That is quite a leap, and I doubt it would happen. The only player that I'd boo in that situation would be el hadj diouf, and even then I probably wouldn't.

Thats different though. We'd boo RVP because he's a **** and deserves it, if he breaks his leg or not would have no bearing on whether or not he gets booed.

Stoke fans boo Ramsey because he had the audacity to have his leg broken and the mental anguish it caused poor Ryan Shawcross. It pathetic.

Sir ches has apparently failed hs fitness test and mannone will be in goal today.

Fuck.

You are right on the first bit, it's a stupid comparison and one made for a desperate search for double standards - the typical 'arsenal fans are hypocrites' obsession.

But for the second bit, let's be fair, as far as I can see, they don't boo Ramsey because he broke his leg or even because he ignored shawcross' apology or whatever (though a minority of Stoke fans might say that). The most compelling argument made for booing Ramsey is that they don't accept why we give Shawcross grief - so they do the same thing in retaliation.

I hope Giroud starts up top, should be a big test for him up against their knuckle dragging centre backs.

LOL no wonder people say man city 2012 was the best ever finish to an english season. I would defo have paul davis in, his left hook on cockerill was missed by 35000 as well as the ref. Shawcross would also poop himself if keown was around.

Poldi and Giroud both start, Theo doesn't.

Arsenal: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Diaby, Cazorla, Gervinho, Podolski, Giroud

Stoke: 11 cunts

Subs: Martinez, Santos, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Djourou, Coquelin
