Per got injured July 22

Arsenal needed a CB even before that.

I'm done with the excuses.

Oh and Arsene using Ramsey as a reason not to play players too soon. Forget the fact the dude has had hamstring problems for years now.

Plus you have to know several key players would be playing for country all summer and you don't prepare for it.

Not asking to spend 100 million pounds, just get some competent players so you don't have to overwork them.

Ramsey plays an entire tournament after a rough premier league season and does just fine, then does his hammy in the first game back with the arse

It's because I picked him for my injury-themed fantasy team. Sorry guys...

But that was a, see I told you so moment for the media and fans and Wenger is just in is own world. Gets me teetering on the just frick off already sentiment.

I think Wenger is secretly content with our annual avalanche of injuries ... It's a built-in excuse for not winning the league, but prompting, "Oh, what a great coaching job--finishing top-four with all the injuries!"

I honestly have no idea what his problem is. Saying the same things as last year, bunch of straw man arguments to justify his stubbornness. It's getting beyond frustrating

The problem is that his training methods apparently put our players at risk for injury.

That has been mentioned by several sources. They say Wenger's training methods are severely outdated.

Probably by about 20 years. That said, I would expect more former players to come out and say something about it.

Anyone have an idea what these methods might be?

I can't imagine his methods being that risky, although the Arsenal injury track record shows otherwise.

I mean, what could they be doing?

I normally look down on the unnuanced posts by the semi-literates on the Arsenal Facebook page and on the comment sections of the brit papers.

But I have to ape them and holler:

WENGER OUT!!!

It's time to put the old mule out to pasture. Arsenal has literally become a joke of a club.

When I think about Arsenal I think about missed opportunities and a front office that is determined to frustrate their fans as much as humanly possible. Arsenal is a club that is very much ok with the status quo. When we miss out on champions league this year maybe that changes but I doubt it.

I seriously wonder how long it takes Ozil and Sanchez to say "f.uck this" and peace on out to a club with actual ambition of winning the champions league or at least a league title. I wouldn't be surprised to see them both leave at the end of this year.

I honestly would be shocked if they both don't leave next year. If nothing changes, they are gone.

Neither has signed an extension and they both have 2 years remaining. If we don't show ambition this year both will leave and we will have to take a cut price for them because they will both be in their last year.

Arsene uses the boot-camp method of training. He has been compared to a Marine drill sergeant. This gets the players fit quickly but breaks their bodies down leaving them prone to injury. Virtually no other team in the EPL uses this training method anymore.

We all knew he wasn't coming here, but Mahrez has signed a new deal with Leicester.
