    Games that Alonso & Torres will miss

    Just had a quick look on the official site and from what I can see Torres will miss the following games assuming he is only out for 3 weeks

    31 Oct, 2007 Cardiff City Carling Cup H 20:00 Y N Y -
    03 Nov, 2007 Blackburn Rovers Barclays Premier League A 17:15 Y N Y -
    06 Nov, 2007 Besiktas Champions League Group Phase H 19:45 Y N Y -
    10 Nov, 2007 Fulham Barclays Premier League H 17:15 Y N Y -

    Alonso on the other hand will miss the above and these assuming he is out for 6 weeks

    24 Nov, 2007 Newcastle United Barclays Premier League A 12:45 Y N Y -
    28 Nov, 2007 FC Porto Champions League Group Phase H 19:45 Y N Y -
    02 Dec, 2007 Bolton Wanderers Barclays Premier League H 15:00 Y N Y -
    08 Dec, 2007 Reading Barclays Premier League A 17:15 Y N Y -

    It could have been alot worse for Torres as he misses 2 league fixtures and the game against Besiktas (i dont think he would have played vs cardiff)

    Alonso's been unlucky and will miss the key game against Porto but he may be back for the Reading game and if not 3 days later we are away at Marseille.

    Sorry to bring the bad news...

    Devastating injuries for us

    We desperately need Crouch, Lucas, Babel and Benayoun and even Leto to try and soften the blow

      What we've learnt through these injuries clearly is that there are some players in the team who's absence we cannot cover. call it too much reliance on them, call it weak squad whatever, but it is clear there are certain players we cannot afford to do without.

      The only solace I'm getting from this is that missed games means these players will be fgit for the end of the season and that Rafa's rotation/resting has been done for him and they'll play every game when fit.

        With every injury that we have rafa has one less option for rotation. There's no way to dress this as its a massive blow to us. Im not sure that we will be able to qualify for the champions league as it was very difficult before now it seems impossible.

          I think the CL is a write off now. Not impossible as I'd expect us to win the two upcoming home fixtures and then hopefully we'd have both Xabi and Nando back for the key game in Marseille. But if we make it through it is a massive bonus.

          I just hope we don't end up in that ****ty UEFA Cup.

            Dirty Arsenal.

            Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                  Were you at the game, Kendo? Funny, no-one's mentioned it.

                    I know injuries happen to all sides; but why couldn't our **** players get injured?

                      Because Arsenal weren't targetting them? The dirty cheats.

                        I have to say that watching the match in a pub in Camden surrounded by Arsenal fans I was 'forced' into a lot of swearing myself. They were a deeply irritating bunch - they did provide me with one good laugh though when they attacked Mascherano as 'a dirty foreign *******'.

If half the players are injured, then we'll have a settled team for a while.Im not sure that we will be able to qualify for the champions league as it was very difficult before now it seems impossible.I think its one game at a time. I'd expect to beat Besiktas anyway. We'll have all except Pennant and Alonso for Porto - again I expect to win. Then we'll have the big game at Marseille (and while its a little embarrassing to be hoping for this, they may already have qualified and may be taking it a little easier).
                          I'm playing all the right notes. Not necessarily in the right order. I'll give you that, sunshine.

                            Mascha made me laugh, got a yellow for a fairly dirty challenge then walked of smirking
                            We come not to play.

                              From where I was sitting in the Kop, this was the dirtiest Arsenal team since the days of their famous back four.

                              That, by the way, is a compliment to them.
                              The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
