Make your fucking minds up

More flip-floppers than on here eh ?

Something else we have Wenker to thank for, Stoke consider us rivals :roll:

My thoughts exactly. Although waiting for the one occasion each year when they get to bully us is probably what's keeping a lot of them from sticking their shotgun in their mouth and pulling the trigger.

I have been to some very 'unfortunate' places in the UK but my trip to Stoke was a real eye-opener. It's like the 20th century never happened there.

As far as I know, the only thing of note to originate from this dump is Royal Doulton.

Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy, 29, is being assessed by a shoulder specialist amid fears that he requires surgery and will be ruled out for up to three months after suffering a dislocation against Stoke City on Sunday. (Daily Telegraph)

The Ramsey assault and the Deeebooochee assault were deffo not "just one of those things" or "just bad luck". :roll:

I've played the game for for 40 years now, (admittedly at a shit amateur level :D ) but you get to know when a player has gone to do another player. You just know. Shawcunt went in high over the ball onto Rambo's planted leg. There is no player in the world that honestly thinks he isn't going to cause a serious injury going in like that. Tackling is an art form, getting foot to ball, and not putting your foot through the legs of the oppo player is a skill. What Shawcunt did was unacceptable at any level and is refered to in the amateur game as "a cúnt's tackle" because only a cúnt would do that to a fellow player.

The Deeboochee incident was cowardly. If they both go up for the ball, one of them might top end the other or clash heads; that is acceptable, it happens, no one is at fault - THAT is "just one of those things" or "just bad luck". But to stop, stand, wait for the other player to move and then shove them in the back at the point where they are furthest from balance (and at the camber of the pitch) is cowardly and an intentional attempt to cause injury.

Debuchy incident totally cowardly , reading comments on the incident online some wankers saying Arsenal need to man up, only Arsenal players get injured like that etc etc. ..while I agree Arsenal do need to man up at times, but when a player shepherds a ball over the line he is entitled to assume he is not going to get a cowards push in the back when that ball is dead. However when you are playing against the vilest team in front of their vile away support in the corner you have to assume the scumbag chasing you is going to do something nasty.

It's always the Arsenal player who ends up on a stretcher or being stitched so I'd agree they need to toughen up if it wasn't for the fact that the opponents are always Stoke. Didn't one of them take adebayore out when he and the ball were both off the pitch? Wasn't that one Ryan Shawcross? Some of their brain dead fans even suggest that Ramsey's leg was already broken before shawcross assaulted him. Tripped on the grass apparently.
