Spitting Player

Not sure about this, but his injury should have no bearing on the situation, therefore his ban, if he gets one should start as and when it is imposed whether he is injured or not. So, his injury might have a small silver lining

 

He'll be back from his injury and ban just in time for a £5m move to Palace

 

Ban won’t matter.

Broken ankle and ligament damage. Out for ‘months’.

 

Or, as our medical team like to call them, 'years'.

 

Thanks for the seasono.

 

A silver lining would have been a guilty decision and a 10 game ban.

 

The irony. The gods really hate us, eh. We're clearly chock-full of hubris.

 

"You make your own luck" works both ways.

 

[PEDANT_MODE]Great gag, but...[/GREAT_GAG]

 

Can't believe I haven't asked this before (if, indeed, I haven't) but why exactly is it you have a signature that's an enormous image of several shades of pube-specific hair dye?

 

Funny reading the first page of the thread. Innocent until proven guilty, eh

 

Whereas I took the noble path of declaring him innocent even if he was guilty on the other thread. Safest way.

 

Our defenders looked on in shock as Louza blocked a cross, only for the heroic number 6 to go over on his ankle ending his World Cup dream and Watford’s season.

 

Now they've seen the unfortunate consequences of trying hard and attempting to stop the opposition they'll steer even more clear of it than they have so far this season.

 

An alien concept for our international PL superstars anyway.

 

You can't be a true fan if you have to ask that question.

 

As he lunged to block the cross with one leg, his trailing leg seemed to get caught under his body and at most he seemed to roll his ankle that was underneath him slightly. In fairness it looked pretty innocuous at the time, the sort of lunging block/challenge you quite often see several times a game. Rotten luck for the lad, hope it isn't too long a lay off.

 

Got to be 6 months at least, surely?

 

Wouldn't surprise me unfortunately. It seems it takes between 6 weeks and 3 months for the fracture to heal plus the ligament damage and all the physio/fitness work needed afterwards.

 

So sad for the lad ☹️
