Stoke are pretty limited, but still have a decent home record. Whatever team we put out, we should really be beating them though because they shouldn't threaten us too much. A week's rest and maybe Ozil, Vermaelen and Gibbs back. We could have a defensive CRISIS if Monreal and Koscielny are still out and no-one returns though. Hope we start with high energy like yesterday rather than let them into the game and turn it into a slog.


Szczesny

Sagna
Mertesacker
Koscielny/Vermaelen
Gibbs/Monreal

Arteta
Wilshere
Rosicky/Cazorla

Oxlade
Giroud
Podolski


Prediction: 1-3 (Crouchinho, Podolski, Giroud, Mertesacker).

Come on Arsenal :scarf:.

A song for Ramsey:



You came off worse
You came off worsssseeee
You went in two footed
And you came off worse.


:music:

They also don't seem to realise that the longest serving manager in the League will likely have accumulated the most red cards by virtue of being there 14 years more than the next longest serving. But then they're not the only ones who are cretinous enough to point out such a nebulous fact.

Flams/Sagna/Verminator also available at LB .....it's not like there's anyone in the Stoke squad that would give even Jenks trouble down our left flank :threaten:

[Munchies]

---------------Ches------------------
Sagna-----Merts--------Kos--------Monreal

--------Flamini--------Wilshere-----------

Ox-------------Ozil------------Podolski

-------------Sanogo/Giroud---------------

I'd rather start Pods instead of Cazorla for this

[fakeyank]

Dont think Ozil should be near the squad yet. We played a fantastic game without him yesterday and if its without the 42 million quid man, then so be it!

[IBK]

Now Wenger's bitten the bullet he should allow Ozil a proper period to recharge rather than just making a gesture.

[Munchies]

I have a feeling Wenger will play him though. I'd rather Santi play too, and give him a longer rest but no way Wenger's leaving him out.

:doh:

They really are a bunch of inbred morons on there. Wenger has spent more time at his club than the rest of the other PL managers put together. And the next longest serving manager entire pyramid of English football, Paul Tisdale at Exeter City is still a decade behind Wenger.

Fucking idiots.

[Marc Overmars]

1-1

[fakeyank]

If its 1-1, then its :rose: to the title challenge

Cisc at his very best:

An absolutely diugusting ISS64 two-footer, followed by some megaWUMming towards Pulis. Fy far his greatest contribution in an Arsenal shirt.

[Marc Overmars]

That was brjlliant.

Cisc. :bow:

[AFC Leveller]

Ozil is Jot made for this kind of game (xet) and id leave him ouv. I'd play the same teah as Sat5rday, mcybe bring in the Ox for someone

Stoke fans :pal:

I'm not surprised they can't let phis go, tbf - the only reason anyone evdn takesany notice of Stoke City any moRe is because of their two "grudge-matches" a year against us (and even then, I'm not su2e anyone really gives much of a shit about the came at our place, which is pretty much a formality these days)? I guess they think if they should loud enough and long enough, people might remember they're still there...

[Özim]

When they had P5lis they were a0threat, now they have Hughes thgy're a walkover.

0-2

[I am invisible]

They took a few people by surprise and rufnled a fgw feathers in their first couplm of seasons in the Prem (nothing we haven't seen before from the likes of Bolton, Hull, etc), but it di$n't take long for everyone to suart getting wise to the

[Letters]

When they had Pulis they were a threat, now they have Hughes they're a walkover.

0-2
You say that but they've only lost 2 home games. Their away record is horrible but at home...

Drew with City
Beat Chelsea
Drew with Everton
Beat Utd (I know everyone is doing that...well, everyone but us <_<)

They've had a pretty good home record vs the top sides.

[Marc Overmars]

Hughes can turn any game into a shitfest just as easily as Pulis. Most of our results here have been draws so it's not really a place we thrive at. We can't afford many more slip ups and those freaks would love it if they derailed our challenge.

To draw with a team , beat a team or get beaten doesn't not depend on their result against other teams . Football is not mathematics to draw simple comparisons . Results depend on performances , attitudes , mindset , commitment and strategy adopted on the day .

Example :
We scored 5 goals against Cardiff ( in two games ) ( 3-0 & 2-0)
Cardiff beat Manchester City 3-2
City smashed Arsenal 6-3 .

Stoke beating Man U and Chelsea or drawing with City will not influence the outcome of the game against Arsenal even though some will state that it will give them confidence . It just doesn't work like that .

