He’s done a great job no one can deny that , however he has also spent over a billion pounds on his squad , even if he wins the treble this season , for me Eddie Howell gets manager of the season
Magnesium?Seriously not funny butZest Is there a reason why four of the Goons Women's team have suffered ACL injuries?
Training methods maybe?
ACL injuries are rampant in any women's sport in which they're cutting and changing direction, a significant contributor being the way women's bodies are constructed with wider hips and the legs pointing inwards leading to more lateral instability in the knee joint. Bunch of other things too, the female ACL is often somewhat thinner, the ratio of the strength of various muscle groups in female athletes tends to be different than men.Seriously not funny but
Training methods maybe?
It's a little bit like the epidemic of Tommy John surgeries among baseball pitchers, we've reached a state when athletes can be easily trained to accomplish something their body can't reliably handle over time.
I have to admit even the last few weeks have been the least stressful and most apathetic time following Spurs in many moons.
Feels weird cheering on other teams to win against our rivals however. Is this what it's like to be a West Ham supporter?
Full marks to Pep's philosophy, tactics, approach to games etc
but
Pep would always have succeeded in PL. City's capital in the hands of capable footballing men(soriano and txixi) who oversaw Barca's glory of 2006-2010 made it a question of when and not if.
Pep has never been subjected to the limitations other managers find themselves in. Comes in, calls their legend Joe Hart shit, gets in Claudio Bravo, finds him crap, gets in Ederson. All this across a single season.
Also wouldn't the foreign manager argument be already decimated by the fact that not a single Englishman coach has won the PL?
Do you consider the Scottish to be foreigners then?
Biggest game of their season this weekend. Fail to win against newcastle and it’s probably over for them. Huge pressure.
Seriously not funny but

posted good physiology.Here is a clinical trial on knee laxity in females, effected by ovulation :
Brief Summary:
The proposed research will focus on determining the effect of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) on knee laxity changes through the menstrual cycle in young active females.
As an extension to recent discovery, that MSM reverses the negative effect of estrogen on engineered ligament function, the proposed work is designed to determine whether MSM can decrease the negative effect of estrogen on knee laxity in females.
Ligament function is determined by the content and cross-linking of collagen, which is influenced by a milieu of biochemical and mechanical parameters. The greater the amount and cross-linking the greater the stiffness and strength of these connective tissues. In engineered ligaments it has been previously shown that the high levels of estrogen, normally present in the days before and after ovulation, can inhibit the cross-linking enzyme lysyl oxidase. This decrease in collagen cross-linking likely increases connective tissue laxity and contributes to observed 4-fold greater occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in females. Conversely, MSM increases collagen cross-linking and recent work conducted by the Baar lab in engineered human ligaments treated with high estrogen demonstrated that MSM could completely reverse the effects of estrogen on ligament mechanics.
The proposed research aims to advance this promising pre-clinical data and apply in a clinical trial. This research also proposes to quantify that knee laxity increases up to 5mm between the first day of menstruation and the day after ovulation and also that the magnitude of the increase in laxity is directly related to the magnitude of the change in estrogen. Importantly, a direct relationship between knee laxity and ACL rupture exists. For every 1.3mm increase in anterior-posterior knee displacement, the odds of ACL rupture increase 4-fold. Therefore, any treatment that decreases knee laxity could be expected to reduce ACL ruptures and have widespread application across the general active population and high-level athletics.

No results published. Only 2g dose used (Seems low to me).
Magnesium and Calcium are obviously central (Mag relaxation of muscles and Calcium preserves muscle length, avoids excessive contractions). If muscles aren’t relaxing and maintaining length this will obviously pull on the ligament.
Omega 3 and Vitamin C spring to mind.
When talking about the English premier league yes... But we also had wenger and Jose (and loads others) before pep
.
North of Watford, defo foreigners
Funny enough, I don't feel very 'baited' or 'angry' by said tracksuit: just confused as to why a professional footballer would be so small-time when their team was apparently focussing on a title challenge.
But then again I'm not entirely shocked by the man who bigged up his own leadership credentials from being the latch key kid.
Surely it is just a member of staff’s track suit top he’s put on with the same initials. I doubt it is that deep.
