I give up. I have no hope that this season is going to be anything other than terrible. This many injuries after just 2 games is absurd and if the first two performances are anything to go by, then it doesn't seem like much has changed at all. Unlike last season, I don't think we will get enough points early on and I am now resigning myself to the fact that this club is well on it's way to a dark period in it's history. Absolutely nothing is going right for us and we just can't break out of the cycle. No club can be in turmoil this long before it catches up with them and lands them in serious trouble, and we have been like this since Roman Abramovich was sanctioned.

Blimey! I never thought that @axman2526’s doom and gloom were possible to beat but you really have surpassed it by a mile! 

The day had to come. To you Sir Scott of Harris, I knell and surrender the helmet of dread, the sword of terror, and shield of oblivion. 

You have bested me me Sir. Arise, oh new champion of the kingdom of negativity!

There are many more out there feeling like I do, they just don't have as big of a mouth as me and keep their opinion to themselves 😆

Oh I get you mate, I really do. I cannot go full on negative on here anymore or @dkwboxes my ears in. ;)

And after getting my hopes up to have the men's side side ram though up where the sun don't shine I hope I have learned my lesson.

Scott matey, I think your problem is that you're expecting too much. 

I was completely with you last season, I bloody hated it because it was a waste of time and effort, an absolute circus quite frankly. But this season is a fresh start, I'm not expecting anything great, just some progress from the talent that we've acquired. It wouldn't be possible for us to become a great team overnight with all the new players all at once, it's not practical. But it had to be done unfortunately.

The injuries are annoying me also, because even when we have a good result, an injury is always there to ruin the day. But as for this season, expect nothing, and you won't be disappointed, hell, find some enjoyment in it. I usually find this forum quite funny after a defeat I can't lie, hopefully, TimesUpPotter comes back under a new guise, that was a belter IMHO! 

My fault for picking him in my fantasy team I guess ... I had De Bruyne as well LOL

I've done an MCL ski-ing. Very common ski injury apparently.

Novice skier in a white out on a black run. What could go wrong ? Oh, and it was icy as well. And right at the top of the mountain. And the first very run of the holiday 🙂 

I fell, the binding didn't release, and when my MCL went it made a "crack" sound like a bull whip.

I skied down as best I could on one leg and then spent three days limping about in the apres ski area drinking far too much gluhwein while everyone else in my party had a ball on the slopes.

Stupidly never had it looked at by a medical professional ... just limped about for a month as it gradually got better (sort of). Never went ski-ing again, and for years I couldn't run properly either (knee kept hyperextending). 

I had a physical exam years later and was told that my fibula was flapping about out of position at the top of my knee, so I guess it didn't really heal properly, although it doesn't bother me at all now 29 years later. 🙂

Can we recommend Carney doesn’t take this approach as I’d like his second goal to arrive before his 49th birthday? 

I’m kinda there on the doom and gloom also - spent a lot of yesterday afternoon in a right old grump! 

Have to lower expectations and not be surprised when you’re still disappointed. I’ll take two goals first, and a win one day please!

Fortunately for us, young Carney probably has access to the best medical professionals that money can buy !  That and he doesn't have to act the tough guy in front of a couple of tasty German girls that had invited me ski-ing 🙂 

I had hopes that carney was gunna be the star of the team, more maturity at such a young age and coupled with so much ability.  His goal was excelkent but so was an earlier incident where he overpowered was it Souchek over on the touch line and got down to the byline. Ah well not to be.

Why is it not to be?

He is young enough to bounce back - and think he can play a big part for years to come.  This is a real shame as he was growing into the role probably more than anyone else in the side. 

Do we know how long he's out for yet?

Same here. I've posted much the same citing him as a potential Bellingham for us. Who knows what Carney we'll get back and when.

Out for 6 weeks apparently

Update from club app says he has had surgery. No timeframe for return given, but I highly doubt it is 6 weeks

Yes 6 weeks is highly unlikely, but depends what type of surgery. If they have had to do a simple arthroscopy to clear out debris it's possible.

The lack of any given timeframe makes me less than optimistic !

Never seen a club have such high volume of serious injuries as we do.

Something is seriously wrong at our club in that department.

What do you suggest the club does about a player's boot catching in the pitch? Or a combination of a substandard pitch and a heavy oppo challenge? Or an oppo player landing with their full weight on top of an outstretched leg? That's Carney, Nkunku and Broja.

6 weeks isn't too bad. I feared for much worse.

It's every time our player picks up a knock...its a long term injury. Been like this for 2 seasons now.

If you think it's a coincidence that's up to you