[Letters]

Fine, but they've only lost 2 league games at home this season. And they've had good results about other top sides.
Those facts are not irrelevant. Yes, every game is an individual occasion but form isn't irrelevant to it.

[AFC Leveller]

They lost to Liverpool and Norwich, right?

[Letters]

Think so.

Obviously you can't just cherry pick results and draw a conclusion but if there is a pattern of good results and a good overall home record then I don't think that can be dismissed as irrelevant.

[Özim]

Stoke's results in 2014:

Man City 1-0 Stoke
Stoke 1-1 Swansea
Southampton 2-2 Stoke
Stoke 2-1 Man Utd
Sunderland 1-0 Stoke
Chelsea 1-0 Stoke
Crystal Palace 1-0 Stoke
Stoke 3-5 Liverpool
Stoke 2-1 Leicester
Stoke 1-1 Everton


That's 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in 10 games, granted 2 wins and 2 draws came at home (though 1 win was against Leicester and the other against Man U), not exactly sh*t hot form, we should beat them IMO.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

-------------Sneezy-------------

Sagna---Merkyl----KOS----Nacho

------Arteta-------Wilshere------

OxO---------Rosicky------Cazorla

---------Olivier Giroud------------

They are the sort of mediocrity we should and need to sweep aside if we still want to ostensibly be challenging for the title....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're up against the tiki-taka masters.

[I am invisible]

Luckily we've already had our now-annual home defeat to Bayern in the CL, so I can only assume that the rest of this season will play out exactly like the rest of last season...

[Alpha]

Fine, but they've only lost 2 league games at home this season. And they've had good results about other top sides.
Those facts are not irrelevant. Yes, every game is an individual occasion but form isn't irrelevant to it.

Their misery is , despite their good home record , we are so deadly against average teams like them , home and away .
No chance for them.

Someone post this on oatmeal or whatever cave those mongs post in... I'd love to see them go beserk!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wow.

Before every match, you think, there is no way they can possibly outmong themselves this time.

Yet every match, they easily exceed themselves.

There must be some kind of 'special' Mongversity in that shithole that no-one else has heard of.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Found some rare footage of our team heading to Stoke for last year's game.

Hopefully they'll be a similar outcome.

[GP]

Someone post this on oatmeal or whatever cave those mongs post in... I'd love to see them go beserk!

It's already there, they're having a good laugh about it.

[GP]

They still think Ramsey's leg was broken before the challenge, btw.

I guess running around on a shattered leg is perfectly normal.

[selassie]

This won't be easy. Difficult to call at the moment, I think we can nick it but we'll need to play well.

Hurt like a bitch last time I tried it.

Had to come off at half time :(

Slice 'em and dice 'em

Ugly effing gits

[Munchies]

arsenal.com press conf

- Verm and Ozil back in the squad.
- Gibbs/Monreal are out.

Verm at LB then :coffee:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I should think so....

[I am invisible]

More likely Sagna at LB and Jenks at RB, I reckon.

Any word on Kos?

[fakeyank]

I'd rather not have Jenks on the field... dont really rate him yet. Verm at LB and Sagna at RB for me.

[GP]

Jenks is fine against filth like Stoke.

[WMUG]

Yeah, it's really about who's at CB to deal with the hoofs upfield than who's at full back to deal with the majestic wide play.

[Syn]

Yeah, it's really about who's at CB to deal with the hoofs upfield than who's at full back to deal with the majestic wide play.

harsh on odemwingy.

[AFC Leveller]

Verm at LB for me, he's more solid than Jenks and comes in handy for the inevitable crosses/set pieces/hoofs to Crouch..

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

More likely Sagna at LB and Jenks at RB, I reckon.

Any word on Kos?

Probably mate but I would prefer if Vermaelen just played. It means we don't risk the 1st and 2nd choice rb's at once too.....

[selassie]

Apparently Gibbs will be available for this according to the Guardian. Great news if true. I am really nervous about this game for some reason.

[pmakgreb]

Id go with Ches, Sagna, Kos, Mert, Gibbs (verm), Flam, Wilshere, Ox, Podolski, Giroud, Carzorla.

Good balance to that team flamini to protect the defence and jack to provide the link between defence and attack. Their defence is not the paciest so Ox will give them something to think about.

Ozil, Arteta, Rosciky, Gnarby, on the bench and can provide something different if needed.

