Aston Villa Vs Manchester United

It makes sense. Chicharito's cat had the sniffles during the week, but I didn't put that and his injury together until now.
 
Commentator said we just lost 1 of the last 69 games when leading at half time. What game was that?
 
'you don't see keepers getting injuries like that but it comes at the end of a tough week for Shay, what with the Gary Speed situation'


:wenger:

Did John Barnes just link Given's hamstring to the death of Gary Speed?

Why wouldn't he? Stress does have physical effects. If your body is constantly producing adrenaline with no release, your muscles can stay tight when they should be relaxed and you could easily pull something.

How much do psychological factors such as stress and personality contribute to the risk sports injuries? | Sports Injury Bulletin

I'm paraphrasing, but that grief can make the body more susceptible to injury :lol:

Is there any way that this may be possible? Or is he actually just trying to make himself seem somehow intelligent, how the feck would he know?
 
That's surely ligament damage for Chicha. I had an injury like that once; unfortunately, I played on for a short while & ended up with one leg like a pin & the other like the Elephant Man's.

Stress plays a part alright but would the death of Speed possibly affect his injury ? Seems like a completely stupidly random thing to say

What RCOOBC said. Stressors can have physical effects on the body, grief is chief among these.
 
Poor from Valencia, why pass?
 
Just to add to that:

In situations seen as stressful, athletes will often report attentional narrowing and excessive muscular tension, which are thought to increase the chances of sustaining an injury. Having a flexible attentional focus is an important attribute in many fast sporting activities that require both narrow (focusing on perhaps just one environmental cue) and broad focus (focusing on peripheral cues such as the positioning of other team members or opponents) at different times during play.

Stress can cause attentional narrowing which results in important peripheral cues being missed. For example, the football player that only attends to the ball may fail to withdraw from an unrealistic challenge (rather than stay on his feet) in which his opponent is obviously going to meet the ball first. This can result in a late tackle and/or injury. A significant body of past evidence also supports the notion that stress can cause increased muscular tension, which disrupts coordination and increases the risk of injury. A figure-skater who becomes tense during a difficult routine might lack coordination due to muscular tension and fall, injuring an ankle.

Relaxing is vital in sport, and in life. If you never proper down time (playing computer games doesn't help if your still stressed), can effect everything. Relationships, chances of injury, depression, outlook, ability, decision making etc.

So when the wife is constantly nagging you, tell her to give you an hours rest a day ;)
