    I really hope we don't lose on Sunday... The confidence blow could be detrimental.

    At home and against the wall I hope we show some bottle and show we have grown as a team since that 8-2 defeat.

    Good read, but a little depressing. The Spurs way seems to be paying off at the moment

    So with all the injuries we have we're putting out a similar team to the team that was beat 8-2

    That's the sign of a manager who knows that we are in serious trouble but is so intent in backing the Board that he has lost sight of his managerial duties and has let the team go backwards. He does not think we will beat Utd and he is getting his excuses ready by blaming injuries and not bothering to try and fix our problems. Never in a million years would George Graham have stood for that kind of conduct.

    there a list of injured players(updated yesterday, apart from diaby he's retired now :D) & a video of the new medical centre at the training ground on the website link

    henry - test sat. & vermalen - looks short, maybe a test
    arteta & coquelin both out, should be ready for villa
    gibbs & sagna - 2/3 weeks,
    jenkinson & wilshere - both running, a few weeks
    santos - 2 months
    diaby - ?

    with everyone above out then i'd say the strongest team is the one that started against swansea, except rosicky replacing benayoun
    I'd take a draw now, can't afford to get beat

    Hopefully there are none of the usual setbacks. Vermaelen and Sagna in particular are badly missed. Arteta isnt as bad but still noticible. If we get Wilshere back for the run in that should be a big bonus as it would give Ramsey the kick up the arse he needs.

    Any word on Rosicky? I'd be very tempted to play him and Benayoun with Song in the middle on Sunday. Leave Ramsey on the bench.

    he's not listed as injured on the page i linked so he must be fit

    rosicky & benayoun can 'put it about a bit' when they want so mightn't be a bad option, as i think united could destroy that defence so winning it in the middle might be a bit more important than usual on sun. but i'd say he'll go with ramsey for a bit more 'creativity'

    they only conceded 6 at home this season in the league(10 games) though

    I had a dream last night that I was arguing with a mate whether we should play Bergkamp or Chamakh behind RVP against Utd.

    :( I miss him...

    Sounds like that "You've been Frimponged" sign is probably getting another run-out. :pac:

    EDIT: Got it the wrong way round, herp de derp!

    from bbc...

    1716: News on on-loan Wolves midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong, who you might remember was stretchered off after being accidentally kicked in the head at Molineux today. The Arsenal man has been taken to hospital with what are described as "serious facial injuries". Fingers crossed he makes a swift recovery.

    Looks like he's fractured a cheek bone and is out for 3 months... Even the players on loan can't avoid getting injured

    With Chelsea drawing 0-0 it really is a shame we're missing so many players. We'd be well clear if we had kept the likes of Wilshere and Sagna fit. The missing full backs have cost us a fair few points and the sooner they are back, the better.

    Lack of good cover is the cause. Nearly every team has a good first 11. Not having good cover is a managerial responsibility or a board one.

    We have some good cover, just they're injured too. You can't expect a team to have 3 high quality right and left backs. Central defence is well covered to but no one could have foresaw the kind of injuries we've got.

    Who is the good cover for RVP ?

    Obviously there's no cover for him but you said lack of good cover is the cause for us not being top 4 atm, RVP hasn't been injured, he's been banging them in, the cause of our failure to make top 4 by now is the number of injuries to our defence I would have said. Chamakh being rubbish didn't cause us to concede 3 to Swansea last week. We obviously do need a spare striker, I'd just disagree with the arguments some people make that we need to sign defenders.

    The only defender we needed was a short term solution, a loan like Henry but Martin Keown must have turned down the offer :pac: Now, Vermaelen, Gibbs and Sagna are all "expected" back in the next few weeks. Signing another defender on a full time basis would have been a waste of money in the long run.

    EDIT: Back to my point about Chelsea dropping points. Liverpool are 3-1 down with less than ten minutes to go. Even a draw tomorrow is now looking like a great result. A win would be amazing but unlikely.