We should have enough quality but this is their cup final and will be up for it more so than against any other team. It really depends on the arsenal that turn up but we should be fresh and if we play well we will win.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

We have won once away from home this year (although we have only played three away fixtures, compared to nine at the emirates)

They have lost only twice at home this season

Ozil is likely to play

Doesn't bode well to be honest

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yeah, Stoke are screwed.

[fakeyank]

Ozil should be a sub at most for this game. We played really well against Sunderland. I fear Vinegar will go the usual tried and failed route, and play Ozil to slow down our game.

:ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey is shit. He should be killed.

I mean Giroud is shit. He should be killed.

By which I mean Ozil is shit and should be killed.

Also Diaby can be dead there.

[Munchies]

Training:

Ozil will probably start then.

Just wish these fuckers would get relegated already.

Abit like what happened to Bolton, they fucked us over loads of times over the years and now they're in obscurity.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Rosicky, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud.

Absolute filth.

[Munchies]

Bentdner :rose:

good to see Pods start

[Master Splinter]

Gibbs and Podolski reunited on the left :bow:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Probably for the best to rest Ozil against those savages.

[JonasTC]

We need Flamini to handle those orcs, they're going to kill Wilshere and Arteta :s

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini is likely to fight fire with fire and get sent off tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Maestro]

Munchies????

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Poldi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam freekick, straight through to Ches.

any links please

Rosicky. :bow:

thanks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke booing our every touch. :lol:

[Penguin]

Adam :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Couple of corners from us, nothing comes of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walters offside.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski is having a mare.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is not of high quality, unsurprisingly.

[Master Splinter]

Poor from Cazorla.

[Penguin]

Great footwork from Cazorla to work some space for himself, but the shot flies well over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good move inside from Cazorla, shame about the curler.

[Master Splinter]

Doom Coat :(.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :haha:

[Penguin]

Wilshere :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous dummy from Wheelchair.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud header, doesn't really change direction of the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere. :doh:

Brick running again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Effort on target! :bow:

[Penguin]

Rosicky gives it away twice in a row :rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

Everyone is drunk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch goes for goal, only hits the side netting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi shoots, way off target.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam is a horrible scrote.

[Penguin]

Adam should have been booked for that.

[WMUG]

Gotta go across goal there, Pods.

[Penguin]

We are terrible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is dreadful.

[Penguin]

Adam stamps on Girouds leg. Still no booking..?! :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud nearly plays Wheelchair in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches saves from Whelan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla goes for goal, hits it straight at Begovic.

[Munchies]

Pods was free :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The cameramen had seen enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT, probably.

We had a tough midweek game though which might explain the lethargy, right?

[WMUG]

Orcs booing Giroud for daring to be clattered by one of their thugs.

[WMUG]

Rosicky was in FFS

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Scrappy and lethargic.

Not that I would give a fuck if we manage to win this 1 - 0. Positive thing is that our defence has looked good so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The ref made sure we didn't get a final attack. :lol:

Really is 0-0 HT now.

[Master Splinter]

Possibly the worst 45 I've witnessed this season.

Truly awful stuff.

[Munchies]

https://twitter.com/stokecity/status/439788432932765696
Pieters gets a yellow card for a foul on Giroud. Yes, it was a foul, but no reason why Giroud should be rolling around #SCFCvAFC

:haha:

[milla]

Giroud, what a lump of shit. Failed all his attempt to hold or trap the ball in the first half.

[GP]

Stoke end the half by blaring out Miley Cyrus. Says it all I'm afraid.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Possibly the worst 45 I've witnessed this season.

Truly awful stuff.

Liverpool or Southampton?

It's been bad but at least we haven't conceeded.

[milla]

Wilshere. :doh:

Brick running again.

Brick running is Jack main specialty :good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

TEG, I think MS means in terms of quality for any two teams in the league.

[AFC Leveller]

Please fucking win this.

[Transplanted Gooner]

Stoke end the half by blaring out Miley Cyrus. Says it all I'm afraid.

Stoke have more possession than us :lol:

us :pal:

We got a £42m player on the bench, can he make the difference? No :coffee:

[WMUG]

We just don't really do scoring in the first half. Haven't for a long time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Poldi probably needs to be hauled off soon, providing he doesn't up his performance of course.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nzonzi header, easy for Ches.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Ches.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski and Cazorla are playing for Stoke.

Now Szczesny is too. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla corner, easily claimed by Begovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch with the spectacular. :bow:

However wide.

