Arsenal v Stoke

cson

Sign of the times with the lack of interest I suppose.

Any 1-0, Gervinho. Cracking assist from Ramsey for it.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Djourou, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Andre Santos, Walcott, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Gervinho, Chamakh. Subs: Fabianski, Rosicky, Park, van Persie, Arshavin, Frimpong, Benayoun.

Stoke: Begovic, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Upson, Wilson, Whitehead, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Walters, Crouch. Subs: Sorensen, Huth, Jones, Diao, Shotton, Jerome, Palacios.

cson

1-1 Crouch.

Comical stuff in defence.

Have to say Whelan deserves some respect after Pulis drops him for a new midfielder and he keeps fighting his way back into the team.

Not able to watch th match today. How have arsenal been playing? Was it comical defending for the Stoke goal again??

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Why are Stoke allowed to take so fucking long with their throws?

He's actually quite a decent player. He's always there.

Ya I think he's there best ball playing player anyway(Not too hard to do)

Not watching but sounds like Arsenal were unlucky to concede the free which lead to the equaliser. Apparently Ramsey is playeing a stormer, at least thats something. Would be nice if they could win this without bringing RVP on.

Nice to see Gervinho turning his man and trying from distance

I really wish Gervinhio would shave his head instead of sporting that stupid haircut

Anyone else think that Kos haircut makes him look like Sonic the Hedgehog?

If only he had sonic's pace too.

MaxPower89

Is that Park warming up??

cson

Gotta say, for all their detractors, Stoke play a really effective defensive game that's not bad to watch from a tactical p.o.v. - I'd be enjoying it but for the fact they're playing us.

wandatowell

Another good shift from Walcott, really earning that new deal he wants :mad:

cson

We might maybe consider practicing corners seeing as we get so many of them.

cson

RVP.

Quality.

The guy is top class.

patrickc

RVP legend yet again..

Paleface

Had to be RVP.

Best striker in the league!

Did he score already?!?!

Sweet

cson

We are ****ered if/when he gets injured this season.

You really can't begrudge him his move this summer.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Goal and an assist from the clogger.

Frisbee

I thought we were a one man team with Fab but now it's all about RVP, we'd be f00ked without him!

wandatowell

the man can not miss at the moment

It's unbelievable how little threat we pose from them. we really need to sort set pieces out at both ends of the pitch.

wandatowell

The big fellas just came on for stoke, ROUTE 1 from here on

iMuse

Need to hold on now, not easy with our defence.

patrickc

close from Jerome there..

wandatowell

dodgy defending

cson

RVP again.

The man is gold.

patrickc

RVP I want your babies !!

Paleface

I love RVP!!!

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Great run by Gerv and captain fantastic once again!

SDTimeout

Jesus H Christ. 40 goals in 2011

patrickc

Gervinho and Ramsey having a great game IMO

Quazzie

Thank fúck the stoke keeper brought his butter fingers out in the second half.

Sergio

RVP playing briliant again and took the goal well.Gervinho supplying some great passes into the box.

efb

3-1 woot!

wandatowell

ROBIN FCUKIN VAN PERSIE!!!!!!!

iMuse

I don't care if we break our wage structure, just make sure we keep him.

cson

Song has been very good today too.

Big player for us.

Soups123

We should double his wages and pray he signs no messing around with his contract give him what he wants. Then sign a world class forward to share the burden.
Legend

cson

Playing with snatches of the verve of old there now which is pleasing.

Todays display would give me optimism that we could make a push on the top 4 this season, especially if we can get TV and JW fit again.

wandatowell

Great to see an old school wide player at the arsenal, beating his man with pace. Well done Gerv

patrickc

great win, and a pleasant game to watch for a change

tayto lover

To be honest it was in the balance up until the last 20 minutes and the introduction of RVP which makes my point about needing another out and out striker. Chamack is not it. If anything happens to RVP we are fcuked.
