Free transport in Orcsville means a donkey & cart, followed by watching the game imprisoned in a dungeon with creatures from the realms of darkness.
Still can't be as bad as the Victoria Ground, night game in '77 near that graveyard

I dare any Stoke player to have a go at Kolašinac.

Leicester scored 3 against us away from home. Stoke are no better so should score a couple at home. Can we score 3 - yea we can as long as Feo stays on the bench.
3 - 2 to us & 3 points clear of Scum.

I enjoyed the 4-1 so much I've decided to pop up there again hoping to see a repeat. Having just turned 55 this week it looks like I'm as deluded as our Manager.

We've beaten them twice up there - once when Ramsey broke his leg and they went down to 10 men, and the other last year when they were on their holidays and everyone was swatting them.
Different game today - they'll be at it, and we won't. First defeat of the season, closely followed by a second at Anfield......before Bournemouth come for a swatting

I think we will win with little trouble today. Stoke really are a poor side and were woeful last week. I think they will have a long hard season ahead of them, Hughes may well be the first manager to get his P45.
As others have said, the side of Pulis time is gone and has been replaced by an almost lite version of the sideways tippy tally we can infuriatingly conjure up. I don't know if their new signing is playing but he won't make much difference if he does.
3-1 to the Arsenal!

This game is going to be decided by the Hunger Index..
And maybe mental strength.. Or is it toughness???
As long as the handbrake is off and there is no mental fateeg from last week we should have 11 on the field for the 5.30 KO.
Anyway that's how I see this one panning out

Anything as long as expected goals isn't the deciding factor is fine by me.xisstential wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2017 11:58 amThis game is going to be decided by the Hunger Index..

Illusionary dominance could be a factor

The only time we have beaten them away(since 2010) was in a glorified friendly last season, when they had fuck all to play for, and we were chasing the VT. We could win today, but if the game becomes anyway tough, I expect us to fold like the bottlers we usually are.Kvltman wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2017 11:54 amI think we will win with little trouble today.

If the team is set up as posted on tv
Monreal as the the middle of three CB's and as a player he has been solid for us generally but he is not a CB.
70 mins in and a tight game Crouch v Monreal
Typical Wenger after lasts weeks defensive show.