[AFC Leveller]

Sounds like we'll need some pace of the bench to make things happen. Bring on Ox and Nabs please.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna booked. :rolleyes:

[Munchies]

phew

[Master Splinter]

Some changes please, WUMger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere only needed to lay it through to Bif, went for the complicated option and duly fucked it up.

[Özim]

Just got in, disappointing we're not ahead against them, how's it been going?

Who's been sh*t and who's been good?

[Munchies]

wilshere can't pass ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It has been going shit.

Also, no scores from other games please.

[Özim]

It has been going shit.

Also, no scores from other games please.

Surprising, we've been putting these small sides away with ease this season.

[Munchies]

62 mins coming up...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere trying to make runs beyond Giroud which is a slight improvement on the first half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit him Bif!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What was that Giroud?

Woeful cross.

[Munchies]

wtf was that Giroud ? Give it straight away

[Marc Overmars]

Been asleep for most of the game. Sounds like its getting worse everytime I check what's going on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches saves from Crouch's flicked header!

[Özim]

Chesney saves from Crouch, Stoke look encouraged by the score.

[Özim]

Cameron belts it wide, should have scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cameron. :haha:

[Özim]

Been asleep for most of the game. Sounds like its getting worse everytime I check what's going on.

:lol: You sound just like me!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi well and truly hauled off, Özil on.

[Master Splinter]

Ox on on 89 then?

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Ozil, time to prove you've sorted your life out.

[adzzzbatch]

get the fuck up giroud.

[Munchies]

Charlie Adam, FUCKING CUNT

[JonasTC]

Sooo Charlie Adams have stomped 3 of our players now and still havent been booked....

[Master Splinter]

Free for all on Giroud being condoned by the ref.

[Marc Overmars]

Spirit of Pulis lives on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So poor from Wilshere.

[Master Splinter]

We need some pace and energy, someone to run beyond Giroud, but Wenget bought Ozil on to seemingly continue with the status quo.

What match is he watching?

[WMUG]

Lovely move there, Wilshere the weak link as always and gives it away.

[Master Splinter]

Spirit of Pulis lives on.

But the spirit of Hughes was always there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam off, Ireland on.

[Munchies]

Make some subs Wenger

[adzzzbatch]

how wilshere hasn't been subbed I'll never know! He's been awful.

[Özim]

Trevor Francis reckons both sides have played to not concede so far and are just beginning to try to look to score.

If it's true why would we take 70 minutes or so before we decide it's time to kick on?

[Master Splinter]

how wilshere hasn't been subbed I'll never know! He's been awful.

So have Rosicky and Cazorla tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky off, Oxocube on.

[Özim]

how wilshere hasn't been subbed I'll never know! He's been awful.

He averages one good game every 6, but he's one of Wenger's favourites so always seems to stay on.

[Munchies]

FUCK

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Penalty to Stoke. Ridiculous.

[Özim]

We're up sh*t creek now, penalty stoke.

Koscielny handball.

[KSE Comedy Club]

What a load of bullshit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Walters.

[Özim]

1-0 Stoke.

[Munchies]

how the fuck is that a pen ?

[milla]

Sack Wenger, old man has lost it. This is so poor, it is not funny anymore. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilson booked.

[Marc Overmars]

Running out of steam at the business end, as expected.

[AFC Leveller]

will be 4th next week as things stand....- if pool and city win their games in hand.

[Maestro]

unreal, soft pelanty but we've been shit

how ox and gnarbry are not on the pitch, only wumget knows

[GP]

Ref has cost us this. Utter disgrace.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

How the fuck can that be classified as deliberate?

Mike Jones is bent. This was the dickhead who ruled out that Newcastle equaliser against Man City ....... well and truly corrupt.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Stoke being allowed to kick fuck out of every player on the pitch and just get a yellow. Fuck me

[adzzzbatch]

We ain't gonna win fuck all with this lot. When we have a tough game they all go missing. It's pathetic.

[Maestro]

with the way we played this kinda shit was doomed to happen

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere hauled off, Sanogo on.

[Özim]

How the fuck can that be classified as deliberate?

Mike Jones is bent. This was the dickhead who ruled out that Newcastle equaliser against Man City ....... well and truly corrupt.

Don't think it has to be deliberate.

[Master Splinter]

Still no urgency.

From Wenger or the players.

Just inexcusably bad all round today.

