Injuries, nice to see you again

Oh how nice it is to have good ol' injury back in the mix at Stamford Bridge.  Just three games into the Premier League season, and Chelsea are facing a mini injury crisis in midfield.

With Michael Ballack and John Obi-Mikel already struggling with knocks the later a muscle tear which sounds more serious than we are being led to believe the Blues suffered another blow over the weekend when midfield dynamo Michael Essien picked up a "serious" ankle injury in Ghana's World Cup qualifier with Libya.

University wants to team up with Dynamo in stadium deal; De Rosario kicks like a horse

4
It is looking more and more likely that if the Dynamo want a stadium in downtown Houston, they are going to need Texas Southern University's backing. Good news for the Dynamo, TSU's new athletic direct Charles McClelland is very interested in such a venture.
"My understanding of the proposal is that the Houston Dynamo and Texas Southern University would share the use of the stadium, including some signage, so it would be the home of Texas Southern University athletics and football program," McClelland said Wednesday, two days after meeting with a city official involved in the stadium negotiations.

What are some of the worst permanent/career ending football injuries? Brian McBride- If Fulham's captain looks a bit poker faced all the time, it's for a very good reason: like a drunken sorority girl dozing at the bar- he can't feel his face. During McBride's long career he's taken his share of hits, and many of them have gone [.
