On Brady, it depends whom you ask. There are those who say Brady mostly just stood there looking pretty while Belichick did the real work.
On Prickford, I actually agree there wasn't malice involved. I don't reckon he stopped to think that far - he just reacted and didn't give a stuff how it all ended up. That's more than enough for him to have been banned and it's a total scandal that he's getting away with it.

Its a disgrace he wasn't banned, but I couldn't care less in the end. Retrospective bans are of no benefit to the club that suffered from the instance and potentially only benefits rival clubs over the next 3 matches (though in Pickford's case that is obviously debateable). If a retrospective punishment affected the result of the match in question (such as a one goal adjustment in the final score line) then I'd be all over it
Fake news mate. Look further down on the tweet.
Opps, fell for it. 
Ah, good old arthrex. As a physio they came to a NHS trust I was working in at the time several years ago showing various surgical pieces of equipment. I remember messing about with a knee model and using their brace repair synthetic grafts and to simulate a ACL repair and then checking the tension of repair in all directions. It was a very good.
Medical studies have been positive. As much as speeding up the recovery phases has been important such as not having to use the hamstring or even patella tendon, therefore not impacting on the function of the hamstrings or quads. The main issue of rehabilitation is actually the gradual increased loading of the graft and then incorporating functional rehabilitation to that. It is all about milestones and key markers before progressing to next phases. The hardest aspect of treatment is the psychological impact on the player and even on those around him (team mates etc...)
If it is just ACL I suspect VVD will be back just as he was. However, it can be more tricky as you would expect if multiple ligaments are involved such as with Ox. He was a longer lay off and as we have seen has found it difficult when he has returned
A week to remember, after letting the player play on for 80 min in a derby
Agreed. He was a classy player and has mostly been a classy manager but he's let himself down over this. That club's ruined some decent players in its time. Pity they're extending their scope.
I don't think we're gonna be taking chances with his recovery. Despite the normal recovery time being 6 months, meaning he'd be back in the beginning of May, he'll probably sit out the entire season. However, the Dutch national team might pick him for the Euros.
This is big Virg we are talking about. Mid January.
He’ll be back to knock Bayern out in the semis.
That's actually quite an impressive feat
It is virg. He can do what he wants.
He’s 29 is nobody concerned we’ve seen the best of him now?
@Rosco predicted this when he was 26
Ha, indeed but at 29 I don’t see a speedy recovery of him ever getting back his pace.
Wasn't Ruud van Nistelrooy 28 when he damaged his? He came back ok, and treatment has evolved since then. Definitely a concern though.
I don't think our medical team mess around when it comes to knee injuries. Obviously Ox and VD have very different roles in the team but Ox was kept out far longer than I thought he would when he was injured.
Also, I read something about players who return from knee injuries being at risk of injuring their other knee as well. Happened to Ings, happened to that Italian player too, Zanolo or something.
Personally, I think it's better to let VD take his time. It's a mental thing too.
He was 24 when he had the same injury
My memory has failed me. For some reason I thought he got the injury whilst at United.
Nope he was 24/25, same thing with Ings and even Ox, a lot younger. At 29 you are just on the edge of decline.
No just before he signed so it pushed the deal back a year.
