STOKE CITY 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.

28% possession, 3 shots on goal and 2 goals (albeit 1 unlucky deflection)
:lol: :lol:

Ha, are those stats true? - 72% possession! :lol:

We are just incompetent on set pieces - totally inept! it's beyond a joke, and it's gone on far far too long, and shows no sign of being addressed!! :banghead:

As for the possession stat - it really is no surprise. We flood midfield, get our full backs wide and then endlessly pass sideways in front of the Stoke players.... when we do [finally] pass forward, we tend to lose possession.

It's boring and predictable. As is the way we conceded from that set piece.

Wenger shouldn't be shaking his head as he leaves the dug out - this is his mess, and it's a mess he refuses to address... or worse, is incapable of addressing. Either way, he should sort outour ridiculous fragility on set pieces once and for all this summer OR consider retiring gracefully! :roll:

Well the poor ickle things - I mean it has been a long season and they had to attend the end of season party the other night (to celebrate winning Feck All yet again)....and their accouontants have had to invest their money in offshore bank accounts to avoid taxes etc etc....and Wenger has had to go down on his missus every night since she found out about his knobbing that french dj/hooker!!...............What has happened to the 'True Spirit' we used to have and could always be relied upn!???.....Henry, Bergkamp, Adams, Keown, Petit, Vieiera, Seaman, Gilberto, Overmarrs, Parlour

Any ONE of those could lead this lot out of trouble.....

Get rid of all the shyte and Give the Captaincy to TV5 - Or we are forever Fuckedd !!!!!!!

Oh really, you don't say... :banghead:

How the fuck can we beat Man Utd but fall apart against so many inferior sides?

How can the board justify the price increase? if we stopped paying these w**ker's so much we would save a ton!
Easy - too many players are too immature to be consistent winners in this side. All it takes is a couple of those players to undue a good team, and we have five or six maybe.

Is it just me,or have Stoke RFC become the new Spuds for the Sky commentators?They seem to be falling over themselves to portray them as the "Plucky underdogs",doing it against all the odds!!!

Words totally escape me - arshavin has to go now but I have to say that I amazed that nobody has said 1 bad work about walnutt who is hiding as is his norm :x Why is he not looking to get on the ball more ? He is terrified and like most of his team-mates he lacks bottle when the heat is on :roll: :oops: I do think taking ramsey off was harsh btw and the booing of him is an utter disgrace but totally in keeping with those inbred knuckle dragging scum *word censored* :evil: :evil: :evil:
