This is one of the great myths of our season. Really this should read that we have coped well with our injuries due to our impressive squad depth.

Yes we haven't had ridiculous injuries to United level - but nor has anyone bar United. Of our first choice CM pairing from last season, Mason has spent the majority of the season injured whilst Bentaleb had one bad match to start the season, was left out for two matches then got a horrible injury to keep him out for two months just after a great performance against Everton. Our replacements performing well and establishing themselves as first choice is in itself massively impressive and a credit to us. Eriksen missed about 6-8 weeks injured near the start of the season. 18m big summer signing Son was ruled out for two months after just a few weeks with us. Vertonghen missed over two months. Dembélé too has had a number of spells of missing 2-3 matches in succession injured.

It would be great if everyone stopped pedalling the fallacy that we've been fortunate with injuries. We haven't - we've just coped incredibly well with the injuries we've had. There's a very significant difference.

They've been out so long you've forgotten Njie & Pritchard.

Claude has it right, the fans have been shit there all season, playing in an atmosphere like that definately has a detrimental affect on the team. The entire fan base feel like they are entitled to success....wankers

I like Claude, seems a decent spud, normal guy going about his thing, says it how it is at times.

They really are self entitled wankers. Think they have a God given right to finish above us every season.

If Wenger does leave I hope they revert to the dull, boring load of cheats they used to be before most of those morons on social media were even born.

" can just picture it now; we beat City to secure 4th place, followed by a dressing room full of celebration and selfies, Alexis and Özil think 'what the **** am I doing here', and end up leaving in the summer.

This season has killed my soul."


That's my favourite because it's probably true.

If Ozil leaves they are so fucked. He is the only reason they've been slightly relevant this season
