RupertCommunicator Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm sure bacon face has a really strict regime at manure. Hence why shrek is constantly photographed on the piss/smoking/eating chicken nuggets on holiday and Rio was always caning the drugs. Yeah, real strict...

Guest je85 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Arsenal have had more injuries than anybody this season (fact) and it's just pure luck, nothing more. Also have more possession than most team, increasing the likelihood of being tackled. It's not the medical staff that are the problem, is the threadbare squad. Not really threadbare to be fair, it's the biggest squad we've had for a while! Sorry, the second statement is regarding Newcastle not Arsenal.

Cunning_Linguist Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I must admit I have always been sceptical of the medical team because we always seemed Blighted by injuries. Maybe the fact that When Andy Carroll was with us they said heMAYhave been ready for our next game when in fact it has been another 4 /5 weeks. Bit harsh calling the med team incompetent though.

Stu Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Punk77 - do you even know who is on our current "medical team"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Steven Carr departed NUFC for retirement after the medical staff totally fucked up his treatment and recovery. I doubt he was the only one. Only last few seasons did Gonzales say the treatment he recieved made a 6/8 week injury a season out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 you can't blame alcohol for Barton picking up an injury, he's tea total! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Does anyone actually know anything about the medical team? Like who they are, how long they've been here etc? I only know about Derek Wright, but surely the guy must be about 70 by now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We weren't plagued or blighted by injuries under Hughton. We've picked up a lot more strains recently. Not obsessed with bigging him up, but seeing as I don't think the medical team has changed since the switch I don't see why it should now be slagged.

Disco Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We weren't plagued or blighted by injuries under Hughton. We've picked up a lot more strains recently. Not obsessed with bigging him up, but seeing as I don't think the medical team has changed since the switch I don't see why it should now be slagged. Mentioned this a while back. The project is going to have to make sure his training & warm up schedules and routines are spot on. We've picked up a few more general short term injuries since he took charge and with our squad now even weaker than before we can't afford to have players picked up strains and th like. Particular Shola and Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We only have 6 injuries according to the physioroom table - one of those is Ben Arfa's freak broken leg, one is Shola's freak broken face and 2 were injured when we signed them. It's hardly a crisis, I don't understand what this thread is about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 No where near the horror days of Roeder. We had 13 first team players out at one point, IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yes they are. I mean why isn't everyone fit?! I mean, there is literally no other club in the world where players get injured. END THEM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I think our squad being so thin makes injuries worse. We should have adequate cover for the likes of Barton or our centre forwards when they get injured. When we don't have cover it makes the injuries look like a crisis because we are relying on players who are not good enough or who are playing out of position. The amount of players we have out right now is probably normal or at least close to it for this time in the season. Lets remember what our injuries used to be like, we were also top of the Physio Room table, so this right now is nothing really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It does feel like we have more than our fair share. But suppose every set of fans feel that way, guess we signed alot of crocks in the past. I've felt that we have more problems than we should and questioned the clubs backroom staff but then look at the players we've signed/sold. Dyer - perpetually crocked, sold breaks leg on debut. Owen - Perpetually crocked - signed - perpetually crocked. Woodgate - dito Some players struggle with injury throughout their career and we've had our fair share.

Suppose the Gods decide eh? If you're into that, aye. If not, fate/luck. Agreed. Arseplayers have been prone to injuries due to their speedy game. That cause the opponent to misjudge the tackles. When Nolan was in his prime in Bolton, he was slimmer. I remembered him running WITH the ball (imagine that now) for many yards before hammering it into the net. If Carroll didn't receive lessons regarding the effects of alcohol and Nolan hasn't been told that he maybe need to lose some weight..Isn't that negligence or incompetence by the medical staff?
