STOKE RFC THREAD

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

seeing the stoke fans behind wenger jump about like over excitable kids out on a school field trip was very endearing and sweet, reminded me of my childhood. however their booing of ramsey was just despicable, I'm sure getting your leg broken is bad enough without having to endure abuse from the supporters of that club. was his fault having bones in his leg?
It's quite nice to see we can still rile up clubs like stoke city, even if we haven't got the best team in the league, we're still some teams cup final :barscarf:

Snore. Stoke are a sad little club with no local rivals of their own (at least not any that they play regularly) so they've latched on to us as their "enemy". We had some drama with them when one of our players had his leg smashed in 2 but the way they carry it on is just sad. :blah:

Had a good laugh yesterday, not the best away day l have ever been too, away support again amazing, booing of Rambo, left a bit of a sour taste in the mouth, arm flapping of Stokies regarding Mr Wenger midly amusing, but some of their fans ' banter' sadly reminded me of the 1970's a bit, just abuse in actual fact. Oh and some of patrons in the town centre pubs look like extras from the Sar Wars bar................... and no pubs near the station and no cash machines seem to work there?Still a good day out though. :barscarf:

We also had 2 clear penalties turned down. Same old shite from the referees

I'm sure I heard their fans singing.......
"He breaks what he wants" about Shawcross. Did you hear it too?

As for the 1970's style abuse - thats how it should be. Intense, cut the hate-filled air with a knife and frankly intimidating. Not the sanitised nice day out civilised atmospheres we get these days.

Wenger deserves all he gets. He gets on my tits with his petulant, embarrassing arm-waving and touchline spats.

Ramsey got absolutely great support from us and the Stoke fans should be embarrassed and ashamed for booing a young lad that one of their players injured so badly.

He's certainly become something of a parody on the touchline, and to be fair, seeing much of the stadium 'doing the Wenger' is actually very funny. :oops: :lol:

I saw it for the first time at St Andrews last season, and thought it was quality :lol:

I like that sort of banter, as it's taking the piss without being nasty.

I completely agree. Amazing to see people rushing to his defence. His touchline antics from kicking/throwing water battles, standing there finger jabbing and berating the fourth official (like he can fucking do anything??), walking off without shaking hands etc - he's getting the treatment he deserves. He's been abusive about Stoke and not just in games involving his own team, so what does he expect.

Frankly, the owner, Chief Exec, Chairman and Manager are all embarrassing a once great club beyond belief

Didn't hear" he break what he wants", but l would not suprise me to be honest, l was right near the home fans and it was pretty loud especially from our side, although some Gooners at the bottom of the stand were really getting the hump about something.

Yeah I heard the break what he wants / breaks legs when he wants chant by the inbreds. Not the best but I leave the moaning to others!

The more worrying thing is every team coming up with umpteen versions of "he _______ when/what he wants". How fucking unoriginal and boring

Hope this poxy song ends up in the archive with "Here we go" in the not too distant future

I haven't seen Red around these parts since his numerous predictions of a 'nice comfortable victory' yesterday :oops:

If you go back earlier in this thread you will find the words "Gervinho will have the strength to hold off the Stoke defenders" :D
