Stoke City V Arsenal Match Thread. Live SS1

This will not be a win for Arsenal. All concentration and focus is gone.

Looks like Game Over, all the zip gone now. Looks like 3rd for this year.

Except Eduardo has been completely ****e since he came back.

True that he hasnt been great but atleast he is playing at all after what happened. ramsey is young so he has time on his side

If you say so, sick of being on the receiving end of "tough", "hard"-playing teams and tackles to be perfectly ****ing honest.

it's just unlucky.

it's a physical game, or at least it should be.

i've seen it, he honestly went for the ball.

i feel for Ramsey, i really really do. this is all about him and his career. but this is not an excuse to get rid of any physicality, or 'hard' but fair play. it was an honest attempt at the ball.

OPENROAD

Come on Arsenal !!!

Mr Alan

the tackle from shawcross was not as bad as gallas one against bolton recently-so stop crying about physical teams, accidents happen. couple of arsenal fans are not exactly covering themselves in glory here.

PHB

Thats sad for Ramsey Hopefully he'll take heart in knowing that these days, most people come back from these injuries much faster than they ever did before.

Sky don't produce the Spannish football. They basically re-broadcast the Spannish coverage and have no control over it, it's either on or off..

No, they can cut away whenever they want. They chose to show it. If they didnt want to show the dozen or so replays that went on over about 5mins until they had the chap off the pitch they could have just cut back to the studio if they wanted.

I get the feeling that you watch football for all the wrong reasons.

What ?

I am simply pointing out that they have shown replays off such tackles before and recently. In fact the revista la liga show a couple of days later even showed the tackle again about half a dozen times. So I actually do know what I am talking about.

ah come on if it was a highly promising Liverpool player, I think you might be just a bit upset.

And you think Sky wont show it in a few days? Eduardos leg break was all over Sky News a day or two afterwards.

Like i said, be patient for a few days and you can then enjoy it in all its glory.

Of course i would, thats not wat people are taking exception to. i would not however accuse a player of being filthy if it was just an unfortunate accident.

How did he miss :eek:

recylingbin

Is Campbell injured too or just lazy?
My nan would have made an attempt to get on the end of that.

I'm no Arsenal fan, I'm upset, it was a horrific injury. No point in taking your anger out on Shawcross. He didn't mean it. It was just a freak accident.

That's why he should have been sold imo.

In the heat of the moment people say things when an incident like that happens, we are football fans after all, surely you can undestand that?

keano_afc

FFS Eddie, should have buried that.

IvySlayer

Penalty!

PHB

Definate penalty. His arms shouldnt have been out like that

OPENROAD

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IvySlayer

2-1.

recylingbin

penno?
You gotta be ****ting me.
The lad was trying to take his arm out of the way.

Bloodlust from the ref.

mike65

Oh there you are a nice soft peno, Gooners can take their thumbs out of their mouths now.

paul150

Understandable reaction in the heat of the moment, I think you will agree.

IvySlayer

7 mines extra time for Stoke to get back in.

Aidric

Title race a go.

****ing bull****, he had his hands out by his side, knew exactly what he was doing.

Of course. Seeing a player down, and Shawcross sent off, one can only assume.

Oh grow up ffs.

That's an old trafford penaly if ever there was one.

amacachi

Looked a push on Bendtner in the box there.

Good commentary "uncompromising challenge".

PHB

That was an absurd tackle by Collins, definate penalty.

At least you can see that.

It evens out the penalty Bendtener should have had after he was pushed over.

I must have missed the post where you said you were wrong to accuse a young player of deliberatly breaking another players leg

Might explain why PHB also thinks it was a penalty. :pac:
It's pretty obvious what he was doing, with the hope that the ref would think what you think.

Jaysus!!!

Royale with Cheese

That Bendtner push was as clear a penalty as you'll ever see.

Good to see Arsenal come back and win this one, took the a while to get going after that injury. Hopefully it shows they have the strength to keep going this time round, unlike the 07/08 season when Eduardo got injured.

paul150

For people who want to see a replay of the tackle. Warning that it is horrible Link

Have a search, I fairly rarely swear in my posts, but I'm fairly wound from this match.

Stoke fans are a disgrace.

mike65
