I think if there is an argument based on what I have seen over last few years, it is that when a player is said to be back in X weeks, it tends to be after that they do come back, and sometimes by a long way, again we dont know if that is their fault or something experienced in many clubs, but its a trend I have seen.

And this is my point.

Name ONE club that doesnt suffer from the same problems. Its not just Spurs.

People here do not follow other clubs injury lists intensely. They have no idea, otherwise they would see quite easily that our problems are not even the worst.

Thats why the injury list I linked from physioroom on page one was completely dismissed I guess.

Because it showed Newcastle with 8 injuries to our four, and four or five teams with more than us, a couple on the same, and the goons with one less.

Should they all also blame their medics..

None of that means that we couldn't get better ones / or that our current ones are possibly the worst of clubs of a similar stature to us.

I never said it did mean that.

If people want to claim our medics are worse than Liverpools or Woolwich's, then prove it.

Im claiming they are not. Based on the logic that our injuries are no worse, or longer than those teams in general.

Thats a lot of maybes for people to claim that our medics are shit and should be fired.

Thats my point in this. Im tired of hearing people babbling on like they know something the club doesnt.

but thats what everyone does here all the fucking time. People act like they know everything and in truth none of us really know diddly fucking squat. Ive seen people saying paper gossip is overwhelming evidence that sandro is leaving.. well the only person that really knows that is Sandro himself. People act like they know what goes on behind the doors of the club, and we don't know fucking anything. It bugs me too actually, that people say "Oh yeah so and so doesn't like this.." but HOW can we possibly know? most of this forum is made of bullshit and guesswork.

Why do people who claim they are worse have to prove it, but you are just allowed to state your opinion as fact?

I havent stated a fact. Ive backed my opinion that they are competent doctors in this thread....you just quoted it.
Ive used logic to suggest that they know their job, and the fact that our injuries are normal for any football club to suggest they are no worse than the medics at other teams.

People saying they are not good enough and should be replaced have not said how they are worse....or explained how our injuries could have been fixed quicker.

Its a wild statement based on a childish notion that we are suffering more than other clubs.

There was me coming in here expecting some lighthearted nostalgic reflection on some of our favourite Tottenham heroes.

Only one man can answer this.

Gothamizm , Spurs medicos good, or Spurs medicos bad?

Wikipedia Brown · 30 Jul 2014

I'm applying to medical school next year. Give me 4 or 5 years or so then I'll report back with whether or not they are good doctors

I'm currently in, and

eanN17 has his degree, and I know we share the opinion on the matter simply that sammy is an idiot.

Im happy to support the club doctors.

Maybe you think you could do a better job with the Spurs players....you know, without even examining them, seeing as online rumours and hyperbol counts as "overwhelming evidence" in your book.

The club are paying Dawson good money doesn't make him a good CB.

Calm down Sam, you've made a fool of yourself in this thread already with your poor interpretations of points already made to you. No need to continue the opportunity.

I'm glad you wish to support the current physio team. I'm sure they're well-qualified individuals. But whatever the cause of the problem is, we do quite possibly have one. We had more injuries last season than any other Premier League side. Several people have mentioned various possible causes, i.e. the mentality, the coaching, the training techniques, and the physio team - all of which could either be or at least contribute to the problem.

So my stance is not to directly sound out and denigrate the club's medical team specifically, but it is perfectly fair and reasonable to be asking questions as to why this happened. We don't know for sure what happened with Lamela (as that information is confidential anyway), but whatever the cause it doesn't look good. Judging from my experience, I have to say the allegations as to what may have occurred do at least make sense, even if they aren't entirely true.
