Tbh, it's not that football weekly lacks humour. It's more that it lacks quite a lot in real hardcore football stuff. Too much of a "Yeah, none of us bothered to watch that game, we won't talk about it" vibe.

That's awful.

Been meaning to ask this for a while. What is it about footballers that so many of them (relative to other sportspersons) seem to collapse from heart related problems while on the field? Is it the fact that its 45 minutes of constant movement with no real rest and frequent bursts of acceleration required tat causes these problems to get aggravated? I'm not aware about too many such incidents in other sports, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

I reckon it's a combination of football being much more intense physically than it was 20 years ago combined with the profile of the sport worldwide.

Mertens wouldn't register anywhere near as much if he wasn't a footballer IMO.

Would register even less if it wasn't for so many high profile countrymen over here tweeting about it.

Law of averages and all that too. More people play football than any other sport, so it makes sense that there's a correlation with the volume of this sort of injury, I imagine.

I remember a Norwegian swimmer (was favourite to win medal in London) collapsed in the shower during a training camp. Again, one of those the rest of the world don't hear about.

Odegaard unused sub for Real Madrid today, receiving his third squad number without having played a match yet.

Norwegian websites had live coverage of all substitutes and are calling for Ancelotti's head.

So, what do we all think of the concept of a bubble game and how is it not a human rights violation

I still enjoy it, not taking football too seriously without being overly football ramble style ladish has always been its strength but I do think it has gone a little down hill. Not enough Sid these days, he used to feature pretty much every episode. It is still really good when Auclair or Honigstein are on though.
