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.
Whilst I think Arteta is partly to blame for these injuries; because he played players who looked like they were on the 'edge' Especially those playing International games as well...
However, I think the majority of the blame lies with those Fuckers who are running football internationally (***)... They have now changed the Qualifying System for the World Cup, There will also be more games for the European Competitions... as good as the new Training Systems and means of Monitoring players are, they are 'human' well mostly except for Maguire who is a Walking Head and Vieira who is a Walking Cocktail Stick...
To expect them to keep playing at the Highest Levels of the game in some many Competitions is eventually going to take its toll.
(***) And all for the sake of making even more profit, I mean it's not as if they aren't riding the fucking Gravy Train already...Utter C.U.N.T.S
It's both obg. Utter *word censored* sir Gareth rewarding failure Southgate and Carley playing them in meaningless games and flogging them to shit in last 2 years and arteta not resting them when opportunity allowed and even bringing them on I'm dead games. Not to mention training killing them
Just heard about Havertz doing his Hamstring... Ohh! Fuckin' Great nothing ;like a Big, Strong, Fit Squad to get us to the end of the season is there!?
So what with him and Martinelli (also hamstring problems) It looks like we are going to HAVE TO endure that Fat Dwarf Sterling Waddling Around Like He's carrying a handbag
Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.
Kai Havertz set to miss rest of season through injury. Arsenal forward suffered torn hamstring during training at #AFC camp in Dubai. Unclear if 25yo Germany international will require surgery but focus is getting fit for 2025-26 campaign @TheAthleticFC
It's either the worst type of incompetence from Arsenteta.... but given his stubbornness who knows
Or the Krankies refused to give him the dough to invest in the squad, which would be criminal, but maybe they said you've had £800miliion, which is close to a 1billion dollars, you need to live with what you've wasted it on
Or we've got Wenger's medical and conditioning team back
The continual cycle of injuries goes back years and it seems like we have suffered more than most, yet we don't have a squad to cope

I have said all season that we should have rotated in the CL . We just don’t have the squad to compete in the newly enlarged version.
How many points do we need for the top 4 ?
Because even that will be touch and go now.
Ironic that Obi Martin left for his chance at United (who haven't to my knowledge even put him on the bench yet), yet he would now be in line for his big chance here!!!.
Our academy, aside from MLS and Nwaneri, is disappointing, not one decent prospect in attack?.
Really really poor planning and management from the club, now Saka will be rushed back endangering his recovery.
Crazy not to have bought anyone in January, not to mention the transfer windows before then.
3 attacking players left and no recognised central striker. Our available front 3 also have a combined height of about 11ft!
It obviously means we have no other options on the bench to either chase the game or rest players if needed.
I can see Tierney coming on left wing. Perhaps Calafiori up top as he seems to have a good finish on him!!

Lack of depth —> Increase in workload on existing players —->High Intensity training—-> Increase in muscular injuries —-> Limp to the finish line
