The injuries are down to overuse and only a serious recovery doping regime would prevent them

I think this could be a factor

quote:

In 1994, the last season LeMond rode professionally, he was already suffering from “mitochondrial myopathy, a degenerative muscle disease that drained his strength and may well have been caused by passive doping,” writes David Walsh in his new book, From Lance to Landis: Inside the American Doping Controversy at the Tour de France—an indispensable read for anyone who cares about pro cycling. “Passive doping” refers to the theory—supported by medical research—that “clean” riders like LeMond, by overcompensating to keep up with the dopers, do irreparable harm to their health.

Trying to compete with the charged up clubs on just bread and water is running players into the ground

The modern game is all about covering a ton of distance, so more players look like cross country runners. Just look at pictures of players from the 90's even, normal looking bodyfat percentages. Now most players are under what would be a natural healthy weight for them and suffer more injuries for it. Also the game is a lot worse to watch. Thanks Obama.

Regarding Brendan Rodgers/Hodgson's time management of Raheem Sterling:

"We're surmising how he was feeling but I never felt like telling the manager I was tired because I never felt particularly that I needed a rest. I know people will say, 'Well, we don't want anyone having burnout'. But I'll ask you now - can you name one player who has ever been burned out? I don't know of anyone"

It's great. He's not even in good shape for a normal person, much less than a professional athlete.

De Gea is pretty brilliant, I wasn't aware that he'd been slightly underpar this season, he's been class the last 18 months in my opinion.

Yeah but you watch Joe Hart every week. Chelsea have the best 2 keepers in the league. And then its a dropoff.

Also City x United isn't really a "big get" for Oliver, the FA have been pushing him all season as Webb's successor as Brave English Ref Who Can Do The World Cup Final.

Also mancchestrr United are a poo poo midtable team and City aren't much better

Clatts will go the the Euros and after that who knows. Oliver and him are gonna be battling for the next few years to go to Russia so expect those two to share the bulk of the Big Games with Atkinson and Dean probably getting a few in there on occasion so teams don't complain about seeing the same two.
I can't believe people care about refs this much, this has to be ironic
