As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

He's fucking the whole of a Surrey town?
No wonder he needs time off!
I figured some smartarse would post something like this.
I also thought said smartarse would be you.
Hlebby hacked my account, mate
To be fair, the joke was of such high quality that it could easily and understandably have been mistaken for being my work. Heck, even I initially thought that I'd written it!!
Fitness coach Verheijen seems to be the only person with balls to criticize Wenger publicly for his training methods. Even got Wenger to arrogantly shoot him down, as expected.
Within the space of 2 weeks the Arsenal players Ramsey, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain & Bellerin have picked up muscle injuries. Who's next?

Could Welbeck have been the answer if he was ever fit? Assuming he was ever coached properly? He had workrate and mobility and also had good games and goals for England on occasion (I know, but still). I know players aren't actually coached or taught anything by The Old Fraud, they are very much left to their own devices to figure it out for themselves, which with this generation it's the blind leading the blind unfortunately.
Really cant judge Campbell on such a few minutes of play least of all football intellegence- he wasnt able to play for us due to work permit problems till last season, much of which was spent at Villareal on loan , think your being unfair mate there- his goal showed more composure than many AFC players weve seen.
Afraid Welbeck isnt any answer other than "NO" AW is rumoured not to have wanted him, been pretty permacrocked and even when not he just didnt seem to have what we need at all. I like the guy especially for knocking out Manure, but dont honestly see focussing on Welbeck for the future is anything but worse for us that Giroud, who at least can get the ball in the net reasonably often
To be fair, I did say that just before Swansea game
There have been times he has failed to slow down the game in the dying minutes of games, keeping us under pressure.
He did take his goal well. But will he ever be played in his correct position - Striker - under TOF? It seems like he'll only ever play on the wing. Coming off the bench is almost pointless, as TOF only does subs at 70 minutes and much later.

Or maybe he will repeat again he trusts his medical staff although they have nothing to do with causing injuries. They only cure injuries.
Do players get injured because they are injury prone or do players become injury prone because of injury after injury due to overtraining?
Not quite sure about the overtraining bit cos all they appear to do is play 1/2 touch little plays with some light jogging ( maybe it's the jogging bit they need to reign in ? )
