Stoke vs Arsenal

The fitting response to those comments is the class way in which AW has brought out that cards are only half the story, and the fair play table tells a more complete picture.

Shooting off expletives can be reserved till after the game, when we are more pissed off than ever. Till then, just relax and hope for a more fitting response to them, on the field - not off it.

4-1 to Arsenal.

Sunderland game was a lesson to spot the weakest links in terms of tactics and positions of players.

Im confident its been worked out and they will take this by a storm.

Btw, hopefully Cazorla has more freedom this time.

He played a little too deep in the last game.

@AFCAMDEN

Mannone starts, Szczesny out with Rib injury. Fabianski still not 100%. Told Mannone been doing "Amazing" in training. Let's hope.

God help us all.

doing " Amazing " in training

Amazingly bad ?


but meh, gotta support vito!

Vito Buffone will make us proud

We can do this. Come on!

Mannone playing , we have some jokers as reserve keepers. Watch him make a mistake then the media will be all over us.

All I know is we must win. We must. And I agree with highburied, Cazorla needs to play a little closer to the CF.

The guy has zero confidence, he can be good but he needs that confidence.

Mannone?

yehhh Mannone ,so what...does he ever "earned" 8 goals ! lol ..ohh come on guys...what's wrong with U...Sorry to say that but why ,some of u are such a pesimistic about this game guys ,heh ?

Arsenal haven't lost a league game with Vito Mannone in goal: 5 wins, 1 draw. His last PL outing was 3 years ago (Oct 09 v West Ham).

For all the talk of Stoke being a bogey team, only Man Utd 22 & Chelsea 20 have earned more points v the Potters in the PL than Arsenal (16)

Arsenal team v Stoke: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Diaby, Cazorla, Gervinho, Podolski, Giroud

Podolski on the left wing then.. whatever happen to 'three strikers didn't work' from last week, pray?

But seriously, its a good team. Theo might have been inexistent in this game. Gerv-Giroud-Poldi was what I wanted, but didn't see AW doing it.

Walcott on the bench

Wenger

Someone open the live thread.

Arsenal.com ‏@Arsenal
Subs: Martinez, Santos, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Djourou, Coquelin #SCFCvAFC

If there is chat, then live thread would be pointless.. Or should I make it?

Theo , Wenger seems to be learning. Stoke play with everyone behind the ball and Theo is useless when there is no space

Live thread up boys.
