Patience, we have David 'marginal gains' *cough cough splutter splutter* Brailsford on board now.
The United Flu? - What diabolical illnesses ravage us but lets City off the hook?
- Thread starter Grande
- Start date
It's a rare condition called scaredofbeingshititis
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.
Dunno why but this thread title amuses me. It is peak Caf showing its Rawk side.
Absolutely terrible.. can feel great in the morning and awful by late afternoon. But by the next day it can be mostly gone
It's the chef. He is still waiting for the club to deliver an apology letter from CR7.
I'm guessing the chicken might have something to do with it
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 etc
Sometimes I forget that name comes from GOT because since the show ended I have started to just associate it with the caf. Thanks for the reminder
He issshh shuffering from illness (sic)
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?
Hope he brings his PEDs and herbal ailments with him..
Erik Ten Shags, Erik Ten Stag.
Erik, The Naughty One
Maybe city players play through sniffles and slight tummy aches? Who knows!
Perhaps food poisoning from the kitchen that failed its food health and safety inspection lately.
Probably that undercooked chicken still doing the rounds at the Carrington cafes.
You can say a lot about our players but they have never looked scared to being shit.
‘It’s the food’ - I always wonder when you see the same joke in a thread ten times if each poster thinks they are being unique or has read the other ones and just decides they can word it better.
So is the United Flu just a hangover?
Yes. The players are ill in discipline.
Nofecksgivenitis
City’s players have central heating.
I almost vomited watching our last game. Does that count?
There's no juice, only water at Carrington, so no matter the illness, you have to sort your fruit juices wherever you can, Belfast, China, wherever
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

Racing case of the unprofessionalisms.
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.
