Great ball by Sanchez, awful defending though.

They have a terrible record away to Arsenal, 12 times a row they've lost this fixture (including cups).

Irish Aris

excellent!!!

Johner

Arsenal playing some nice stuff, should be an easy days work.

Johner

No need for that from Arnautovic.

yipeeeee

Christ

wandatowell

Didnt take Stoke long.........

bad2dabone

Ref didn't even have a word just another soft Arsenal player

Would love to see some Karma here

yipeeeee

He knew straight away and pretended he didn't.

I hate stoke.

Debuchy has to come off because of it - disgrace

yipeeeee

Doesn't look good, arm looked bad

efb

Same old stoke

Looks very serious he is still getting treatment

I'm not watching this but from following it seems that Debuchy was needlessly shoved into an advertising hoarding and is now injured. Is there any way that should not be a retrospective ban?

flyingoutside

What happened to debuchy? i missed the start

Johner

Looks like a dislocated shoulder anyway.

bad2dabone

Looks serious. I detest stoke. Apes.

I actually hate them

wandatowell

Seems to be the shoulder that's gone.

Sly move to push him over, no need.

extra gravy

Sure many times has Charlie Adam got away with disgraceful challenges...nothing will done as usual.

Nope it's just Arsenal being 'soft' ref saw it completely and decided not even a word was needed

yipeeeee

Do these commentators even be watching the game?

Seriously I could see he was in bad pain and it was a push.

5 mins later, oh debuchy looks in pain from falling awkwardly.

Idiots.

That's a blatant yellow too, horrid refereeing.

Soups123

Wonder what way the ref is swayed today

Definitely should be a ban. Commentators saying it was an awkward landing and the surface isn't great near the advertising hoarding - fuc*ing hell like, he was purposely shoved and with the momentum clattered into the hoarding. Arm possibly broken and cut to the head.

Johner

Begovic is a cracking keeper.

Adam wasn't even cautioned for choking alexis at Stoke

yipeeeee

I want someone on our team to get in the refs face about these challenges.

Need to stand up for ourselves.

wandatowell

Giroud's shooting is getting really solid.



Derp. I spoke too soon.

Johner

Rosicky is playing lovely stuff.

Arsenal should be pushing the boat out for him in the summer if their GK situation doesnt improve.

Soups123

Good lad Giroud

LuckyGent88

Arsenal playing really well here. Sanchez is a joy to watch.

Game should be over already.

yipeeeee

Weldone giroud.

Soups123

Ref has been appalling not fit for this level

And Giroud got away with raising his hands in this game

yipeeeee

Seen it in the first minute the ref Doesn't have a clue.

Kirby

In the interest of balance, its the sort of "push the player out of play" shove you see every weekend. I dare say I've seen Mertesacker do it in a German shirt before. It just led to an injury this time.
