If we were to go say 2 goals up at Stoke Id love to see us get a throw on , ask for the towel , fuck about for a minute or two cleaning it then do a run up and take a shitty short throw in! Then vary it every time we get a throw but make sure we use the fucking towel ! :lol:

Thats why we need to play Eboue, he'd do it.

Don’t we usually throw in the towel up there anyway? :roll: :oops: :oops:

In all seriousness though, before the cup game the ref supposedly gave Wenger the option to deny Stoke the use of the towel but Wenger said he was OK with it as long as both sides were able to use it. I reckon he actually would’ve had us doing exactly what Chunky said if we’d been in front, but seeing as we gifted them the lead after 5 minutes it was never an option. :roll:

I fuckin hate Stoke. And their horrible brand of anti-football. And their shitty narrowed-down-on-purpose pitch, with its shitty hacked-up surface.

The towel bollocks should be banned. It IS time wasting.

I would like us to take the piss. Do the same bollocks with the towel. Wipe the ball at throw-ins, corners, free kicks and ( :lol: :roll: )penalties.

They are also dirty bastards who seem to get away with GBH.

And for those who defend Stokes tactics, because they don't have much money, have a look at the way Burnley play their football. There IS a choice.

I hope we stuff 'em. We'll probably lose 2-0. :(

No one in this team has the character to do it. The softies will be shit-scared enough to be on the same pitch as Stoke never mind trying to wind them up! Although I can see Eboue doing it, just.

If only Lehmann was still here!

Injury update...
Eduardo could return for the trip to Stoke but William Gallas, Abou Diaby and Andrey Arshavin will definitely miss Saturday's game.

The Croatian striker has missed the last five games with a hamstring problem but will return to full training on Friday and may be included in Arsène Wenger's squad for a tough test at the Britannia Stadium.

"Gallas (calf), Diaby (knee) and Arshavin (hamstring) are all out but Eduardo joins in training tomorrow [Friday] and we will decide after training," said the manager at his pre-match press conference.

Looks like it :cry:

I'd rather play Eastmond in midfield. He's not exactly a big powerhouse, but Denilson is the weakest player I've seen us field since Reyes left.

I really cannot stand everything about stoke. From there long throws, the stadium, and the towel :banghead:

It will be my third trip to stoke on saturday, and it is revenge time, 3-1 to the Arsenal.

Would like Wenger's line up to be:

**********ALMUNIA*********
SAGNA***TV5**SOL***CLICHY
***************************
***********SONG***********
*****CESC********RAMSEY***
***************************
EBOUE*******NB52*****NASRI

SUBS: FLAPPY, SILVESTRE, TRAORE, DENILSON, ROSICKY, WALCOTT, EDUARDO.
