Saddest thing is a) if he never wears the Arsenal shirt again and b) he won't be able to lift the trophies as captain should we pull off a miracle.

One plus is it might stop him wanting to leave in the summer - would definitely be unfinished business to end it this way.
If we win the league or CL he will surely be there to lift the trophy wont he?

I meant more symbolically not being able to lift it having won said trophy in that game...wearing a suit ain't quite the same...

When you consider the double side of 71 played something like 70 games with a squad of 14 - waste high crunching tackles etc,. Why does the modern day football suffer breaks and fractures so frequently from innocuous challenges? Aren't today's footballers more healthy, using advanced training methods backed by science yet they're injured far more often.

Good post ! That '71 double side were made of steel. I saw one of them last night - Bob Wilson himself, no less.

If it's any consolation BT Cesc won't go in the summer but next year will be his last if we are empty handed - again

So that's a midfield of Nasri, Song and Diaby..?
I guess Rosicky will replace him on the wings and Arshavin will take the other spot.

Funny... we have the making of a great 4 4 2 now.

Walcott and Rosicky on the wings, Song and Nasri in the middle, Arshavin + Bendtner/RVP up front. Everyone in their favored positions! Therefore it won't happen

Does anyone else feel that the more injuries we have, the higher the odds are staked against us the better our chances are? I just have a feeling that something amazing may happen on Tuesday. Backs to the wall, doing it for Cesc, the team rallying, the belief that the last 20 minutes will have give the team....

Maybe RedAction could make a banner "DO IT FOR" with a vecro strip after the words and add different players names at different times of the game

That is as good a post as I've read on this place in months.

Diaby and Nasri, step up and buy your place in Arsenal's history!

We need leaders now, more than ever. Clichy, Campbell, Vermealan, Nasri, and Song are my candidates. That may not be enough, but we can do something this season.

No more silly mistakes, no more wasting chances, no more trying to score in stoppage time when were only 1 up, no more idiotic goals on the counter (AKA, when it's 0-0 thirty minutes in the match, doesn't mean we have to attack with 9 players).

If we are to win anything, we have to treat every game with the utmost respect, starting with Wolves.

I hope the players step up and get their head in the right place. If they do, this injury can be the best thing that happened to them.

no mate, they'll do it with a digital LCD screen that'll change what's after the "DO IT FOR" every 5 seconds. however, the board will realize it's a good way of making money and most of the time it will show "DO IT FOR EMIRATES" or "DO IT FOR NIKE"

i'm sorry mate, but diaby doesn't look smart enough to buy a hot dog, let alone a place in arsenal's history
