Yeh, we don't get a break when it comes to injuries... (Pun? :P) He actually played on for the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game as well, what a hero :rock: . I'm not as distressed as I once would have been for his injury, Nasri has shown he can play the Cesc role in our team when he's needed. I'm more worried about the 2 CB's, Vermaelen is awesome but Gallas has a flimsy leg, Tweety is an idiot and Sol can only play one full game per week tops.

The thread is still Soccer though, it's upsetting me :sad: Thank you oh glorious moderators :bowdown:

Just read Arseblog and realised how bad our injuries have been this season:


The list is long and varied: Nasri, broken leg. Robin van Persie, ruptured ankle ligaments and badly strained gooch. Aaron Ramsey, broken leg. Theo Walcott, various. William Gallas, calf. Gael Clichy, back. Denilson, back. Abou Diaby, various. Eduardo, various. Carlos Vela, kidnapped by monkeys. Manuel Almunia, broken heart. Bendtner, 3 month groin problem. Gibbs, broken foot.

They have been ever changing in their consistency and we've been robbed of players at vital times. Now we get the news that Gallas has done his calf, again, and faces at least three weeks out. Andrei Arshavin has also done his calf and could well face at least that length of time out (his mother reckons he's out for the season!), while Cesc's season is over after it was revealed he'd cracked his fibula during Wednesday's game against Barcelona.

The official statement from the club suggests that it happened in the wake of the Carles Puyol tackle but there's speculation he went into the game with a broken leg. The challenge which left him hobbling at Birmingham seems much more likely to have done the damage, or at least weakened it considerably - and thank you to whichever clogging *beep* that was, by the way. Personally I think it was the way he hit the penalty that did for him in the end. The idea that a medical team as skilled as Arsenal's (let's face it, they get plenty of practice) would have missed a broken leg is not really credible

:P I don't know much about him but we could do with a good back-up CB for when Carra retires/gets too old and he'd be a long-term fix as well if we bother to play him.

That boy has been sensational for us this season, whenever Weir or Bougherra have been out. League, Cups, Champions League - it's all been water off a duck's back for him. Absolutely solid centre half when a great pass too. Hasn't played a bad game yet. We managed to get John Fleck tied up on a new contract last month, hopefully Wilson follows him. You should watch the Gers game in half an hour - no doubt he'll play a shocker and make all my talk sound stupid :P

Is he fast? We do lack some pace in defence.

:D Utd will kick off about Drogba being offside for the second goal but Macheda handled the ball into the net on Utd's goal and Chelski should've had a first half pen to.

He's no Usain Bolt, but he's definitely not been caught for pace in the SPL or Champs League yet.

Yeah upsetting. Still, could be worse, could be losing 3-0 to Swindon.

What a day. United lose, Tottenham lose. We're well in with a shot of 4th now :D

Shame that Wolves have just conceded a last minute goal, I have an angry Mum to deal with now.

Rangers 1 - 0 Hamilton

Very close game. Commentator seriously pissing me off throughout that game moaning about a disallowed Hamilton goal. Yes, McArthur was onside when he scored, but Joel Thomas was clearly offside and clearly challenging for the ball and active in play as the cross came in. Clear offside, simple decision, and a whiny commentator for the last 15 minutes <_<

Only 3 wins off clinching the league.

Well, the 2nd leg at Barca is on tonight and our preparations couldn't have been a bigger catastrophe. Injured at the moment we have: Cesc Fabregas, William Gallas, RvP, Alex Song, Arshavin, Ramsey and now even Sol Campbell. What [censored] horrendous luck.

That means it's likely we'll see a Center Half pairing of Tweety and Verm, it's enough to make you cry. 5 of the players I've listed as injured would be 100% nailed on starters tonight, bloody hopeless :swear:

True, true.

At least this way we'll never know who the best team actually is, for shame. :hubbahubba:

EDIT: Lineups: - We are in the shiz. In fact, this is all poised so beautifully for a Silvestre hat trick it isn't even funny.

Full lineups:

Almunia
Sagna
Vermaelen
Silvestre
Clichy
Denilson
Diaby
Nasri
Rosicky
Bendtner
Walcott
----

Valdes
Alves
Marquez
Milito
Abidal
Busquets
Xavi
Keita
Messi
Pedro
Bojan

Leeds 3 Hartlepool 1


Completely undeserved. The referee was abysmal and we completely outplayed you as we did at The Vic. The first goal shouldn't have counted because the free kick was for a ghost handball (i.e it was not handball), the second Becchio practicaly caught the ball in his hands and the third we should have had a blatant free-kick down the other end!

Dont worry about it that games long gone and things have evened themselves out over the past few months.

That Messi kid isn't half bad, is he? Wouldn't last a minute against Partick Thistle, mind. Maybe a bit lightweight to cut it in Scotland quite yet.
