Someone take that off him quick. At his age he's going to give himself a very bad chronic degenerative wrist injury playing that organ.

FFS he's only 18! Overusing his organ.
 
Now, I know that invariably this is going to mean that I'm somehow in Damon's "gang" now, but I do have to point out that he is, in fact, completely correct in stating that younger athletes are more at risk of injury than others.

Evidence, you say?

Well, there's this: http://www.youthsafe.org/factsnfigures/facts-a-figures.html

Yes, I know that doesn't specifically deal with sporting injuries; however, I draw your attention to the paragraph entitled "Why is the risk of injury in young people so high?" - factors such as overconfidence and lack of experience will affect younger people in all areas of life, sports included.

Then there's this: http://www.akspublication.com/paper08_jul-dec2008.htm

An examination of the prediliction in younger athletes (defined as between the ages of 6-20 years in the intoduction) for injuries related to "overuse" of muscles, joints etc. - a higher proportion of this type of injury than is commonly seen in adults.

I could go on, but then it will get even more boring.

The moral of this story is - when you're right, you're right. Can we all go back to being mates again now folks? Testing times are meant to bring people with common ground together after all, and we seem to just be bitching at each other instead.... :(

Really interesting that first link. I'd love to know the definitive reason for why Moyes refuses to even bring Barkley on even for the last ten fifteen minutes though as he seemed pretty incredible in pre-season.

Mind you, I hope I don't find out during the transfer window.
 


Did he sleep with Moyes wife or something? there is no reason why he shouldnt be playing. He has more skill/class than 90% of the team.
 
i reckon he'll get played after transfer window has closed. Then when he's the best thing since God himself we'll at least get to see him for 4 months before we tart him out to the highest bidder. WHY Blues? WHY? Ffs we're EVERTON FOOTBALL CLUB. Not f ucking stoke or fulham. FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS FFS!!!!!!!!!
