Nope, just a hunch. But honestly the testing is ridiculously poor. It is incredibly easy to take PED's in football and get away with it.
I fear for us.....Can't see how we will cope with these injuries, we already can't, but with more key players out adding to other key players already out, it's not going to be pretty over the next few weeks and month.
Also Giroud is just at times god awful. Even though Walcott is hardly a world class CF, his pace made us a far better team going forward, it gave us the option of the counter attack, and it also just stretched the defensive line of the opposition allowing more space for Cazorla,Ozil and Sanchez, problem is we simply can't rely on Waloctt because he is another injury prone player in our squad, to make matters worse, we lost him a ****ing capital one cup game.
To be fair, Giroud had very little service today. Usually Monreal and Bellerin provide good crosses for him to get on the end of, but was very little for him to get on the end of today.
Wenger has given a few indications in interviews over the years. “When you have a doping control at Uefa, they do not take blood, they take only urine. I have asked many times (at Uefa meetings) in Geneva (for that to be changed).” “Uefa is ready to do it, but it poses some ethical problems because everyone has to accept that they will check the blood and not everone is is ready for that.” .. quite telling I would say. If we were. I am also pretty sure our injury list would be considerably smaller. Analbolics or synthetic testosterone are easy to get hold of in this day and age. 'Testosterone is a hormone that boosts muscle growth and tissue repair by signaling the target cell to activate an increase in the protein synthesis of messenger RNA, thus changing the expression of the gene. Protein synthesis is the building block of a majority of systems in the body. Increase it and you increase most biological processes of the body. Especially the repairing of damaged tissue'. Then there is EPO and various growth hormones that can also be used to improve performance, muscle development and injury recovery.
This is what made our decision of not buying any out field players even more perplexing. It was a mighty risk that Wenger took and now its coming home to roost. Some players are more injury prone than others, and every Arsenal fan knows the usual suspects (highlighted in your post). But for the manager to actually rely on these players who have a sketchy injury record is stubborn beyond words. Its so bloody frustrating!
Oh and this was disgraceful from that Norwich clogger, Sanchez could have been seriously injured just like Debuchy last season, he was already off the pitch, there was no need to even touch him. ****ing joke.
The idea that " most clubs" are using banned drugs while only Arsenal are playing fair is a joke imo. Your defender was limping for about a minute before he went down ... he looked like he pulled muscles in his side from over stretching which is bad luck...the stupid bit was him continuing when he was obviously struggling. Sanchez was a gamble that has gone wrong. It was always going go wrong at some point as he has played tournament football for the past 2 summers so has not had a proper break. Most clubs can point to a string of injured players.....Chadli has been out for 5 weeks, Bentaleb since early September, Son missed 6 weeks, Mason missed 5 weeks (and got re injured today), Dembele missed a month or so and Njie, Eriksen, Lamela, Rose and Lloris have also all missed matches through injury. Most clubs could produce a similar list (I would guess) but the problem for Arsenal is they didn't buy any outfield players in the summer. It was a reckless gamble that is currently hurting your results. I can not understand how you did not at least try to by Schneiderlin for example. Your lack of a squad is what is hurting you...with another striker, another DM and CB you could have coped far better with the injuries imo
Absolutely ****ing moronic. He should have been red carded for that. Dangerous and intending to hurt a player. Hopefully the FA will ban the ****.
What did people make of Carzola's dive? Hate players doing that so was glad he was carded for it but it's bit of a joke that the Norwich bloke only got a yellow for a potentially dangerous action when Carzola got the same for cheating. Cant see him getting a retrospective red tbh but he would deserve it if the fa charged him.
Nothing wrong with the decision to card Cazorla for diving however the gamemanship shown by the Norwich players is something else, akin only to Stoke City when they play us. Violent conduct IMO. We have a past history with them as well.
Didn't know that...I was out of the room at the time...as he wasn't booked maybe there is more of a chance of retrospective action
How do you know? For all you know we might be abusing steroids and that if we weren't our injury problems would be twice as bad. You assumption is ludicrous and based on nothing whatsoever.
My assumption on this issue is at least based on a tangible theory. Rather than your 'It's all Wengers fault.. always' mantra you've been tirelessly spewing since you joined these forums.
