Hadn't seen this before.. Taken around the time he was talking to other clubs.
Ouch.
 
I hope its not serious and that he is able to recover in time. Like Rooney i am also of the view that he needs to play to keep up his levels of fitness. So lets get some news about the injury sooner rather later.
 
No one posted the photo of him checking his hip after the fall? Holy shit, he's ripped (no homo*)





*A little homo.
 
Some kids at school once fecked the pitch. It was a cricket pitch, and there was some sort of tube in the middle of it, must have been something to do with the sprinkler system. Anyway, they boned it, and the rest of us weren't even very surprised.
 
I feel he's stalled slightly in the last month, yet I wouldn't say it's down to him. His form hasn't dropped particularly (though a couple of misses have surprised me), but the goals haven't flowed quite as they were doing and he hasn't had that many minutes.

I think it's disrupting him being in and out of the team like he has been recently. He's "rested" too much and, as he said himself in press a couple of weeks ago, it affects his form. If the concern is injury, that's one thing, but I'm not sure that's the motivation. The guy is 29. If the likes of Evra and Carrick (who statistically covers the most mileage of any of our players) can be a near ever-present in their thirties, I find it hard to believe RVP needs to be on the 1-game-a-week rota already.
 
Yeah, whisper it but he's been a bit off-form lately. Has missed some absolutely glaring chances in the past month or so, and really should be even further along in terms of goal scoring.

His fluff against Real was particularly concerning. That's game deciding right there, and for a player of his class to miss so badly...

Would love to think Fergie will surprise everyone by sticking him in against Norwich.
 
He's played far too less minutes off late. Played a combined 50 mins or so since the Madrid game so I fully expect him to play tomorrow to get some rhythm and form.
 
Play him tomorrow, if needed take him off at 75. But give the man running games.
