        or make a judgement based on the number of minor injuries he's had since he signed for us (NCFC) - blindasabat, Feb 28, 13:46:02
        
        my continuing defence isn't admirable to Thorne, it's to the whole team (NCFC) - pants, Feb 28, 14:01:09
        
        but the rest of the team aren't constantly injured (MLJ aside) and so (NCFC) - blindasabat, Feb 28, 14:39:52
