JESUS TOMMORROWW :(:(


but get beter soon pat

I heard from Colin Clarke yesterday,Pats in hospital again with an infection in his hip bone.
Dont know how ill he is or if its only a course of anti-biotics and he will be well for the stains game.

i better see if i can change my predictions i put Pat down for 1st try

I bet he will be really gutted, last game at home and not playing with trent on what might be his last match at jjb. Best Wishes Pat and a speedy recovery for saints game.

No antibiotics if its a virus. I haven't heard much about this type of thing before - could be very serious.

Sounds similar to what Jamie Ainscough got after being bitten by a stains player!

Mathers, Calderwood, Carmont, Phelps, Colbon, Smith, Leuluai, Fielden, Higham, Coley, Hansen, Tomkins, Barrett SUBS McIllorum, Feka, O'Carroll, Mossop ????
