Well he was actually injured for three months. The 'not being up to it' aka 'on strike' was the two months following. I reserve my right to dislike him ... and his present boss. :)
Bridcutt? Wasn't he out for 3 months with a hernia and a pubic bone issue (whatever that is..ouch). Think he's injured at Sunderland at the moment too. A bit brittle I'd say. ???
