Morning Red Ed.
Would you care to elaborate on the “underhand” injury-recovery methods please?

{Ed001's Note - he allegedly uses methods taken from the Esteban Fuentes playbook.}

LOL! Cheers Ed mate. Be careful what you wish for Ed, if I see some I'm going to get you one now, you'll just have to wait until next month! hahaha. Oh man I just can't bloody wait for Dubai.

{Ed001's Note - you can get it out here if not to take back. A holiday is not complete without a stick of rock.}

Ed001 do you think there’s any truth to the rumours surrounding peps methods? It is strange how fast City players seem to recover from fairly serious injuries.

{Ed001's Note - well he did work with Fuentes at Barca....}

That is very strange about kdb. He is massive for city and I'm happy for him to be out all season. But, I'm not happy if his career is being jeopardised by iffy recovery techniques. He is a fine player, and also seems a nice bloke (is super cool, yes, nice) typical flem. I watched him last season and purred at times.

Thanks Ed01. Was looking forward for this today, as I'm specifically hoped for you to include the Ronaldo rape case. I am interested to know more about it, especially from you Eds in here. I don't know any of you guys, but strangely I trust you guys more than any of the other sites or mags.

Read one long article yesterday, there are loads of details in it, some transcripts from the interviews with the woman's family members and friends, and some breakdown of the alleged incidents. I don't know what to think about it.

Last few weeks you guys here discussed about some of good deeds done by footballer, and Ronaldo included. For now, it's kinda hard to believe this story (the rape case) .

I understand if you don't want to talk much or touch further about this in here.

Thanks again, Ed01.

{Ed001's Note - it is hard to believe but Der Spiegel, who are an investigative journal, rather than a tabloid, have what they believe amounts to an admittance of guilt from Ronaldo himself in the form of a document from his lawyers where he said she did not consent. I can only recommend reading what they have to say, as they have been saying since April 2017 that something happened and Ronaldo's only defence has been to claim it was fabricated and fake news. He was definitely investigated by Las Vegas police department, only for the woman in question to sign a Trump-style contract shutting her up. They were being used a lot by rich, powerful men to stop women prosecuting for rape or sexual assault, so it does not look good in that regard. However there is always the possibility that an American woman realised he was extremely wealthy and cried rape in order to extort a large sum of money. Though I am not sure what she would have to gain by returning with the claims now, as there is no way he is going to pay hush money twice, it just wouldn't be enough to make it all go away again.

I really do not know for sure, but the whole thing makes for uncomfortable reading. I hate to think that either side is true. Rape is a sickening thing to happen, it should not be used as a tool to extort money, nor should it be swept under the carpet using money to escape punishment.}

Is Dino Ndlovu related to the great Peter Ndlovu who played for Coventry (I think) in the 90's?

Ed001 I thought Pep sent all his players with ACL type injuries to Cugat - The doctor who uses stem cells etc in his treatments?

{Ed001's Note - it is not the operation that is the issue mate, it is the recovery afterwards, which is 'miraculous'.}

I don’t find the Ronaldo accusations hard to believe at all.
