You in the US have given us in the UK many bag things, but we gave you Andrew Wakefield, and that was far, far worse.

That’s fair. And he didn’t drive all the moderates to LDs or Greens.

She’s as bad (obvs in a different way) to Corbyn. Worst Tory LOTO since Howard?

As LOTO won’t she have been briefed on the negotiations? So she’d have known that they DID happen!

Take an inch out of every seat and we could fit in another 5,000

Perhaps it’s about convergent evolution, and the size of a human is similar to other advanced species from other worlds?

We have the widest seats in the league I think? A mate went recently to the refurbished Kop and said the seats are tiny by comparison!

That’s correct. They wouldn’t give us more than 60k, so the plan was to have narrower seats in the future and have 10K more. I think the plans have given beyond that now.

I doubt the council will be a major issue, I think as a club we have the highest % in the prem of fans who come by public transport. Arsenal / H&I / Finsbury Park are all well set up for mass crowds.

My seats are perfect for me at The Emirates, so I’m not sure I particularly want a big upheaval with the stadium expansion. But with infrastructure work exempt from PSR, it’s clearly going to happen. archive.ph/NqjMN

I don’t think so. If there had been he’d have been straight off.

6 weeks if I’m wrong, 2-3 weeks if I’m right.

What made me look again was an MRI report from a patient with the same injury, but NOT an MCL injury as no pain stretching the MCL. Sure enough, loads of oedema around the MCL, radiologist has reported it as “grade 2 MCL injury”

I’ve re-looked at the Odegaard injury again, and it’s a direct blow on the medial side of the knee. I don’t think it’s a “real” MCL injury (where the MCL is stretched after a blow from the other side, but it’s soft tissue swelling *around* the MCL, that makes it look like it’s injured on the MRI

An MCL injury makes no sense with that mechanism of injury (a smack on the knee directly), unless he had another injury as he went down. The fact that he was still able to run around makes me think it’ll be short term (max 6 weeks, prob less)

"medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee"

What this means in terms of severity and time away from the team? @londonknee.bsky.social

Thanks
