Eh? Contact about 4 yards from the ball is a foul.

Clearly not because the ref didn't give it. "Contact" does not constitute a foul.

Are you here just to wind arsenal fans up?

Apparently I'm here to watch them bitch and moan about every little thing in the game. It's tiresome.

If that's a penalty than we may aswell all go home and start watching Basketball.....because clearly we want to watch a non contact sport.

A trip in the box is a penalty dude.

That's one thing Jack is good for.

Yep but when Jack does it he gets ridaculed

Deliberately tripping someone is a penalty. Are you seriously arguing against that?

Coquellin is playing well. Breaking up well well and his distribution seems good.

Ah yes because refs are never wrong, this one in particular.

No-one on this team is putting it up to take ref or stoke players.

If it kicked off All you'd have to do is kick jack in the ankle anyway.

It's like those ones defenders allow to run out of play and block the attackers nothing is ever given for the attacking team even though the defender is no where near the ball or will play it

I know I agree, in fairness they've stayed in the game and were comfortably 2 up

yipeeeee

Why is giroud letting Shaw cross speak to him like that.

Not if you are up at 8am and have breakfast then

Love the way you Pool fans see all these things differently today!

It's annoying when the slip up you were hoping for is slipping away

Presume he trying to be a good boy after the QPR incident. Other than that id say there would be sparks.

We look good at times. Ozil and Walcott for last 20 would be very exciting.

Giving him the smile was a perfect response.
Ollies just back from a needless ban. Now if he scores it'll be the icing on the cake

Call him a **** back.

Ol' Donie

AdamD

wandatowell

Begovic can fcuk right off

bad2dabone

Hahaha

yipeeeee

Haha thought they were been smart moving over the line.

Fuhrer

Ha, that was great to see after all Stokes ****housing with the wall.

Ol' Donie

That's the job. Get in Alexis. Go on and hammer these now.

Skylinehead

Sanchez bows before no wall, he goes through :cool:

citytillidie

That Stoke keeper would do well at Liverpool

yipeeeee

Bellerin is a great prospect.

Another Barca lad.

I was just thinking he's coming along nicely. He's a rocket too.

Signed a long term deal in 2013

Come on arsenal enjoying this (save for the injuries)

I really hope that if Wenger is going to give Ozil or Walcott a run, it's a decent 20 mins, rather than his usual 6-8 mins at the end.

Edit: thanks Arsene

cson

Bellerin's a player lads. Think you're looking at the long term future at right back for Arsenal there.

efb

Ah close!

Ol' Donie

Flippin love Oxlade. Deadly player

efb

We hate Stoke! We hate Stoke! We hate Stoke! We hate Stoke!

Not watching but get Sanchez off the ****. :P

wandatowell

Stoke forced to play skillful football and they fall apart.

bad2dabone

Welcome back Mesut

AdamD

Ozil, Sanchez and Walcott, its happening.

Dawww. But once theos match fit this will be lethal

TimeToShine

Dreadful miss but better now than against City.

cson

Missed a sitter against Hull too. Better get that sharpness back pronto! He looks slower too to me which is worrying.

Ozil was very disappointing there - thought he'd have had a lot more hunger and drive about him considering how long he was out. Looked leggy.

Pluses aside from the obvious Sanchez are Bellerin, Coquelin and Chamberlain. All of whom look like very good players indeed; Chamberlain if he gets more clinical will be world class.

yipeeeee

Hoping ozil will explode but not confident.

That's a bit harsh, as Merson would say.

He's just back from a couple of months out!

Wanna give him more than 15 minutes to get sharp?

Jesus.
