Id say only Arsenal have had similar bad luck with injuries in recent years.

If you look at the injuries we get they happen in match (Coleman for example), how can these be blamed on Moyes's training?
I blame pulled muscles on the fact players don't warm up properly, and most other injuries are a result of nasty tackles in match. If we were getting players injured in training then fair enough, but we aren't, so it can't be justifiable to blame Moyes.
Obviously some injuries will be down to sheer bad luck.
However Jags', Yakubu's and Arteta's long-term injuries were all innocuous. They all just pulled up mid-game.

I've quoted the stats.
I'll locate some stats for the period you're indicating also.
I can tell you that over the three years you'll see, when it comes to injuries we're even MORE average than we were average in the above lid.
Damon why 06/07?
I was talking more about the past 2 or 3 seasons, when Yak, Jags and Arteta all had long term injuries.
Oh and for the record I'm not saying this is even the case, I was just defending the original guy who said it. I thought it merited more than an instant dismissal, as it's something I've pondered before.
I wasnt going to mention it but I hate being tricked into looking at bar charts. Damon if you find the time please find the graph/bar or pie chart that best proves that Arsenal are ready to financially implode.
That's because players don't warm up properly pre-match, it's the same all around the country. These injuries never seemed to happen years ago.
I've looked into it closely. As I always do.
And as I said above I'll get more stats to back up the points too.
But you can't deny. The above shows that Moyes is not a cause otherwise that would consistently stand out.
Oh and before you say anything about Steve Round, he didn't join Newcastle until after the 2006/2007 season (where he was with England)
Its actually because the average muscle mass of the players has increased from the 80's onward - they think.
Well for consistency we need more than one of his nine seasons in charge.
I will await your statistics. Which will probably prove you right, like....
Off topic and irrelevant.
And Damo W responded for me anyway. "POTENTIAL"
