Michael Johnson to Try Yoga

Slightly odd news coming out of Man City today is that 20 year old potential superstar midfielder Michael Johnson is taking up yoga. Not as a spiritual reaction against the new big money Man City regime, but in an attempt to cure his persistent pelvic problem.

“He is still having problems with pain and has not been training with the main group,” said Johnson’s manager Mark Hughes. We are trying to look at all avenues in an effort to settle the problem down.”

No doubt Johnson will have the best yoga teacher oil money can buy.

But if you ever saw Mark Hughes in his thunder-thighed defender-bruising playing days, you’d never ever have pegged him as the type of future manager that would have his players doing the moon salutation.

So clearly this isn’t your daddy’s Premier League, where men were men and bruises were healed with a bag of frozen peas. This is the slightly odd 21st century Premier League where players do yoga and Craig Bellamy sleeps in a hypoxic tent.
