    ****e result, absolutely ****ing ****.

    Well done Arsenal. You've failed to beat two of the worst sides in the division in consecutive weeks. Really. That does take some doing.

    And to top it all off, we've got yet another two vital first team players injured in yet another pivotal month.

    Fun times <ok>

    Don't worry folks, we will get knocked into the Europa League next week, and then in 2 weeks we're going to drop more points to City, and more points to Southampton in 3 weeks, the bottle job is coming earlier than usual this season.

    Again just shows injuries are the clubs biggest problem.

    Sanchez has needed a rest for weeks - now he is injured. Was only a matter of time.

    Ramsey wasn't 100% fit.

    With Coquelin out we have to rely on a defensive midfielder who CANT DEFEND.(Flamini)
    We may as well just be more offensive and play OXO/Ramsey there instead.

    We can try every formula, nothing is going to work, we have too many key players out, the only way to go right now is down, ever since the injury crisis began, we've been on a downward trend, and there's no reason for that to change now that we lost 3 of our best players in 2 weeks. Also unfortunately, this manager doesn't strike me anymore as one able to motivate players when their back is against the wall, so that just compounds the problem.

    Injuries to a few first-team players or not, getting a measly 2 points from games against Spurs, West Brom and Norwich is terrible. Genuinely, it couldn't get much worse. Football is a squad game and ours is not good enough to compete for the league over 38 matches.

    The only saving grace is that we are still, miraculously and undeservedly, 2 points behind top spot. We've been horrendous this month, so we can count our lucky stars that we're still in with a shout (not that I think we will win it).

    Was funny though when a few on here tried to justify our lack of transfer activity saying how good our squad is, lol, I keep saying it, delusional.

    We're only 2 points behind City, doubt it will stay that way over the course of the next month, very much expect that gap to widen, we play City and Southampton next month, and we will lose one of those, and draw the other minimum. We will probably even bottle it next week and drop points at home to Sunderland.

    Nobody, there's nobody to ever blame at this club for some, its always bad luck, bad referees, or ISIS.

    I think we all know the answer to that one,its the one constant in the club.

    Liverpool and Spurs are quickly catching up with us, by the way. We'd better be looking behind us.

    What's more annoying is that this is the period we should have been taking advantage of our rivals struggles. This league is a joke and yet we can't capitalize.

    Wenger, mainly. Some of the players on that list are just injury prone like Wilshere, Walcott, Arteta and Rosicky. We have known that for ****ing years, hence Wenger is an utter moron for trusting these jokers and not replacing them, once these guys get injured, the rest of our players have to play way too many games and then they pick up injuries just like Sanchez did today. Sanchez should have been rested but because our injury prone jokers are always injured, we did not have any other option but to play him.

    It is absolutely the Clubs fault.

    Also we have changed physio and coaching staff but the one constant is Wenger. The guy is famous for demanding a high level of anaerobic fitness. My bet is the players are running/sprinting too much and not enough emphasis is is being placed on mobility/strength and recovery.

    Also I'm pretty sure most the EPL clubs are using anabolics (steroids) for at least injury repair/prevention.

    I'm also pretty sure we are not.

    You have no evidence for any of this.

    Playing OXO in the middle might be your worst idea, yet. He is ****ing awful on the ball at times and gives away the ball in dreadful posistions, not to mention the fact that off the ball he is a complete liability. Ramsey can be a great CM, but his ego is ridiculous and he loves his hollywood pass and charges up the field when he has to sit, if Wenger can control Ramsey's ego than him and Flamini are our best options, they both have plenty of energy and cover plenty of ground. But Wenger will stick with Cazorla in CM, so it's a pointless discussion.
