rooney is the only one we should fear in this current united squad, he has a habit of scoring against us.

if chadli, eriksen and kane get a rythm going, i fancy us to beat ddg atleast once.
 
No Enner Valencia for Hammers. Cut his toe on a broken mug. Only at West Ham.

Did anyone else read a story about the toe mug and describing other freak injuries in which it said Darius Vassell was unable to play because when he had a swollen toe he decided to drill a hole in it to let it drain.........

Seems like a story I would have heard but I have zero memory of that one. Silly injuries are great though, I often forget which player was involved, someone dropped a bottle of salad dressing iirc, and was it Rio who tore a muscle while reaching for his tv remote or something.

Cutting your foot on a broken mug/cup/glass is relatively common compared to the most of the ridiculous injuries in football in the past 20 years.

Dave Beasant and David James respectively.

I also seem to recall David James dropping a bottle of aftershave or something on his foot at one point.
 
Canizares was aftershave, was mentioned in same article I was reading.

found a good list, the Rio one was watching tv but just I guess when you have your ankle on a table and your knee locks or even bends a bit due to position, still funny but I can understand that as someone with bad knees, too long with my knee locked straight or bent too far causes me problems.

Best ones are Batty being reinjured when being run over..... by his kid on his tricycle. Richard Wright twisting his ankle falling over a sign in the goal which said not to practice in the goal mouth. Slipping on dog pee isn't bad. Both the salad cream and aftershave are worse than they sound, both being broken glass and having tendons cut as a result.

The Vassell one stands out as being absolutely on purpose and completely brain dead. Cutting off your own toe with a lawnmower isn't smart, but it was an accident. All of them were accidents except for what Vassell did, which was so far beyond stupid, if he had a swollen ear/head/throat and tried the same remedy he may have received a darwin award.
 
Didn't Rio Ferdinand get a knee injury from watching tv with his leg up on a table for hours.
 
Once again worth pointing out the stats. Palace 20 games, 3 wins and 17 points. Pardew takes over, it will almost certainly be 5 wins in 9 games and 16 points.

Also goal record was 20 scored 30 conceded in the first 20 games. Scored 14 conceded 9 in the past 9 games.
 
I'd say a lot of it has to do with Warnock being a **** manager too. The players they have are more than capable, a lot of them showed that under Pulis too. Pardew is a solid manager that didn't really deserve the amount of stick he got but he's nothing more than solid.
