When you were a kid and had to play in goals in those halcyon days when you had jumpers for goalposts you never wore gloves. It would have appeared soft and sissy to put a pair of super padded gloves on as you took your turn in nets (even though there was no net.)
In its constitution the World Health Organisation defines health as, “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
On that definition how many of us could say that we are truly healthy? It could be argued that only top level athletes could claim to have achieved complete physical well being. The rest of us keep working away at our bodies sadly aware that perfection will never be achieved.

Reading went 4-0 up but as half time approached Arsenal got a goal back. It is not known what Gunners manager Arsene Wenger said at half time but his team certainly out-gunned the opposition after the break.
One major question emerged from the football matches over the weekend. How do you know when a player has dived? It is a major problem for the modern game and a difficult one for referees to call correctly.
To see Luis Suarez make a theatrical dive in front of Everton manager David Moyes as he celebrated his goal was an entertaining gesture on the Uruguayan’s part.
