This is correct, however, I think although we should have brought in more players (and for some reason, Arsenal fans bizarrely disagree with me on that), the bigger issue is where these injuries are stemming from. We had 10 first team injuries tonight and it's only the start of November. We've brought in new staff over the past three years to help find ways of reducing the frequency of the injuries we get, but nothing seems to have changed. This is just as big - if not, more - of an issue than Wenger's reluctance to spend in the transfer market.

I have some sympathy with Wenger on this: I'd say 7 or 8 of your 'strongest Xi' were playing last night. The only really weak replacement was Campbell and he is an experienced international. You simply can't run a squad to cover 10 injuries to squad players. You'd need 30 in the squad to make up for the fact that Walcott, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ramsey were all out at once and still leave you with a strong alternative.
 
Bournemouth have totally outplayed Newcastle for 25 minutes.
Well on top, creating chances and defensively solid.
Mitrovic, Perez, goal. 1-0 to the Geordies.
Brutal on the home side.

I think that we should be keeping an eye on those two strikers, especially if Newcastle go down.
 
I love how the plastics are complaining on the BBC Football website, because United are complete ****e!
 
Leicester 15 points from safety.

West Ham 19 points from safety.

Saints 20 points from safety.
 
Chelsea have 15 minutes to save their season. You can't doubt their commitment. They look like a team desperately trying to salvage the season, while aware everything is against them. Not that we're sympathetic.

It's very funny! I think all other fans are enjoying Chelsea being **** very much!
 
I'm not so sure OS. Whilst it repulses me to defend chelsea, they definitely deserved more out of that game, and many a good team have gone to Stoke and lost in recent years.

I'd like to think that a hammering at WHL will be the final straw, thus concluding the full circle of revenge for all the ****e we've indirectly suffered as a result of Chelsea over the years. They without question started coming unhinged after that 5-3 pasting. Now it's time to apply the final nail to a very smug coffin.

It's not one result though. It's nearly every week and it's got to the point where no one at Chelsea can see where their next win is coming from, because everyone can beat them.
