it paid off - but I hated being sub.
The Mail publishes a lot more rubbish about Saints than other papers but yes - there is a lot of cr*p printed. For example, Capel was supposed to have been a done deal today.
