What? Is it not legitimate to question the motives of this nosey-parker big mouth? Or the media that rushes to print his shit? Or the fans that seem to delight in bringing up every negative they can find related to the club? Do you have to be a (warning, massive, lazy and redundant cliché imminent) tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist to question why so many people are up to their elbows in anti-Arsenal bullshit?Quote:

Year after year we're 'top' of the physio room injury table, it can't just be bad luck.
We can't 'do a City' and buy £40m players to sit on the bench till needed, even more reason to look at this.
Yeah, completely fair for us the fans to ask questions. Not some cunt busybody from outside though who just wants to promote his book. Nobody has mentioned the fact refs let our opponents kick us off the pitch while booking our guys if they do half as much in return. Even in the most recent match Bayern players were allowed to kick Ox whenever they fancied it and only a couple of cards came out when it should have been five or six. The spuds will kick us off the pitch on Sunday too and we'll end up with more bookings. That will only be part of it. Wenger not sticking two fingers up at the national teams. Cunts like Hodgson picking our players when they are injured or recovering. It's not just the stuff the media is suddenly honed in on.Quote:

But when the marketing and media whores are used as supposed evidence then it's a non-discussion.
That attitude seems ignorant. Posters were already discussing our injury problems before I posted up that article. We've had discussions before like this wondering what the heck is going on in training and with the medical staff. When you lose 4 of your best players in one season, it's kinda hard for that to go unnoticed. If Liverpool lost Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge and Henderson, headlines would be ringing out 'crisis'.
If we had a complete media blackout on here, ignoring all sources, we'd be in for pretty unfruitful conversations. Your knowledge is limited. For example, making out as if the Prem isn't faster or hasn't changed much over the past 20 years is wrong. You can't say it's a myth when Wenger himself, other coaches and former players will say it's much faster. Personal observation and opinion isn't enough for this one. Especially if we're talking about the evolution of sport science and training. Over the past 20 years there is no way it's stood still and nothing new has been developed since Wenger arrived in the Prem.
Except that Spurs are shite.Quote:

Really hope Gibbs is back because Montreal will get skinned by whoever plays RW (Townsend, Lennon etc).
It's almost like you're saying we're the only club this happens to, we get too many injuries end of, more than any other team over the years and that's not because we get kicked off the park or because of International managers, there have been plenty of better footballing sides than us in the last 9 years that have coped fine and not likened to the walking wounded.Quote:

A number of our players are very injury prone, whether that's due to training, the way they are built, their physical preparation or the way we bring players bac from injury noone knows, but something needs to be done about it.
12 pins, around a 20min walk from the stadium.Quote:
