liverpool will be dropped as one of the big four and tot will replace them

the tot revolution has begun

 

[Alan]

PLeased for Woodgate. Great player who's had nightmare injury problems curtailing his career.

Keane's reaction was priceless

Cant rely on Chelsea for anything

Game woke up towards the end, well done to Spurs.

I wish Chelsea played that attacking not only when they are a goal down, but all the time...

Good game nonetheless.

 

[Alan]

Serves you right

 

[mercurial]

i managed to have a look at Eduardo's injury and all i can say is
the poor lad... that bone sticking out of his leg just gave me shivers.

Eduardo - I am determined to overcome this injury

The Croatian, 25 on Monday, broke his leg following a challenge from Blues defender Martin Taylor in the third minute of the game at St Andrews. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery that night. The striker has since returned to a London-based hospital for further treatment.

“I don't remember the incident very well and it is not something that I want to see again on television or in the newspapers," said Eduardo.

"All I remember is that when I fell, I looked down at my foot and it had turned the other way. The rest is just a blank. It was an unfortunate situation but these things can happen in football.

Hopefully he makes it back alright.

Eduardo da Silva could have lost his left foot had medical staff not been so prompt in treating his horrific leg break, according to a specialist.

The Arsenal striker is recovering from emergency surgery after a sickening tackle from Birmingham defender Martin Taylor in Saturday's Barclays Premier League match at St Andrews.

Osteopath and physiotherapist Tim Allardyce revealed that any delay in attending to such an injury would likely result in amputation.

He said on BBC Radio Five Live: 'You can lose the foot, simple as. Once the foot dislocates like that, it can badly damage the blood vessels and it's very, very serious.

'The foot needs to be relocated immediately or almost immediately to save it and emergency surgery is completely necessary.'

Allardyce warned Croatia international Eduardo he faces a long road back to fitness and fears he may never fully recover.

'Imagine your worst ankle sprain and make it about 10 times worse and you're getting close to where Eduardo is,' Allardyce said.

'He could be out for several months. We'd expect a normal person to be out for about six months.

'With the level of fitness he'll need to get back to, it could be anywhere around the nine months mark.'

He added: 'Potentially, the bones will heal but there's all the other damage around the area, such as the ligament damage, the tendon damage, the soft tissue damage, the damage to the joint capsule.

'He's going to have to do an awful lot of work to regain full mobility and strength to the ankle to get him up to the standard of playing international football. Whether he can do that or not, I'm not sure.'

Even if Eduardo makes a complete physical recovery, Allardyce is also concerned about any lasting psychological trauma.

'Once you've sustained such a serious injury, you'll always tend to be aware of it before you regain full strength and confidence,' he said.

'It will have a big psychological effect, certainly for the next year, maybe for several months after that.'
