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.

If he did then Wenger should have used his usual caution - If not then it's another example of our shyte medical team....we'd be better of with Dr fuckin' Crippin.
He's another one of our success stories I'm afraid -
Danny Welbeck has already missed more games through injury for Arsenal in his 18th month spell at the club than he did for United for the entire 6 years he spent there.
Anyone surprised? I mean it's been almost an full year out with a bruised fucking knee
We have a manager who has training methods that are beyond pre-historic. Add to that the fact that our squad is so paper thin that every player ends up being flogged to death and it's no wonder we have so many crocked players. Wenger places his trust in these players coming back and staying fit, and wont change from that, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.
I just hope that whoever takes over from Clueless brings their own support staff and a New medical Team because ours are shyte - even falkirk gooner agrees on the latter !

He does have a pre-occupation with faecal and anus references, doesn't he..?

This season like many before, has boiled down to Arsene gambling on getting our players back from injury and going on a run !
In the past he has gambled and failed,this time who knows , history tells us he will fail as the players wont materialise untill we have blown it !
The ONLY difference this year is that there hasnt been a dominant team that has tekebn control , lets face it no-one has played like champions or looks like champions !

All the more reason to get someone in and give it our best shot.
We will only know the real truth about players returning from injury once the window closes. Until then we're going to be drip fed BS about so and so only being "2 weeks away".
The ministry for disinformation is going to be busy until then.......
44 points from 22 matches - about the usual for us then, but of course this season "is different, we are challenging"
lets start to face facts; we are only "challenging" and this season is only so far " a success" due to to all the other teams having poor seasons. It is not like we are any better suddenly. Not at all, in fact we are already SEVEN points worse off than the last time we "challenged" for the title, two seasons ago. Let us remember how that finished - we came 4th...
looking at our run in of tough away fixtures, and dont forget we have taken just 6 points from our last 6 away fixtures then I would write us off for the league already. the reality is that we are in a scrap for 4th alongside United and Leicester City. I can only hope that Man City put together a strong enough run to see off our increasingly noisy neighbours, Spurs.
this post may seem negative, but although we battled well for the draw yesterday, the quality required for a title winning side really doesnt seem there at the moment.

To really challenge for a title you have to go to Liverpool and Stoke and WIN
When Chelsea went to Man City they won that is the mark of Champions
it'll suddenly dawn on the akb's during feb and march when they realise why the rest of us haven't been violently wanking ourselves off over how this season has panned out. the points we have already dropped have put us in a pretty poor situation, we have yet to go to the shithole on their cup final day, old trafford, the etihad, and upton park. and we have the chavs, leicester, and our new bogey team southampton to visit us.
we have barcelona in the CL which will suck a lot of life out of us in two games we will likely lose, and we will end up getting to the semis in the FA Cup at least, so our fixture list will look scary as fuck by late march early april.
however if you give an akb the facts like this, they will remonstrate by reminding you that we won at city last season, that the season before that we won at the spuds, and we also knocked out the mancs out of the cup in 2015, oh and we beat barca in 2011 so "anything is possible". they just don't get it, we are a team that lost at home to the fucking hammers on the opening day, and got crucified on boxing day by a team that all the other top 4 hopefuls have routinely teabagged this season. yes anything is fucking possible isn't it

There is zero point in ever having a discussion with any AKB's as most of them have the same mental capacity(or lack of) as water bottle Ty, and the ones that don't, keep burying their heads in the sand. I've said it before, but for those of us that want a change in attitude from silent Stan, are being undermined by a section of our fan-base who have watched continuous humiliations and capitulations under Wenger, yet will still think Wenger is a god. If I was Kroenke or Gazidis, I would see no reason to change anything when our fans seem delighted with maintaining the Status Quo.
still 100% against
