There must be something internally wrong.
The invincibles never picked up the sort of injuries the team does now. We reguarly got 45-50 games a season from all of them.
Maybe they were just made of stronger stuff.

This is a disaster. There goes our glimmer of hope for getting 4th place.
This is what happens when you try to rush players back.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...uffers-setbackArsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Jack Wilshere has suffered a setback in his recovery from an ankle injury.
The Arsenal starlet is yet to feature this season having sustained the injury during a pre-season game against New York Red Bulls in July.
The 20-year-old England midfielder underwent surgery in September and was expected to be back in contention next month.
Wilshere seemed to be on track when Wenger revealed last week that he had resumed running.
But his return has been put on hold while the Gunners wait for the results of a scan.
Investigation
"Wilshere had a little setback which is under investigation," Wenger said on Friday.
"We don't know yet how bad it is. He has pain again in his ankle (when running).
"We stopped him right away. He is seeing a specialist today, so I do not want to give you any wrong information."
Wilshere last featured in a competitive match last June, playing in England's 2-2 draw with Switzerland during their successful Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
Time to buy Arsene no excuses.
I'm shocked.
FFS we need his creativity, its been the biggest thing we've missed. Time to buy Goetze!!!
Goetze is injured
As for Wilshere, what else can we do but laugh?
I never expected him to play til at least May and that was before the set back. Our medical staff is widely regarded as the worst in the business for a reason
the spring came and took the wind out of arsenal's sails. every fucking year.
why am i still shocked? the injuries to our key players are as certain as LDG's hangovers.
Henry, Arteta and Coquelin backon Bacary Sagna…
Bacary Sagna is back in full training. Many players who are not specialist right backs have been playing in this position so we are relieved to have Bacary back.
on Mikel Arteta…
He is very close to full training, Thierry Henry as well.
on Kieran Gibbs…
He will be back to full training on Monday. He will certainly not be involved at all on Sunday.
on Francis Coquelin…
He is back in the squad, he is available. That makes him, Henry, Bacary and Arteta back in contention for the squad.
on Jack Wilshere…
He has had a little setback that is under investigation at the moment so I cannot give you how long he will be out for. At the moment he is seeing a specialist and as soon as we know more we will communicate. It sets him back a little bit but for how long I don't know. It is the same foot but a different problem to the injury he had surgery on back in September. But is it an inflammation? We have to wait a little bit.
on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain…
He is alright, it was just fatigue. His calf was not gone or anything like that, he just started to tire a little bit. It is normal for a guy who plays a game at that intensity. But health-wise he has no problem. He will be involved on Sunday.
on Johan Djourou…
He has still not practiced today. It is a small hamstring problem - but a minor one.
on the overall position...
At the moment, many players are on their way back. I will have to decide on Saturday, I have to look at them and see how much of a gamble I can take because we play again on Wednesday. Gibbs will certainly not be involved at all on Sunday, but the others could be involved. That will be decided tomorrow.
Sagna and Wilshere are the 2 injured players who will make an immediate difference to the team.
The rest I'm not actually too bothered about.
