As far as injuries are concerned, while it could well be training that has an influence, I wonder wether it is just injury prone players. Evey year it was rvp who now is in and out of mu. With us theo wilshire gibbs diaby rosicky vermalen etc are just regulars to the treatment table. We sign sanogo who is known to be brittle and we sign kallstrom with an injury, but we have people like mert kos arteta sagna giroud flamini and caz who seem to cope. I do think we need to sign more athletic players rather than technical to carry the burden a bit. We are asking a lot of players to do the physical stuff more when in the past we had players to carry out that chore. As we go into the sharp end we again are losing large numbers of influential players to injuries and putting more pressure on the players available. The prem is very demanding on players this time of year and the physical players seem to cope better.

Roberto Martinez anybody?
Will see when he has his own team, laudrup inherited a good team and did well, got his own team and didn't do as good.
Thanks Dags. I will have one with lots of ice please son.
In a heart beat.
Gold's its not a bloody cocktail mate, lol

Wouldn't it be funny if we score at WHL and Wenger turn's to Sherwood and put's up his finger to say 1-0.
Oh, how we will all laugh, lol
Be funnier if it was 2-0 and Wenger had his hand facing the wrong way round mate. LOL
Lol, oh yes mate. Shame on you for thinking it though (smiles)

Hey guys,
I would just like to wish u all the best for sunday, I really dnt like spurs fans (prob not as much as u lot) but still can't stand the attitude or mentality of there fans, the club I have huge respect for as they are a traditional club with an element of class, shame the same can't be said about there fans :-)
P.s who is this vally person guy? Stop trying to take my place as the turnip that comes onto the arsenal page to wind them up boy! Once my child is better I will demonstrate to u how its done and u may even learn a thing or 2 :-), untill then gets studying for the S.A.T's
Hey Chris, hope all is well with little Jack (Wilshere).
Yes mate, once everybody is ok please come back and annoy the crap out of us, you have been missed mate, lol.

Who put up the pic of marines on Arsenal sightings? lol love it.
Dags. Guess who? After reading your post I founthe pre seaon training picture.
Read below Dags.
Oh yeah, hehe I thought it was you mate.
Your fingerprints are all over it, lol.
14 Mar 2014 15:44:40
Dags. You know you mentioned Wenger training pre-season is like being in the marines, well I found a photo of it and put ii on the sightings post for you mate.

So it seems we are looking into our Medical and training methods as a result of all the injuries. If you ask me its about time this was sorted. COYGs
When questioned about it wenger seemed genuinely ignorant of a possible fault with training methods. but did seem to be leaning towards a training overhaul like 'the mirror' suggests
14 Mar 2014 12:44:24
Is there any truth to Wenger being linked to the barca job?
he has not yet signed the contract, is there a reason for it?
does he plan to walk away if we do not win any trophies this season?
im aware not every detail is know, but a general summary would be apprecaited.
"My commitment is here and nowhere else." - Arsene Wenger ahead of the north London derby.
Never in a million years, Arsene wouldn't walk away with no trophies on the board, not even if we win the FA Cup this season.
Wenger is off.

Goldboy,
Valley person looks a lot like Peter Crouch lol
Hehe love it Gold's

Not normally one for stats but thought this is quite significant. Just league games alone, compared to last season while at Madrid, Ozil is only 200 minutes shy in 22 appearances for arsenal, than he played in 32 appearances at Madrid. And with 10 games still to play and even if he misses the next few games he will eclipse last seasons total. No wonder he's knackered and picking up injuries.
Ozil should not be playing FA cup and Carling cup.
he is not a physical specimen.
saying that I think the training methods are to blame.
it just can't be down to luck year after year.
we need to rotate wingers. we need to rotate midfield and we need to rotate strikers.
bring campbell from loan and he can play some games.
add another winger, if we have any chance of adding draxler its a must that we add him.
wilshere, ramsey, ox, gnabry, need to be rotated not played consistently every game.
ozil, cazorla and rosicky need to be rotated again not played all the time.
and this summer priority should be a starting striker not a second or third striker.
time to sell poldi, because wenger does not use him. might as well get some money, let him play and use that to buy a player who will.
Ozil is a superb player and has helped elevate us to this seasons premiership challenge and FA Cup semi. He is used to a less intensive league and a mid-season break. Next season we will see a stronger Ozil, in exactly the same way Mertesacker improved in his second season.
And! We need to buy decent players to be able to rotate in the first place.

Hi Eds,
Here's an idea for a poll. could you help set it up?
Q: Who has impacted the team most this season?
options:
Wenger
Bould
Flamini
Ozil
Ramsey
Koscielny
Mertesacker
Thanks.
{Ed033's Note - Ok, above Arsenal voting poll now up.

JENNY. The boys on here want to know who took the photo of you on the beach? Personally I would tell them to mind their own business .But you know what they are like. Anyhow did you have a nice time there and do you think you will be going back anytime soon. It's looks like the sort of place I've always wanted to go to myself actually. I've got to go as I can hear the wife coming up the stairs. Speak soon Jen x UP THE GUNNERS.!

Well he said his name was Peter North and he was a friend of Ron Jeremy's and that he could get me into films.
Didn't believe him because he couldn't explain the offside rule, well dodgy.
Did have a great time, the middle of the island is a lagoon and was something else. It was part of my travels and probably won't get back there. :-(
Smooth operator. hahah
14 Mar 2014 05:41:42

Hello fellow goons! Its been a while!
UEFA must have something against us or something, can't remember the last time we played a crucial champs league game with 11 men.
Now to what I really want to say. IF TV5 leaves I really wouldn't be disappointed, as much as I like him and know he is an extremely good player, I feel it is him and Van persie that cost us many cups over the years with their injury problems. I believe had they been fit we would have won that fa cup final against birmingham and we wouldn't have crumbled those other years.
Its not that koscielny merts are better CB's but its just that they don't get injured as much as TV5 does and hence have had more time to work on their partnership.
Another thing is I really believe we should offer sagna a new 3 year contract even at those ridiculous wages I read in the press, not just because he's had a great season but more because of loyalty, its only now that speculation about his future has been high but every other year he's been consistent and loyal. Oh and he is one of our most versatile players as well he can play across the back-line. Huh maybe we should try him in goal next, I bet he'd give szczesny a run for his money. Lol ;)
I just hope we don't embarrass them too much this weekend.

If barca hold to their word and invest heavily in their squad in the summer, I can see fringe playerz like alexis sanchez and pedro et becoming available if the aren't part of a deal.
snap snap snap em up if they do!
Alexis Sanchez and pedro are not fringe, but they obviously need to buy.
defender, GK, another midfielder and maybe another striker.
GK is already in the bag, but I expect them to spend atleast 60-80 million this summer, and that money will arrive in the sales of Dani Alves and Alexis Sanchez.
Pedro, won't be sold, unless someone wants to pay crazy money for him, and that unlikely.
