Maybe! I think Carl Anka said he does that in an episode of TOTD a while back. You might be right though, although makes more sense to me than about 10 illnesses in 5 months.Well, you have the motivation, but I don’t see the evidence
I don't think many of our players have that condition.It's a rare condition called scaredofbeingshititis
Absolutely terrible.. can feel great in the morning and awful by late afternoon. But by the next day it can be mostly goneRashford had norovirus, and then somehow was in the squad for the Liverpool game. Missed 1 midweek game.
You could have any reason for Carson and Phillips missing from the City match day squad and no one would notice a difference.
Way of excluding players out the squad, for a variety of reasons including limiting appearance fees etcCouldn’t find a thread, but it’s been mentioned a lot: It seems like, apart from injuries, that United have had a lot of absences through illness this season, much mote than other teams from what I can see through rapid googling.
Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Reguilon, Rashford, Martial, Lindelöf, Varane, Højlund, Eriksen and Diallo have all missed matches this season specified as illness, not injury. And that’s just from the top of my head. This strines me as unusual, apart from the period when Covid was new. Is this true? Or is it just own club negativity bias (OCNB). Or Ten Hag being more specific than other coaches on reasons for absence? (Don’t think so).
If it is true, then why? Lax quarantine praxis? STD-s ravaging a metrosexual squad more tight knit than ever? Bouts of virae local to Greater Manchester Area? Why aren’t City stricken then?
What say ye, Forum Physicians, Medical Muppets, Sickness Speculants, Absence Analytics and Queasiness Quacks?
I mean you are the bastard son of Aerys Targeryan. Not much luck comes your way
Just thought Eric (incorrectly) uses the term illness to cover a range of issues including minor injuries.
That said, if they are really illnesses like colds and flu we need to consider getting Beechams as our next sponsor.
Now this is more the conspiratorial mode I was looking for. Better than ‘I just think hamstring is called ijlneeszs in Dutch’.Way of excluding players out the squad, for a variety of reasons including limiting appearance fees etc
Hope he brings his PEDs and herbal ailments with him..Patience, we have David 'marginal gains' *cough cough splutter splutter* Brailsford on board now.
Erik Ten Shags, Erik Ten Stag.Now this is more the conspiratorial mode I was looking for. Better than ‘I just think hamstring is called ijlneeszs in Dutch’.
Former Molde coach Åge Hareide once left out team star Daniel Berg Hestad citing illness, later it turned out the coach had had an affair with the player’s wife. Maybe, just maybe Eric put Ten Hags under the Christmas tree? Eric ten WAG?

Yes. The players are ill in discipline.So is the United Flu just a hangover?
Liverpool in the nineties: Neil Ruddock, Julian Dicks, and the elderly versions of Jan Mølby and John Barnes. They used to say to Mølby to stay ahead of the middle line or the pitch would tip.The food at United is, if anything, too scrummy.
Is there another big club that has had so many players in recent history that look like they’ve got weight issues?
Rooney
Anderson
Shaw
Schweinsteiger
Lukaku
Casemiro
Probably others I’ve forgotten
True.Liverpool in the nineties: Neil Ruddock, Julian Dicks, and the elderly versions of Jan Mølby and John Barnes. They used to say to Mølby to stay ahead of the middle line or the pitch would tip.
True.
Graeme Souness did a truly remarkable job transforming an ageing but still very good team into a bunch of fat cloggers.
He put fatty fried haggis in the chocolate machines at Anfield.
