Carlsberg don't do injuries.

But, if they did.

01 Dec 2015 04:35:37
They would be drink related. Black eyes, cut lips and general falling over injuries.

01 Dec 2015 11:27:30
If there was an injured 11 league we'd absolutely limp it every season.

{Ed025's Note - your not the only team to get injuries you know mate..

01 Dec 2015 11:50:01
Very true Ed but we do seem to get more long term injuries to the same players every season than other clubs.
I can't think of many teams where you can guarantee certain players will be out for aa minimum of 2 months per season without fail, Wilshere Rosicky Ox Walcott off the top of my head I can't remember playing a dozen consecutive games without aa long lay off.

{Ed025's Note - i hear the same thing on a regular basis from most clubs supporters G62, maybe its the pressure on players due to the squad not being good enough and not having the quality to rotate players as much as they would like?..

Very true Ed mate we all know Arsenal went into this season as with most others very short on quality cover, Ramsey shouldn't have player against Watford and Sanchez obviously shouldn't have played against Norwich but both did because of lack of quality cover for them.
Having said that Chelsea did win the league last season using the least amount of players plus with cup and CL games played more games than others so I'm not sure what the answer is if honest, modern day players do seem to be out more often and for much longer than 10 years ago, or is that my age again :- ( where the grass was greener and summers were warmer and you could eat a sandwich without feeling guilty about not checking its nutrient value first.

{Ed025's Note - it age mate.. :)

I'm hoping Stoke do us a favour.

30 Nov 2015 15:11:43
I'm hoping Chelsea do everyone a favour.

30 Nov 2015 20:12:26
Im hoping Mrs Dags does me a favour :-)

30 Nov 2015 21:16:17
You need a new aftershave mate and maybe a nice bottle of perfume for Mrs D to show her how much you care just so happens I'm doing some cracking ones at £5 a go in the run up to Christmas mate.
Oh and don't forget the baby Dags too, nothing says I love you more than a nice £5 bottle of smelly that looks smells and lasts like a £50 fragrance.

30 Nov 2015 21:28:37
G62,
I have a natural aroma, eau de Dags.

Irresistible to women, but kills any hedgehog within a 3 mile radius :-)

30 Nov 2015 21:58:34
Fuuny enough my natural odour has completely the opposite effect Dags which used to bother me but then I realised very few hedgehogs are that fussed about shoes, handbags and spending hours telling you about their day and after only 9 or 10 pints they ain't that ugly either and I've been with more than one 15 to 20 pint she-man in my time.

30 Nov 2015 22:21:21
:-) Ed hopefully I've never been drunk or if I have best I never know :-)

30 Nov 2015 23:23:46
I bought some aftershave using my credit card last week. Since than, there's been some dodgy transactions on it.
Think my cards been cologned.

30 Nov 2015 10:56:42
We need a very good transfer window, winger, dm and a forward all world class. we have the money! And we need Arsene to buy as soon as it opens not the last 3 days or our title hopes are done. we won't have a better chance than this year of winning it.

30 Nov 2015 12:28:36
Wash rinse repeat, we have been down this road before and we all know the outcome come may. 4th place trophy and lots to look forward too, because walcott is flying ox is playing well coq is showing promise caz is the best midfielder in the prem sancez and ozil are worldys with young bellarin and rene adelaide coming through. If we get two world class signings we can challenge. Sell the dead wood and we can chalenge all the top trophies. Do we, do we fiddle sticks.

30 Nov 2015 15:57:39
Will Arsene buy in January at all?
Need doesn't seem to come into it with Arsene.
It would be a very brave man who would truely bet his house on bringing in new playerrs this January, I'm not saying we won't but equally no one can say with any degree of certainty we will either no matter how obviously we should.

30 Nov 2015 20:21:52
It's like he can't see what everyone else can, either that or he hates being told.

30 Nov 2015 09:13:58
When we moved to the Emirates we all knew signings would be restricted short term to allow us to compete long term, we saw players leave for lots of money but had young players coming through so all was good.
Year after year we always seemed just 1 or 2 players short but our young players potential kept us going and full of optimism, them those younger players grew up and left and were replaced by another group of young players with potential and so it went on but the stadium needed paying for so all towed the line and even though frustrated stayed loyal to the best manager in our clubs history.
Around 2010/11 the club kept saying Arsene had money available if he wanted it but still we didn't buy players who would have made success much more likely, at the time we were told by the media Arsene was the fall guy because although the board had said there was money it wasn't true and his hands were still tied financially behind the scenes.
2013/14 we are flying high top of the league at the half way stage but we only have one striker an over worked knacked Olly Giroud but its January so we can buy a striker but Arsene didn't want to so we carried on as we were and fell to bits as our no striker or DM strategy came apart in humiliating style at Liverpool then Chelsea and we struggled to finish 4th.
Summer 14/15 the club tell everyone no more spending restrictions we can buy anyone we want but still we go into the season with 2 CBs one of which is injured and no DM after years of being exposed through our soft middle time and again.
At this point many of which I'm one became Arsene out simply because he had lost touch with the modern game and seemed more interested in financial achievements than football ones.
Although I very much want this to be Arsenes last season in charge of Arsenal football club I desperately hope things can end on a good note between fans and manager dispite probably both feeling let down to some degree by the other along the way.
I hope Arsene announces soon that this will be his final season with us and each and every one of us can get behind him 100% and no matter where we finish up in the table we can all show out appreciation of what Arsene achieved in the first years with us all the trophies sexy sexy football and super start players and all.

{Ed025's Note - good read that G62, and very fair mate..

30 Nov 2015 21:29:06
Good post G62.

30 Nov 2015 01:29:47
It's coming up to the most magical time of the year again, the time where everyone posts their wish lists of players we'd like to see come in during the January transfer window. Hit me.

30 Nov 2015 02:29:38
Stones, carvallho, nolito, benzema. So santa do your bit buddy.

30 Nov 2015 07:32:13
Carvalho and Riyad Mahrez.

30 Nov 2015 09:43:45
I would pay 50 million for stones 100 percent.

30 Nov 2015 10:34:16
stones 50 million.13 yrs we will get out of him. going to be the no.1 centre half in england. new rio . r brady quality left back/midfield. corners and passing going forward and good at doing the dirty work. challenge monreal, gibbs not up to it and injury prone 16m. bender to help and challenge le coq or play alongside him against the top sides, international and champion lge experince.26yrs. over 6ft. tough in the tackle. say 20 m. then giroud replacement santa surpise. higuin natural finisher, half a chance . bang back of the net. will offer more movement than giroud and he doesn't run like there a parachute stuck to his back.58 m will seal the deal. i would believe all this, only when i was 10 i found all my xmas presents under the parents bed a month before xmas.

30 Nov 2015 13:57:42
I think we need two central midfielders rather than one, both of whom could play a slightly more physical game, albeit with the ususal expected Arsenal quality. In that respect would probably say Bender and Carvahlo. Icing on the cake would be a Griezman or Reus. I know we need a CF, but i don't think there is much out there at the moment. I was a fan of Benzema, but the more you hear of him in the press i think a large "do not touch sign" is hanging around his neck.
