There's nowhere near hundreds of thousands of car crashes every day worldwide. And even if there was it doesn't take away from how serious they are. I can't see how anyone is being overly dramatic here
Sergio Aguero | Performances

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Now who's being over dramatic.
I didn't say its uncommon either. Look we have different views on how to comment on car crashes that looked pretty bad and could have caused terrible injuries. Let's just leave it there and save any name calling.
God you lot are so annoying you'll argue about anything.
I don't like the BBC Sport headline for it though -
"Man City's Aguero injured in car crash", and in the subheading before clicking the article it states: "Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero was injured in a car accident in Amsterdam on Thursday night, the club confirms".
I mean - if you read that without knowing the injury, you automatically fear the worst. The lack of description in any of that signifies that he's in a critical state.
At least say the minor injury of it - (yes as a doctor, I'm taking a fracture rib as a minor injury).

It didn't though and by the looks of it, it was too slow to do so.
If it was serious there would be something in the headline like "in critical condition".
Yes it does, not all car crashes are created equal.
In this case it's overdramatic because everyone involved walk away with no serious injuries. The crash looks pretty slow impact too.
Also...
Annual Global Road Crash Statistics
- Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day.
- An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled.
And that's just the crashes that cause injury so....
No we won't..!
Doesn't sound like a bad crash, or that Aguero is seriously injured, might just be a bit of bruising.
I don't agree and I wouldn't assume the worst, I would assume like anyone a car accident is serious but critical? A big leap IMHO
Agreed thought that, in general, rib fractures are minor as injuries go
Hope he's okay, he's a joy to watch even if he plays for a rival team
We know his injuries are limited to his ribs that might be anything from bruised or broken.
People reacting to this as if he's hanging in the balance and news of how serious he's been hurt has yet to reach us, is bizarre.

No one is acting like that. That is a strawman.
No we don't! Stop making stuff up Joe, ffs! Stop being such a drama queen! lolzy
Mendy now Aguero. Kompany must be shitting it.
Many people have said "hope he's okay" or words to that effect - we know he is. He's damaged his ribs but is fine and will be assessed by City doctors at some point today to see how long he's out for.
Anyone know why he was in Holland 48 hours before arguably their biggest game of the season? I bet Pep is livid.
Exactly because you only say "hope he's okay" to people in ICU.
We don't hope he'll be okay. We KNOW he'll be okay on account of the fact we know that he's okay. Being desperately maudlin and being a hairs breadth away from declaring he'll 'be in our prayers' is ridiculous.
"This man is okay"
-Gosh, I hope he's okay
"Um...yeah he's okay"
- Really hope he pulls through
"Are...are you hearing what I'm saying..he's okay"
- Oh just because he isn't in ICU we can't pray for him?
Let's hope Elton John doesn't rush out a charity single.
Rib injuries are painful and we do not know how he will recover. So I do not think "hope he is okay" is overly dramatic.
I hope @Snowjoe is ok.
This. It's a damaged rib ffs. Car isn't even that bad. Good news for us anyway
This thread is a fecking car crash. Too soon?
But is it okay?
How so?
Plays into Pep’s hands anyway, we all know he’d probably rather not start Aguero but has been forced to with the unreal form he’s been in. This is the easy way out for him.
Won't somebody think of the car.
Maybe he was driving the taxi?
First giving instructions to the ball boy and now this. He really is everywhere.
Has he broken his ribs or yet to be confirmed.
Massive blow for City but they should be used to missing him during the season.

It was a joke dude.
Massive loss for them IMO. He turns their tiki taka possession into penetrative football, and adds drive to their play whereas Jesus is more passive and just a finisher.
I wanted us to beat them at their best, but to be fair we don't have Pogba either so both the star men are missing from the Manchester sides.
Can see Chelsea beating them this weekend.

My bad.
Hope he's okay. He will be in my prayers.
I’ve been watching a lot of Narcos recently, so I absolutely believe it was one of Pep’s sicarios.
Won't somebody think about all those neighbours out there? What if your neighbour, Brian Harvey, eats so much potato that it causes him to fall under the wheels of his own slowly rolling car? Nobody laughed then.
It was karma, dont think it is a coincidence after that cheap jibe of Pep
Glad he's okay, could have been much worse.
From a football perspective this isn't so bad for them.
Of course Chelsea coming up without Aguero is going to be difficult, but I just had a quick look at their fixtures and it doesn't look terrible, they certainly have the quality to remain competitive without him.
We don't play them until December 9th, and he'll probably be back by then.

He's already injured too.
