Yeh, there has to be something. We were getting fewer injuries when we were training on waterlogged university pitches, playing clogger sides from up north every Tuesday and Saturday in a Withdean sandpit with the most sophisticated sports science coming from one of Charlie Oatway's half time...

I too think this analysis is plausible. But it does make me think, are we over training the players then? Is there a point going for a marginal gain in athleticism if it increases the risk of a year long injury by a significant percentage? Again, I think sports science has questions to answer

You could well be right, but i'm still confused. £100's of million are at stake at top level football. We're talking about players, bought for £10's of millions and paid £100's of K a week. They have access to knowledge from the best sports scientists in the world. Surely part of the...

I'm not slow to put the blame on VAR for stuff, but surely breaks in the game reduces the intensity. So although the games may be longer the effect of very concentrated extreme exertion is reduced. In practice, it gives the players a chance to take on fluids, do a stretch or two and gives a...

I know there is an increasing amount of football, but i'm surprised that the sports science, use of data and the existence of large squads in the PL hasn't reduced the number of injuries
