Some people might try and defend them citing things like mental pressure/fatigue but let me suggest that they try working 60 hour weeks trying to feed their families and keep their homes and keep their heads above water and then they might appreciate what mental pressure really is
If a player is in need of a rest then let him skip training for a few days but tiredness should not be used as a defence for poor performances
Whilst I agree with your sentiments augie, especially as I also view the vast majority of modern players as soft pampered spoilt ladybitches for the most part, your argument misses the one key point; pressure and stress and mental fatigue are subjective problems and are entirely self generated, relevant to their individual situations, needs, desires and ambitions etc. How stressed and pressured you are is totally subjective to your perspective. These players (whilst being soft bitches) are mostly Alpha type personalities, driven to win, succeed, to be the best, so their feelings of stress and pressure are as legit as yours or mine, relevant to our situations and daily pressures.
And yes, that is probably the gayest thing I've ever written on here.
Oh, I don't know about that sweetie
Yep - I'll pitch them, you catch them. Just like back in prison huh Lefty?
Or should I say "Mrs DB10"?
A Dublin scumbag spending time in prison.......who would have guessed it ?

Wow, good to see "Mrs Hlebby" is still a whining bitch!

If I remember rightly it was you dropping the soap
And if I remember rightly Big Bubba from Cell Block D used you as a piece of soap!
on Ramsey... We have had to defer his comeback to full training a little so he is not available. He is having difficulties in the final stages of his rehab. It looks to be short-term.

As I said from the moment he was injured, we will not see him again until next season. And if we do? It'll be a 10 minute cameo and then off injured for 18 months. Our medical team are pure gash. Pure. Gash.

What in under fuck does that actually mean?? Was he puling on his socks?? tying up his bootlaces?? walking on to the colney training ground??? What?????????
Last week he was almost available for the cup match, now he is back in fucking rehab.
Tell us the truth you lying old bastard
played until he breaks, can't be rested because the squad is wafer thin; the replacements will mean dropped points.
Season after Season , different players but it's the same old story. Arsene too old and too comfortable to shake up this area of Arsenal FC.
We get a system which apparently flags players who are precariously close to injury, but we cannot do anything about it because the facking squads too thin.

Hmm... has Abou ever been fit for a season?
Speaking of Abou-the-great... when is his testimonial?

January 2016 my friend.....less than 2 years to wait. His contract runs till June 2015, so when he rises from the bench next season and There's Only One offers him a new deal, we'll all be able to celebrate that day

They won't risk losing him. He'll be offered a new contract then so after, he'll twist his spine as he leaves Highbury House
To which Wenger will say "arr, we couldn't have predicted this... we will honour his new contract"
