But for Baines it would be an early Invincibles Day this year.

Still though, the team should be well fired up after Liverpool losing, hopefully top of the table properly this time tomorrow

Hope that result shuts up Liverpool fans for a while

For an evening. They always resurface from the ground come morning light.

Victory tomorrow and we're top. Not too shabby after the Villa debacle.

you know 'on demand' programs/content that's available with sky, are there any listed under sports?

if you could go to TV guide, then over to sports, then select on demand & see what's there

:pac: thanks anyway

you should get it connected up there's way way more stuff on it that way.
you only see about 14 programs now, right?
it isn't difficult, you just need an ethernet cable from your router to the box (the box may even be wireless)

So where will we fit mata into the team from January? Wide left?

He made his choice, leave him mull over his decision!

he must be pissed off though, player of the season for 2 consecutive years, dropped from squad for no reason. Can't understand it.

pretty nonsensical I reckon; then again I'm not Mourinho - I think this decision will make or break his second spell at the club.

I think I get what your asking , I have it hooked up bought the wireless sky adaptor (should look it up soups its only 14 euro and get lots of extra options for no extra charge a month) but there is no sports on there is all movies and tv boxsets.

yeah that's more or less what i'm asking

if you go tv guide > sports > on demand
do you see any programs or just a message?

a guy on the satellite forum started a thread on this, he reckoned it only disappeared since monday
i just got sky back this week - 6 months free - so was unsure what's normally on myself, it's nearly only me & him replying in the thread so i'm asking about to see if others have anything on there

strangely you can get some sports programs if you manually search for them & there's a way to get them in the uk that isn't available here (they've a 'catch up' tab in their 'on demand' section that has sky sports)

More midfielders, exactly what we need!

I was thinking.

With Rosicky bound to leave next season and Arteta and Flamini getting older; I wouldn't mind the signing of a world class midfielder.

Just one though

Maybe just 50 million or so

We already done that, a few weeks ago!

HazDanz

This could be a good day. Slay the Orcs and top of the table.

Hope Walcott takes the chances provided to him today, see if the mid week goal gave him a lift or not.

#Arsenal team v Stoke: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Flamini, Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil, Walcott, Giroud

#ARSENAL SUBS: Viviano, Jenkinson, @T_Vermaelen05, @m8arteta, Monreal, Bendtner, Gnabry #AFCvSCFC

bench looking stronger

greendom

Out-possessed by Stoke
Scoring all our goals from set-pieces
Winning a game with Mike Dean in charge
Top of the table

It's a strange new World but I think I like it !

emergingstar

Good win

We looked shattered

Need another level to compete with the top teams

Happy out though

I second that!!!
Was this 3 assists from Özil? and one last week, makes it 4? in 2 games?

Soups123

Flamini is becoming my favourite player...... Wasn't expecting this

.jacksparrow.

Great win, can't believe we have santi to come back too.

Ramsey arteta ozil santi and theo, will that be our midfield.

Indeed we looked tired on second half.
Still overall it was a good defensive performance. I reckon we will see quite a few of them this year, which I don't mind as long as we are winning.

I guess we will see changes in the cup game midweek. Good chance for Arteta to get back to the game. Also Gnabry-good performance today, he lacks Walcott's pace, but I think he was really involved in the game.

How important was that win in Germany?!

Looking good now. Hope we can handle any injuries now.

Alfred Borden

emergingstar

Arteta will have to stay on the bench next week

Flamini playing too well

jank

Good to see Arteta back. We were kind over run in terms of possession at times which was a bit worrying but a win is good as always. Cant argue with being top of the league.

On a side note why were there 10,000 empty seats at the ground. Kinda worrying.

I'm not worried at all we had possession victories for years and it's got us nowhere much prefere being more effective with lesser possession. It's definitely in the new tactics watch when we lose the ball all 10 players rush to get behind it, in the past we expected 4/5 to do it and hope they break the play

Changing my FF captain to Ozil is paying off big time

Great win today!!

gosplan

Didn't see game but glad we showed those fancy dans how to win rugby style with a few set pieces.

Any interesting points that I missed?

Added Ramsey this week in place of Santi and Giroud has been in the team since day one!!

Could he play on the wing? Didn't he used to play there for Everton. Think we are very lopsided with Wilshere out there. No attacking threat at all from the left

good man, I kept Giroud, so many points lost.
Though, Walcott not playing, will actually give me another 12 points in FF.
