Just a general question with nobody in particular in mind.

Do you think it would be possible (or easy) for a professional footballer to feign a hamstring injury to get himself a few weeks out of the first team when the going gets tough ?

Would probably be somewhat easy, more so then other injuries, but with all the medical scanning technology it would probably be easy to prove there are no tears or rips in the muscle. So ultimately would depend on a clubs access to such medical equipement.

Depends I guess.

I just tore my hamstring a few months ago and it wasn't just obvious to the Dr on the MRI but the whole back of my leg was black and blue, but then again i did it very, very badly.

Maybe YA Ya Is disappointed about not being in the highest paid team in the league.
Chelsea take that, £215 million a season.

Chelsea's player wage bill has overtaken both Manchester clubs

Chelsea have returned to the top of at least one Premier League table after annual figures revealed they have overtaken both Manchester clubs in terms of salaries paid to players.

The 2014-15 figures, which have been made available on Companies House, show that Chelsea are the biggest payers in the top flight once more after losing that position to Manchester City in the 2011-12 season.

The club, owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, reported a total wage bill for last season rose to £215.6milion, up £25million.

The salary bill for their leading rivals last season saw Manchester United's at £203million, Manchester City's at £193.5million and Arsenal paying out £192.2million on wages. Both Manchester clubs reported a drop in overall wages last season.

Chelsea announced in November the club had made a net loss of £23.1million on turnover of £314.3million - down £5.1million - but said they were well within the boundaries for complying with UEFA's financial fair play regulations.

The full annual figures reveal however that the club made a £42million profit on players trading, through selling Romelu Lukaku, Andre Schurrle and Ryan Bertrand - and despite bringing in Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. In the 2013-14 season Chelsea made a £65million profit in player trading.

The accounts also show that Abramovich injected funding to Chelsea via the club's parent company to the tune of £46.7million last season, and £57.1million the previous year. The accounts state: "However.. part of the debt has been converted into equity during the year via the allotment of ordinary shares."

Thinks that because Ivory Coast won the African Nations, the winner of the African Player of the Year Award should have been someone from the winning team in that tournament (i.e him). By giving it to someone who made no impact in the tournament, he's trying to claim that African authorities are downplaying or ignoring achievements in their own continent. It's a tenuous argument to say the least!

Report on the BBC there that the SFA are looking to trial a video ref in the Scottish Cup looking at penalties, red cards, goals and mistaken identities.
