Injuries

[PowerSpurs]

I'm shamelessly copying a thread on the Arsenal board which quotes this article

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...4-injury-list.html/sport/foo...jury-list.html

It seem that over the past few seasons Arsenal and Spurs have suffered badly while Chelsea and City have come through unscathed.

Why?

 

[The RDBD]

Because said physio teams are ****e ??
I suspect that if over the last decade you took the teams who were in the PL for most of that time, and
did basic injury stats over the PL for each position in a starting XI (how often injured, average out time
etc) , that Spurs stats would be skewed to the right of the mean for nearly all of them.

We tend to pick up a fair amount of injuries in training, which doesn't paint our coaches in a particularly good light either.

 

[Spurlock]

Because our players cant get treatment due to Darren Anderton always occupying the ****ing physio's table.

Probably because if we had a physio like that Chav filly, all the players would be in there at the first sign of a niggle and get it sorted before it causes a problem.

The stats jibe with my feeling. It clearly indicates we and the Goons are stepping in it. My feeling for a while has been both teams don't have a working understanding of the word "overtraining" and believe that last drill, that extra bit of preparation, is worth more than rest for stressed muscles and connective tissue when it clearly isn't.
