Hi, does anyone have a contact for who books bands to play in the fanzone before games? Thanks

Would you rather they downplayed it and reminded everyone at home that womens football isn’t as popular? Isn’t this an inferiority complex?

You could say that about almost every other sport, does that mean none of them matter?

My 3 week old daughter is demonstrating the very definition of ‘squeaky bum time’ with 3 poos since extra time started!

I was going to type the same, great goal!

What blows my mind is that this happened at a meaningless pre season friendly!

@Ben6781 lost their collection of City memorabilia recently so I’m sure they would be interested

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887617702001518#:~:text=The average number of headings,six per player per game. I found this interesting study, admittedly from 2003, which says: During a soccer game all players are likely to head the ball eventually, though with varying degrees of skill, frequency, and neurologic outcome. While statistics on heading frequency for amateur soccer players are currently being developed, the heading practices of professional athletes have been examined. Tysvaer and Storli (1981) observed the total number of headings in 10 first division games, six English games and four international games. The average number of headings for all players was 111, that is, an average of six per player per game. If one plays 300 top division games, a player may expect to receive at least 2,000 lifetime head blows (Tysvaer & Storli, 1981; consider also that this estimate does not include any practice headings). This is a significant number of potential brain insults, and given the knowledge accrued regarding varying risks due to heading technique, it is imperative that athletes be sufficiently skilled in proper techniques, possibly reduce the frequency of heading, and obtain the best possible knowledge about heading and cognitive function. The conclusion was: Players with the highest lifetime estimates of heading had poorer scores on scales measuring attention, concentration, cognitive flexibility and general intellectual functioning. As is happening in rugby currently, I can see lawsuits from ex players with health issues they are attributing to heading the ball, which will lead to a change in the rules or safety equipment, if lawsuits successful

Or hold a pole?

You’d get a lot more fouls I think as defenders get beaten by the high ball over the top, as they can’t head it, and end up chasing the attacker and taking him down

If you don’t like Leeds then the Damned Utd is for you! The book is very good and much more like a novel really -
I wonder how different the game would be if heading was banned and treated like a handball if it happened? I assume a lot more passing on the deck and less hoofing it up the pitch, which is a good thing, although corners would be interesting! I can see a ban coming in the future due to the dementia risks that are coming out, same with tackling in rugby. In the end legal litigation, if successful, would open the floodgates for claims, and insurance companies would then change what they cover, and all of a sudden it’s a domino effect

The Romford Pelé: It’s only Ray Parlour’s autobiography https://amzn.eu/d/8vxxglR Ray Parlours autobiography is brilliant, so many funny stories, and crosses over from the old school culture to the Wenger years, I read it in a few days, could put it down! Not football, but Shoe Dog is a brilliant read, all about the story of the guy who set up Nike to try and compete with Addidas, sounds boring but it was really good, one of the best sport related books I’ve read Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of NIKE https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0182LF9SG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SJ0WH1VACV9GZ1Z8C4Z0 -
Man Utd had their fun during the Fergie years, so they definitely are due a long fallow period! ??

Sounds interesting. I was intrigued to see how many of the top sportsmen the birth month applied to. I didn’t hunt around and just chose a sample of those ones which seemingly didn’t link in with the Matthew effect -
