On this one Ferguson made me think of Dads Army
"I think you're entering the realms of fantasy here, Jones" Captain Mainwaring
Well that "dad" scored a lot of goals only last season...Originally Posted by Dedworth
I think 2011/12 was his best season. His injury record is a bit better than Owens though, over his Arsenal career he's managed to average 26 starts per season. Got this from an Arsenal blog
2004-05: Debut season cut short by and ankle injury in February after also spending time out with two sprained ankles (not at the same time).
2005-06: Suffered a knee injury, and two more ankle injuries. Arsenal fans are starting to realise why the Dutch fans refer to him as ‘glass ankles.’
2006-07: Just to mix things up a bit Robin suffered a hip injury followed by a metatarsal fracture then another knee injury before suffering a thigh muscle strain.
2007-08: Managed to make it January before injury set in and then suffered three thigh muscle strains in quick succession.
2008-09: An ankle injury started the season off followed by a hamstring injury and a couple of groin strains to end the season.
2009-10: A knee injury arrived in September followed by a sprained ankle. This was the season he tried to use horse placenta to cure what turned out to be torn ligaments and missed five months of the campaign only to return in April to feature in the last few games.
2010-11: Another early ankle injury suffered in August kept him out until November. He caught flu in February as well as pulling a hamstring and then injuring his knee.
2011-2012: Robin’s most injury-free season since he signed for Arsenal, he picked up the obligatory ankle injury in August then had an injury free run until he picked up a little groin strain in February.
I think United are recruiting extra staff for the sick bay

He's leaving a team that won nothing last season (and for the previous 6 despite his fabulous talent) for another who did exactly the same
but have the most successful manager ever, won more than any other team, and only came second on goal difference, while Chelsea well i dont need to tell you where they finished (again)He's leaving a team that won nothing last season (and for the previous 6 despite his fabulous talent) for another who did exactly the same
Its a new dawn its a new day....He's leaving a team that won nothing last season (and for the previous 6 despite his fabulous talent) for another who did exactly the same
A new season...
And again and again...but have the most successful manager ever, won more than any other team, and only came second on goal difference, while Chelsea well i dont need to tell you where they finished (again)
There's no prizes for coming 2nd and 3rd in the league or 15th & 16th in the ECL chaps
I think the Gooners are becoming a feeder club for the Mancs. Personally I hope he has the same impact as Berbatov.
I was reading that this is the first transfer from Arsenal to United since Viv Anderson, decades ago...
We will see. Back to square one, for all teams. Blank canvas again.There's no prizes for coming 2nd and 3rd in the league or 15th & 16th in the ECL chaps
But not the first to Manchester.I was reading that this is the first transfer from Arsenal to United since Viv Anderson, decades ago...
Fatman & Robin up front for United next season
True...
You wont be saying that when they both bang a brace in each at Chelsea this season...

RVP's personal treatment table starts it's journey to Old Trafford
well judging by van persie performance last season you should be putting £50m torres out of his misery
imagine how few goals torres would score if he was injured
To be honest, I have always admired Torres. You don't become a bad player overnight (or do you?). I have a feeling he may pay back his fees on the field this year........
