Will Daniel Sturridge ever play for us again?

Bilic was very complimentary of him yesterday.

Considering hte other news out of West Ham, I'd offer Studge straight up for Antonio (Stories going around that Antonio wants out of West Ham - pissed off that Snodgrass and Fonte got more money than he was offered to sign up).
 
Seriously, old friend? Antonio's not bad, but I've got to say I'd see that as the kind of signing we've been making for years, OK players who don't actually take us forward.

He's really good in the air, works his socks off and has improved every single year I've seen.
But we need players like him on the bench ...
 
Are we starting a sweep for which date he gets his next injury?

Fuck it, he just needs to survive another what, 3 weeks?

Stick him in an oxygen tank with a fuck tonne of horse placentas post match/ the whole time
 
We've played Southampton 3 times this season and come up goalless each time. The front line was like this for each game:

League 0 - 0 away: Coutinho - Firmino - Mane
League Cup 1 - 0 away: Firmino - Surridge - Lallana
League Cup 0 - 1 home: Coutinho - Sturridge - Firmino

Maybe it's the matchups they like, or maybe it's just bad luck. I dunno. Maybe we should give Origi a go to give them a different opponent this time, let him bang bodies with their CBs and soften them a bit (he's about the only striker we have who can do that), then bring Sturridge in for the second half to turn their legs to jelly. Fuck with the defenders' minds a bit I guess. We haven't cracked the code this season, so it's time to cheat.
 
Origi is a little like Hesky.. he should be bruising and dominating but he's actually just a tall Pussy with minimal fight & aggression. If he had the tenacity of a Bellamy or Dickov he'd be twice the player.

Football star Daniel Sturridge peers through a haze of smoke as he sucks on a shisha pipe hours before his team flopped to defeat.

The 25-year-old England international, who has struggled with injuries all season , was snapped puffing away with a female companion in the VIP booth of a nightclub.

A single session on the powerful Middle Eastern tobacco pipes is said to be the equivalent of smoking 200 cigarettes.

The next day, striker Sturridge – currently nursing a hip injury – was at Anfield watching his Premier League teammates lose 2-1 at home to lowly Crystal Palace.
 
more worryingly , his female companion looks like a bloke.

the club should let this slip, rinse him for all he's got left over the next few weeks and the jettison the crock
 
Oh my God. An actual shisha pipe?!

Christ macca, where'd you pull that from, the mail or the s*n? That's gotta be the mail that. Only they would pull that ludicrous stat about 200 cigarettes out. Anyone who has used a shisha pipe would know that was complete arse.
 
Sunday Mirror.
They've slipped further than I hoped! Not that I've ever read it tbh!

The stories about people using shisha pipes are easy prey though. For some reason it looks benign to the public, despite being basically a massive fucking cheech & chong bong, only without any fucking weed in it, containing flavoured tobacco instead.

I struggle to imagine why anyone thinks it's any different or worse than having a drink in a bar.

I've done shisha many many times myself, & it's always been a way more relaxing & comfortable type of socialising compared to drinking.

Myself and a few friends were smoking a shisha pipe last weekend.

It is very, very mild. I think that's part of the point of it. I don't smoke and I never even noticed any sort of 'hit' of it, so I've no idea where the 200 cigarettes figure came from.

Maybe it was a mistake with a missing decimal point and it was meant to say 0.200 cigarettes?
 
Oh & I know where they get their figures from, the same mental place hmrc do.

They tax it as full tobacco cos they state its more harmful than tobacco alone (i tried to challenge this once in work when I worked there & got nowhere, despite pointing out it is actually just tobacco that is flavoured so can't be more harmful).

Hence why I said anyone who'd ever tried it. In reality you barely feel anything, compared to taking a pull on a ciggy for the first time when you feel like throwing up.
 
The source is probably the WHO study from 2015 here (pages 3 - 5 of the actual report):

Hahaha. That's actually amazing. Talk about misleading fucking statistics. That use of statistics right there is staggeringly bad.

I can see straight away where they've got that stat, or at least half that stat (they've doubled it for media purposes), & it is massively, fatally flawed to begin with:

I can explain why it's horrifically flawed should I need to, but I doubt I do.

A cigarette smoker smoker smokes for up to 7 minutes, a shisha smoker COULD smoke for up to 80 minutes so we should increase the damaging effect by ten fold....

Fuck me, this is an actual WHO document?!

Same logic. You drink a shot of whiskey. That's 1.5 units of alcohol in one minute. You drink a pint of lager. It takes twenty minutes to drink. That makes 30 units of alcohol per pint, cos we just proved it with the whiskey.

You are beginning to understand how I feel on a daily basis, and why I want to kill them all.
 
Was really good for us yesterday. There's no doubt about his talent but he is just too injury prone, though I would only look at offers over £35m.