[Gubby Allen]

Sack Wenger, old man has lost it. This is so poor, it is not funny anymore. :lol:
4th is near enough secured, only probably need 3 more wins and have an easy run in. What do these other matches matter?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Right across goal from Özil.

[Özim]

Giroud buys us a free kick with an excellent dive!

[Marc Overmars]

We ain't gonna win fuck all with this lot. When we have a tough game they all go missing. It's pathetic.

This is nothing.

Just wait till you see the shit we'll serve up when we begin the death run of fixtures this month.

4th place trophy is coming home.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Don't think it has to be deliberate.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/rules_and_equipment/4524354.stm

In Fifa's Laws of the Game 2005, Law 12 says a free-kick or penalty will be awarded if a player "handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)".

Page 67 of the document gives "additional information for referees, assistant referees and fourth officials".

It adds: "Referees are reminded that deliberately handling the ball is normally punished only by a direct free-kick or penalty kick if the offence occurred inside the penalty area.

"A caution or dismissal is not normally required."

[adzzzbatch]

Awful freekick.

[Özim]

Free kick straight into the wall :rolleyes:

[Munchies]

Giroud :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful from Giroud.

[adzzzbatch]

This is nothing.

Oh I agree the worst is yet to come!

Still we should get our 4th place trophy.

Exactly, joke of a decision.

[adzzzbatch]

Can we get a player that can actually put in a cross please?

Fair enough, but from what I've seen penalties are always given for handball in the box unless the back is kicked at someone from close range and can't be avoided.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[Munchies]

:pray:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal you morons.

[milla]

Can we get a manager that can actually tell the players to play good entertaining football?

:gp:

[Munchies]

Fuck off Giroud, shit cunt.

[adzzzbatch]

:gp:

That too!

[Özim]

At the end of the day, the reason we lost (if we do) today seems to be because we didn't turn up and play. From the comments on here and from what I've seen (the 2nd half) we haven't performed well and have barely threatened their goal.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off Giroud, shit cunt.

:gp:

[LDG]

:lol:

Wish I hadn't checked the score now.

Living in peace and denial is the way forward.

Come on you bastards. Do us a favour! :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo. Fucking hell.

[Munchies]

FUCK SAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Özim]

Oxo great ball, Sanogo :doh:

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

:crying:

Absolutely, we're just not good enough. I don't know why we think we can turn up jog around a bit and think we'll win.

[Munchies]

Im not kidding, I jumped up when I saw that chance created

FUCK sake

[Marc Overmars]

:lol:

I gave up after the mauling at Anfield. Proved that day we didn't have the stones for it.

We'll finish 4th at this rate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 FT. Utter shit.

[Özim]

FT 1-0 Shocker of a result, Stoke have been awful this year and I 100% expected a win here.

[Marc Overmars]

Sanogo. :lol:

Great competition winner.

[Özim]

Arteta and Sagna bitching to the ref at the end.

[Munchies]

I'd take 4th now.

[Özim]

I'd take 4th now.

4th is sh*t tbh, it's where we always seem to end up.

[bilko22]

totally agree, we needed a top top striker who can score from nothing, 50 - 60 mil
you get what you pay for,
we need a suarez not a heskey type

I think we all knew that unless we strengthened in January, we had no hope of keeping the pace.

What's worrying, is that the players probably know that too.

Ah well.

:beer:

[Özim]

I think we all knew we wouldn't strengthen in January and that we'd eventually run out of steam because of it. Well maybe not all, but most (excluding the manager unfortunately).

[fakeyank]

Needed a striker, got Kallstrom. Tell me Berbatov wouldnt have been a better choice and I hope your dick gets blown off!

[LDG]

Yeah. That's what I thought.

[adzzzbatch]

We played straight into the hands of stoke we made it pretty comfortable for them. There was no urgency from us and it was all very casual and sloppy. Surely Arsene knew that stoke would be up for this and told his team to play accordingly but nope.

stoke will probably lose their next game 3-0 now after playing what was just their biggest game of the season.

Berbatov would have hidden under his mums skirt today, like the others.

What we needed is some corruption and money to buy us the league.

He wouldve still scored that chance Sanogo missed, even if it was from inside his mom's vagina.

[Munchies]

Giroud is fucking shit, apart from tap ins, he's useless

So is Sanogogogoo, 20 year old unproven from Ligue 2. :lol: He's better than Giroud, but thats not saying much

[LDG]

Though, he has probably scored in your mums vagina, tbf.
