PellegriniDid we not do something similar under Rafa ? Turned out shit right ?
Fake news mate. Look further down on the tweet.
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.
Zlatan did his at 35..
When Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his return from an ACL injury last weekend, he declared that ‘lions don’t recover like humans’. But a new surgical technique could be behind the striker’s miraculous seven-month recovery and is set to accelerate the rehabilitation of a host of other Premier League stars.
An ACL injury typically sidelines a player for nine months – but can take even longer depending on the severity of the injury. “The traditional way to repair the damaged knee involves removing part of a player’s hamstring and using that to create a new ACL,” says consultant orthopedic surgeon, Mark Frame. “It takes a long time for it to fuse to the bone and to restore strength in the hamstrings and quadriceps, because they’re inactive for so long during this process.
However, knee surgeons are now able to use a different type of operation, which could get players back on the pitch faster. “Advances in keyhole surgery mean we can repair the existing ACL, using a technique known as an arthrex internal brace repair, rather than taking tissue from the hamstring,” says Frame. “We can also place it back in its original position, which reduces the amount of bone which needs removing and hardware implanting. A number of Premier League players have had this type of surgery and have returned quicker."
Ancelotti has been a disgrace. He's trying the old trick of suggesting VVD injured one of his players prior to the Pickford challenge. It's taken him the best part of a week to 'remember' that. Classless from him, who is usually better than that.

This is big Virg we are talking about. Mid January.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.
He’ll be back to knock one out, with a semi.
That's actually quite an impressive feat
He’s 29 is nobody concerned we’ve seen the best of him now? 🙁
@Rosco predicted this when he was 26 😉
Wasn't Ruud van Nistelrooy 28 when he damaged his? He came back ok, and treatment has evolved since then. Definitely a concern though.Ha, indeed but at 29 I don’t see a speedy recovery of him ever getting back his pace.
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.Ha, indeed but at 29 I don’t see a speedy recovery of him ever getting back his pace.

My memory has failed me. For some reason I thought he got the injury whilst at United.He was 24 when he had the same injury
