With so many trotters out of action our injury list is now so long it deserves to be published in three parts then filmed by Peter Jackson in New Zealand.
Part I: The Fellowship of the twinge.
Starring Alonso, Boyata, Riley,
Part Two: The Twin Towers of Pain
Starring Mears and Ricketts.
Part Three (to be released in spring 2012) The return of the Wings
Starring Chung Yong Lee and Stuart Holden.
The supporting cast includes almost everybody else with Owen 'Gandalf' Coyle as the magician attempting to defeat the evil forces of relegation from the likes of Steve 'Sauron' Kean, Roberto 'Carlysle' Martinez, Neal 'I love Sean Bean' Warnock, and of course Mick 'Wandering Minstrel' McCartney.
Other notable entries include Adam 'Hair of flame fingers of butter' Bogdan, Paul ' I swear i didn't leave that banana skin for Alonso to slip on' Robinson, Gretar ' No it wasn't me who put a bear trap under Joe Riley's bed' Steinsson and Chris ' I have the wings of an' Eagles.
This is of course a completely pointless article written just for fun on a bring Friday afternoon but as I haven't done one for a while I thought it might be a bit of light relief in the midst of a difficult time for all Trotter fans.

Sean Davis has to be in there as 'Crockem', the hobbit like creature who has been consumed by a life-long obsession with the magic sponge of power.

In BSA's days I'm sure we were more physical, had a smaller squad, yet still ended up with less injuries than the current lot.
Might be time to dust off the notebooks and check up on how he did it!

largehat sean davies as 'crockem'
Bricks is that confirmed about N'gog? Have just got back from the school run and haven't heard about this before now. How long is he out for?
wressle in BSA's day players were more scared of Sam than they were of losing a limb! He makes SAF look like Graham Norton on Valium. The injury list was shorter only because for a player to convince Sam he was not fit he had to be dead.
