No matter how well you look after yourself, it doesn’t stop you from being on the end of a bad tackle that puts you out for a year (and then becomes a recurring weakness). I do remember reading an interview with him when he was about 33 (and so already being asked about longevity) and he said that every decision he makes in his life is to give himself the best chance of extending his football career, and that he’d start to lighten up a bit once he’s stopped playing - pretty sure it’s where the whole “boringjamesmilner” stuff on social media came from.

About 25% of his career games he was a sub. Quote

Eddie Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Stevenage v Barnsley postponed tonight - I wouldn’t want to be scheduling Barnsley fixtures at the moment, can’t imagine there are many spare dates considering they’re already 3 games behind most of the league (4 behind us)! Quote

waffer cup 07 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Stockport winning 0-2 in Vertu cup, should see them through to semi final. Hopefully that will be a big distraction and effect them in the league. Quote
