    Why is that bullshit?.. Like I said it's just a theory.

    Look here are the facts..

    1. There are NO mandatory blood tests in our sport.
    2. A recent UEFA investigation found that around 7.7% of players who had scheduled urine tests appeared to have elevated testerstone levels. (bare in mind these test where scheduled - therefore easy to cyclical off before the test or use an IV to mess up the results.) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...tballers-face-suspicion-of-steroid-abuse.html
    3.The World Anti-Doping Agency's president, John Fahey argued that Premier League players are tested too infrequently for EPO, the prime performance-enhancing drug injected into the bloodstream, favoured by Armstrong and other cyclists and athletes. Fahey compared the regime operating in the Premier League unfavourably to the frequent testing now undergone by Major League Baseball players, saying pointedly: "Team sports like Baseball and Soccer players can go their entire career without being tested once."

    4. Wenger has been THE most outspoken manager on this issue. (You would assume he wouldn't be calling for regular blood testing if he had his players using anabolics/EPO etc.. or do you think he's just an evil genius using reverse physchology?)

    We are amongst the most injury ravaged sides seemingly every Season. (something you have been complaining about yourself) http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php
    You would assume if we were using PED's 1. our injuries would decrease considerably. 2. Our players would recovering from injuries quickly (which they don't) and 3. Our boss wouldn't be calling for stricter testing.

    I would just like to say under no circumstances am I saying 'all Clubs are doping except Arsenal'

    Whatever the case may be, nobody can deny we have a clear problem, something is not right with the way we are training and looking after our problems, as I said, when a pattern emerges, you know something is up, and it's not merely down to bad luck and awkward falls. We have lost 6 players during 5 games, doesn't take a genius to figure out that something is badly wrong here.

    I think if footballers left their handbags and high heels in the changing rooms...it would make a difference.

    The only manager who will ever win here is the one who can lift the "november curse"-It happens every year without fail.

    I agree with the above, I get so frustrated by us, hell even when we had the Invincibles season I was hugely frustrated at the amount of teams we allowed to snatch draws, or how we crept by some of the teams we should have played off the park. We have been so close to winning the league on so many occasions, and then we do something stupid, or don't strengthen enough and then fall away. And we always seem to be 2-3 players away from greatness, it is infuriating!

    I'm too long in the tooth to be frustrated by Arsenal.If you didn't want to be frustrated by a football club you should have chosen someone else to support <laugh>

    I don't know, I could have supported my home town team of Llanelli Town FC, but talk of frustrations - now the FAW has relegated them to parks level football from being one of the best teams in the Welsh Prem! They now have a better stadium than most clubs in the Welsh Prem but unable to play anything above the level of Carmarthenshire/West Wales pub league level games. Now that is hugely more frustrating than Arsenal just missing out on (name your cup)!
