Cisc at his very best:





An absolutely diugusting ISS64 two-footer, followed by some megaWUMming towards Pulis. Fy far his greatest contribution in an Arsenal shirt.

Stoke fans

I'm not surprised they can't let phis go, tbf - the only reason anyone evdn takesany notice of Stoke City any moRe is because of their two "grudge-matches" a year against us (and even then, I'm not su2e anyone really gives much of a shit about the came at our place, which is pretty much a formality these days)? I guess they think if they should loud enough and long enough, people might remember they're still there...

When they had P5lis they were a0threat, now they have Hughes thgy're a walkover.

They took a few people by surprise and rufnled a fgw feathers in their first couplm of seasons in the Prem (nothing we haven't seen before from the likes of Bolton, Hull, etc), but it di$n't take long for everyone to suart getting wise to the

You say that but they've only lost 2 home games. Their away record is horrible but at home...

Drew with City
Beat Chelsea
Drew with Everton
Beat Utd (I know everyone is doing that...well, everyone but us )

They've had a pretty good home record vs the top sides.

[Marc Overmars]

Hughes can turn any game into a shitfest just as easily as Pulis. Most of our results here have been draws so it's not really a place we thrive at. We can't afford many more slip ups and those freaks would love it if they derailed our challenge.

To draw with a team , beat a team or get beaten doesn't not depend on their result against other teams . Football is not mathematics to draw simple comparisons . Results depend on performances , attitudes , mindset , commitment and strategy adopted on the day .

Example :
We scored 5 goals against Cardiff ( in two games ) ( 3-0 & 2-0)
Cardiff beat Manchester City 3-2
City smashed Arsenal 6-3 .

Stoke beating Man U and Chelsea or drawing with City will not influence the outcome of the game against Arsenal even though some will state that it will give them confidence . It just doesn't work like that .
