life seems to be going really well for you and then some the universe conspires to ram a large stick right up your arse?

Well, maybe you don't like it that much. I don't at any rate.

So here I am, right, happily powering along in the conference when my star striker evidently has been practicing his jumping, but not his landing and damages his spine. Out for 8 months. Damn annoying, that.

Then in the next game my star winger decided to turn right, when he obviously should have turned left. Snap goes the anterior cruciate ligament. Out for 9 months. Upsetting.

Come the following season and both of my blokes are back in training, doing really well, when my big signing -- my new star striker, a perfect foil for his partner, also does his cruciate ligament. Out for the season, which hasn't even begun.

It's not so bad when it happens to players you don't like, but my favourite players? Hmm. The universe is conspiring against me. It must be, right?

One of my players was injured for a day with a stubbed toe last week.

There is an epidemic of stubbed toes at my club.

Has any real life player ever been lame enough to give "stubbed toe" as a reason for missing a match?

I had a 24 year old lef mid wanting to quit the game due to a bruised thigh!!

The above should read like me after my footie games.....
...Zipp McDuff went home with a limp, seeking to get sympathy form his wife due to a slight sctatch cause but a bit of a rough tackle....

They're all bloody wimps in CM4. Next i'll have them wanting to quit because there ego got dammaged when I fined them for getting sent off.

Everyone's signed Zipp McDuff but me

I once stubbed a toe under a door so badly that the nail was split and pushed right up to the skin. It's grown back really weirdly. It's like there are 2 toe nails there, one under the other, with the top one splintering a lot and rubbing against my big toe. Not enough to keep me from playing a game though. I'm not that woosy.

That guy sounds familiar. 1986 World Cup Top Goalscorer?

God's constantly trying to screw me.

Now it's at a stage where he's just taking the pith!
