So it got me thinking, and working on a theory, the so called groin situation. You see, right before that friendly with Romania a month ago (that I promised to report about but probably never will
), there was a speculation about Charlie's supposed groin injury and how he'd be doubtful for the match. When the journalists asked him about it before the match, he replied, casually as always:"Well, I do feel a tension, but it's nothing serious. There is no muscle damage... my groin is just hard."
I thought that was one of his best quotes ever and shame on me for failing to share it with the general public while it was still fresh.
It however compelled me to start paying special attention to that special area on pics from that moment on (hey it was all for a scientific research!
) and I believe I noticed a correlation between the groin situ and his recent dip in form.You see, in the pre-2009 pics there is no groin situation. Charlie's as cool as a cucumber and so is his groin, he's always on top of things, having impressed pretty much everyone.

No groin drama below.
But come 2009 and we suddenly notice the groin is alive. It does look exciting doesn't it, but I bet it's rather distracting, or so would young Mr Corluka have us believe, because with its first signs of life he's somewhat astrayed from his usual faultless self, and played fairly average.
Ahem.
(I'd enclose more pics as evidence, but I'm this close to a heat stroke.)
So what could be the reason for this sudden groin uprising and the absence of his normal 'talking-to-me?' attitude?
Talking to me?A. Is there something on pitch that gets him excited?
B. Problems at home that leave him feeling unfulfilled?
C. Hormons / recent change of diet = an increased appreciation for pies? (notice how he's rounded up a bit in the last few months)
Let me know what you think!
Please leave your suggestions as to how I may help him overcome this - this is very important.
We thank you.
