Robin Van Persie and Tomas Rosizky are ALWAYS hurt, and this is coming from an Arsenal supporter.

Shay Given on the bench would be a nice addition as well.

Rooney is always good for a broken foot each year.

Bojinov needs to be the captain, this poor sod cant get a break and is out for 6 months after a warm up injury now! Owen a close second.
Rosicky for sure and where is sicnote, Darren ANderton to manage them!

A bit harsh on Gary Neville. He probably went a decade without a serious injury. Anyone over 30 can empathise with it all going a bit achy when you get to his age.

How did Dean Ashton not make this list?… if he makes contact with the ball during a game.. i typically rule him out for the next 2 games.. if he bags a goal then only 1 game..
