It doesn't matter much, does it? If he was 20 stone and could run for 90 minutes no one would be bothered.
I play 5-a side (like many of you probably do) once a week (90min) then do next to feckall the rest of the week. Pretty much run around all game, headless chicken style but I never get injured, no matter how hard I stretch or sprint.
Couple of years ago I put on some weight, 40 pounds to be precise. Not only I lost pace, I started having those hamstring problems I always heard about but never experienced. Had to rest for three to four weeks a couple of times. My ankles started hurting and for the first time my knees felt kind of weird. Of course you could all put that down to me getting older but I was in my mid 20s.
Anyway, I stopped eating shit food, lost the weight in an year and now there's not a sign of any injuries, I'm back to my previous self.
What I'm saying is from my experience extra weight does damage. Could also be bullshit, I know. United have medical staff and they're supposed to know their shit. But It makes you wonder...
Recurring hamstring issues suggest he might actually have a problem with his lower back which is ultimately linked to posture.
It's incredible how much you lot want to gossip about another man's weight.
If he's in terrific shape why don't he ever seem to complete 90 minutes without fading after 70?
It's virtually never happened for us. I can't remember one single match where he's looked good throughout.
You remember every single game he's played in for the last 5 years? I'm impressed

Fast-twitch muscles, he's an explosive player and lacks 90-min CM stamina.
No-one would call Yaya Toure fat would they?
It's a bit of a caf joke, no one seriously thinks he's allowed to be out of condition. My view is he simply isn't a CM and should play higher up but he doesn't look good wide and isn't good enough to play in the hole. Man without a position in a top team, will possibly be spectacular as a hole player at a slightly lower level.Thank god for a bit of sense. Marjen I normally find myself agreeing with you, but I can't understand how anyone can continue to peddle the 'fat' argument despite the ever-growing portfolio of photos of him looking perfectly trim.
do all the players do yoga now?, I remember seeing something about how when giggs started doing regular yoga sessions his injury jinx also went away.
I'm now fairly certain that Giggs took up yoga to improve his sexual prowess.
this worries me because my girlfriend has been suggesting we go and take some yoga lessons for quite a while now![]()

Has marjen always been this negative?
Briefly considered giving the 'not to his face' joke in reply. But I think he showed what he's made of mincing off the pitch after 'injuring' himself on the intimidating bulk of Tom Cleverley on Sunday. I'm not sure I'd be particularly worried about calling him fat to his face.
