Apart from your massive stadium debt.

Aye but we've sold off the old stadium to be developed as flats + we had a training ground that we're also selling off for flats - both sites will provide us big incomes in future

TFF, arsenal have one of the best physio's around

Bollocks. If he was half decent then the players wouldn't be getting injured.

Think you're being harsh on Gary Lewin. He has been our physio and England's as well, for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure why we suffer so many injuries now. It could just be bad luck, rushing players back too early, or we've speculated on here that it might be a problem with our training ground and the surface the players train on, but I don't think Lewin can be blamed for these problems.

I think Arsene spends a great deal of time perfecting his backroom staff. Gary Lewin is certainly a very good Physio and we also have some of the best fitness experts in Europe like Gary Lewin.

I don't think you can get away from the fact we do pick up a lot of muscular injuries during training sessions. No one can put there finger on exactly how this always happens. I have to say it was very dissapointing to hear how Gallas' injury was setback time after time. That was poor management.

It's either that, or bad management. Injury crisis don't just occur, they are caused. Not enough rotation, poor physios....

Nothing to do with simple bad luck then?

Owen vs. Sweden. Joe Cole vs. MLS All Stars. Drogba vs. Middlesbrough. Smith vs. Liverpool. Beckham vs. Portugal.

I can keep going.

All brought on because the physios and co haven't done their jobs properly. Or in some extreme cases bad luck. But an injury crisis is never down to just bad luck.

Owen vs Tottenham aswell - he went in for a normal 50/50 with Paul Robinson and came out with a broken metatarsal.
