Cech has a fractured scull :o.

Cech has a fractured scull :o.

Yes, I believe he is undergoing surgery as we speak.

[Brodel]

Yes, I believe he is undergoing surgery as we speak.

I heard earlier on radio 5 when they were interviewing a specialist that there is even a possibility of it being career ending. Hopefully that was just speculation and not based exactly on Chech's actual condition though.

[Kev1n]

Rooney who?!?!?!? Who needs Rooney when we've got Walcott :D

Arsenal and Muse fan? Nice! :D

Cech has been warned a return to action too soon after an operation on his fractured skull could prove fatal.

The stark warning comes from Peter Hamlyn, consultant neuro-surgeon and director for centre of sports and exercise medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, writing in the Daily Telegraph.

Hamlyn wrote: "If Petr Cech returns too soon from his head injury, the result could be fatal.

"He risks what is known as 'second impact syndrome'. This happens when a second blow causes swelling to the brain before it has recovered fully from an earlier injury. It is a situation that could prove fatal, even if the first blow is deemed not to be serious.

"With that in mind, I would think Cech is likely to be out for at least six months.

"That is about the length of time it takes for stout bone healing to take place. If the brain underlying the fracture has been greatly injured, his time out may be even longer.

"Luckily for him, skull fractures are not normally associated with severe injuries to the brain, which means we can anticipate Cech making a full recovery."

Sounds Nasty

[Crazysah]

Cech's dad says he will be back playing in 1 year. Quite sad to see him go for 1 year if it happens. I hope he does full recovery in 6 months.

Annyways... CHARLTON lost again and this time to Fullham. They have lost 7 out of 8 games now!

[geek_rohit]

One interesting thought though...none of the poll's top goalscorers do feature in the real list:

Scorer Goals

Andrew Johnson 6

Nwankwo Kanu 6

Darren Bent 5

Didier Drogba 5

Bobby Zamora 5

Tim Cahill 4

Frank Lampard 4

Benni McCarthy 4

Ole Gunnar Solskj?r 4

[Crazysah]

Frank Lampard does. Herman Crespo needs to be taken out of that list as he has moved to Italy now.

[Crazysah]

Chelsea won 2-1 with Sheva and Ballack getting their first goals for Chelsea in the league!

[Shibby]

And against my pompey as well :'(

Hey we were good, why would a team like chelsea take a striker off and put on a defensive midfielder?

Well we was good for the first 20 mins and last 10 mins.

[Crazysah]

Chelsea should have nicked a point. Really unlucky!

[PaulCabby]

Stand up if you're 4-0 up!

great win for arsenal, and whys nistrooy on the poll

[Andy07]

I really believe no one can handle arsenal when they are on song... not chelsea, not manutd and not liverpool.

Teams try to stop arsenal playing beautiful football tho. :rolleyes:

[Kev1n]

Van Nistelrooy is on it because when I made it he was still at Man Utd. Maybe some mod can change it?

[Shibby]

If anybody likes to watch highlights of the match just try and watch them on sky sports at night. MOTD is awfull for highlights. They will always favor the bigger teams. And they won't spend much talking on the smaller teams

[geek_rohit]

You made it? :blink: :no:

Sorry mate but isn't the topic started by me? :)

And the last line of the topic clearly states that:

As for the poll, I know Ruud van Nistelrooy's position in Manchester United is not certain, IF he leaves the votes will goto whoever will replace him.

So Ruud was included in the poll...and as nobody replaced him at United so maybe those votes are for Saha :p

But anyways the mods can change that. :whistle:

As for the week's games. Good performance from United & Arsenal. Liverpool played very bad. Chelsea won with Shevchenko finally scoring his first premiership goal :p

Jermain Defoe's biting incident :| And Mascherano's reaction were even more suprising!!! :blink:

Oh yeah sorry. I thought I had made it. I misteaked it for the Champions League one I made.

That was what ITV did as well. Though the BBC isn't as bad. They always show Arsenal through the middle though :(

Poll was created by author before Ruud van Nistelrooy went to Madrid.

They don't stick Arsenal on first.

Time they do it's way past my bedtime and I am falling asleep.

The Carling Cup higlights on ITV were awesome when they said "And (team) didn't give up against Newcastle, and who blames them when you have Titus Bramble in defence?" It was something like that! Haha.

[Martyn]

The Liverpool v Reading match was awesome. That is the first time Liverpool have ever played Reading as well, and now we play them in two weeks again at Anfield. Funny eh :p?

Sadly i missed the Carling Cup but saw a few clips online of the match.

Even thou Newcastle got Titus Bramble they still won.

The pitch was bloody awfull from what i saw, it was to slippy and clumpy. You could pass the ball and then it would just stop because of the mud. And you could be like 10 yards from someone you could just run and slide in to them.

[Andy07]

West Ham need a new manager, shocking defeat to a pub team. :wacko:

They have such great loyal fans... well mostly.
