Nothing meant by it but just seen a strange stat on sky. In this injury hit season we have used the third fewest different players of all the teams in the league, 21. Only swans and Leicester used less.

I don't think we get anymore injuries than other teams.

It's just that everybody on here are like moaning old ladies, except me :-)

We used to dags without a doubt or at least over a period of 5years we must be up there. Diaby rosicky wilshere helping us claim that crown.

This season though more acl injury's than ever before I think. Plus the rest.

Its not the amount injured players so much as the amount of times our same players get injured that makes Arsenal stand out so much, Jack Theo Ox you can set your calander by all 3 missing 25% to 50% of each and every season.
Plus of course because of the difference in quality of the first 12 and the squad players almost every injury is a very big loss for us.

I think it's a gunner thing to always feel like it's more than it is, other teams have arguabally bad luck if not worse but we always focus on our team.

{Ed033's Note - Pretty bizarre, moaning about being 2nd in the league with no team seemingly being able to pull away. Which means Arsenal has every chance of winning the Premier League at the moment.

Agree Ed,
I would have bit your hand off to be 2nd in league after 16 games, especially if you threw in that Chelsea (and possibly Utd) were out of the title race.

{Ed033's Note - In theory United might be out of the race now as it's likely that a number of the united players want Van gaal out as well as most of the fans.

I think all UTD fans want van Gaal out now.

The statistic you quote doesn't surprise and shows one of the reasons we suffer so many injuries. We went into the season with only 24 players, of which Wilshere, Welbeck and Rosicky have yet to play, reducing the squad to 21, plus a couple of youngsters. Of the 21, if you exclude the second keeper, it means that 20 players have played the vast majority of the matches. Arteta has also missed virtually all the matches. We now have 3 long term injuries and a couple of short term ones. We must make a couple of signings in the window.
