It wasn't a phantom thread. Barry Glendenning of the Independent had stated that he had heard that Given was going blind, but the producers removed it from the podcast because they were worried about legal action. I started a thread on here asking if anyone had heard anything about the situation but it was locked immediately, no idea why, I wasn't trying to wind anyone up, just asking an innocent question.
If he was going blind, I can't imagine any manager putting him into a League Cup semi-final match.
