The fitting response to those comments is the class way in which AW has brought out that cards are only half the story, and the fair play table tells a more complete picture.

Shooting off expletives can be reserved till after the game, when we are more pissed off than ever. Till then, just relax and hope for a more fitting response to them, on the field - not off it.

4-1 to Arsenal.

Sunderland game was a lesson to spot the weakest links in terms of tactics and positions of players.

Im confident its been worked out and they will take this by a storm.

Btw, hopefully Cazorla has more freedom this time.

He played a little too deep in the last game.

@AFCAMDEN

Mannone starts, Szczesny out with Rib injury. Fabianski still not 100%. Told Mannone been doing "Amazing" in training. Let's hope.

God help us all.

doing " Amazing " in training

Amazingly bad ?


but meh, gotta support vito!

Vito Buffone will make us proud

We can do this. Come on!

Mannone playing , we have some jokers as reserve keepers. Watch him make a mistake then the media will be all over us.

Vito needs a blinder. I kinda like the guy. I feel he's too easily criticized by many. Vermaelen and Mertesacker should help him out as much as possible...

All I know is we must win. We must. And I agree with highburied, Cazorla needs to play a little closer to the CF.

The guy has zero confidence, he can be good but he needs that confidence.

Mannone?

Arsenal haven't lost a league game with Vito Mannone in goal: 5 wins, 1 draw. His last PL outing was 3 years ago (Oct 09 v West Ham).

For all the talk of Stoke being a bogey team, only Man Utd 22 & Chelsea 20 have earned more points v the Potters in the PL than Arsenal (16)

Arsenal.com ‏@Arsenal
Arsenal team v Stoke: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Diaby, Cazorla, Gervinho, Podolski, Giroud

Podolski on the left wing then.. whatever happen to 'three strikers didn't work' from last week, pray?

But seriously, its a good team. Theo might have been inexistent in this game. Gerv-Giroud-Poldi was what I wanted, but didn't see AW doing it.

Walcott on the bench

Wenger

Someone open the live thread.

Arsenal.com ‏@Arsenal
Subs: Martinez, Santos, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Djourou, Coquelin #SCFCvAFC

If there is chat, then live thread would be pointless.. Or should I make it?

Theo , Wenger seems to be learning. Stoke play with everyone behind the ball and Theo is useless when there is no space

Live thread up boys.
