interesting, so they only way you can make a response to someones post is to edit it ...
try making a response to the original without chaning it in future and youd never know you might actually surprise yourself and me and actually have something of value to say.

The point is gone way over your head...Im concerned about player fatigue that stretches over a couple of years and particularily the impact Wenger has on young players who's bodies are still developing. Its also connected to type of player Wenger now buys, players that are not physically dominant.

But lets keep it simple for your sake, theres no issue with Arsenal back room or injuries, nothing to see hear move along everythings rosy after all Arsene looks after everything.

Im living 7 years in the past, back when we had a team and a manager who knew how to win a trophy.

On the injuries we pick up i would definitely say a big contributor is passing a dangerous 50/50 ball backwards to a guy in a standing position but that's only my opinion.
I think there is a huge hint in what Wenger said today in 'getting over the rocky patch' financial wise and that Arsenal may well begin to buy get in some top class players in the coming years. Its frustrating to see other despicable clubs win trophies by means of having a rich benefactor but i'm glad that we haven't abandoned our admiral (if a bit too frugal) financial model.

The fact is that football is not played on a level field off the pitch and we have governing bodies full of self serving buffoons who are not interested in balance and equity but in the rich getting richer while the pigs still having their snouts in the trough.

Looking at that video reminds me why I get annoyed by the constant mediocrity of 4th and "competing". Sigh.

Any examples of this.

Southampton hit the post

Southampton playing well today by all accounts.

First half is over and it 0-0, another 45 mins like that and I'll be happy

Spurs are not playing well. Southampton are holding there own but let's see how spurs respond second half.

Is it a viable tactic for SOuthampton, that if they close down Bale, they close down the game? Where else will the threat come from?

Bale is 75% fit at the absolute most and has been rubbish the last 3 games, we have nothing to worry about imo, Spurs without Bale are a very very ordinary team. COYG

You had to jinx it didn't you!

Damn

WoollyRedHat

Ah the son of a bitch scored...

AdamD

1st shot on target. Really are a one man team

dvemail

haha, was always going to happen that.

.jacksparrow.

Some team for the late goals, they seem to be able to grab something when it looks over, maybe its not our year.

premierstone

Sorry lads my fault completely I take full responsibility

Better win.

HazDanz

Spurs are very ordinary the last few weeks. Chelsea will beat them.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Hopefully we can blitz QPR very early on from the off and let them give up rather then them holding out for a while and gaining confidence.

Harry will have QPR up for this to do his old pals a favour.
We have to have the right attitude for this game from the start and if we do we will win.
Some of these QPR lads will be in the shop window and trying hard to impress too. I'm going for a 3 -- 1 win with Walcott for first goal.

jester77

We should be aiming to improve our goal difference over Chelsea from this game, could be the difference at the end.

Please try and learn from my mistakes :eek:

That's how to start a match

We're due a high scoring match methinks.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Stupid Arteta being too quick and getting himself injured.

premierstone

Blitz you say?

Zing!

tayto lover

We need to keep piling on the pressure here. We are slacking off already and should be pressurizing their back four. Relax when you're 4 up.

Who is this Arzenal i'm hearing about on ESPN?

:D Please don't remind us of that.

Horrible match.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Looking a little too relaxed at the minute

Mickeroo

Dammit.

tayto lover

Why are they so reluctant to shoot from decent positions?
This sickens me as we should be out of sight with the amount of possession we have in front of their goal. Theo unlucky there.

AdamD

Rambo needs to shoot. Hes lost confidence in front of goal.

HazDanz

This game is like a friendly

tayto lover

I don't like the way this is going now. We need another soon as I think they'll score at some stage. We are giving the ball away too easily.

greendom

Wake up - looking really soporific out there atm

Sergio

yes we need to wake up a small bit and and be abit more clinical and put the game to bed otherwise it could be that were 1-0 up with 10mins to go and we get abit nervous and make a stupid mistake!

AdamD

Cazorla's anonymous on the left.

Get Sagna off the pitch, horrible to watch in attack.
