This match should come with a health warning. You are stuck away in a large padded seat in an atmosphere free zone in a far flung corner of the ground and the action in the diametrically opposite corner is so far away it might as well be in the next Borough. On the pitch it couldn't really be any worse, we stumble to inevitable humiliating defeat with Ramsey normally to the fore while ridicule is heaped upon us from the self appointed 'Gooners' (god I hate that word) to our left and right. To compound the misery your day finishes up standing in an hour long queue for the tube train while listening to Arsenal fans around you wondering when there will be any decent opposition in town to play. By which time you just want to kill someone, probably yourself !  |

I'm going. No idea why!
The striker conumdrum will rear it's head again - I'd honestly start Berahino with Choupo/Jese and Shaq alongside him in a 433.

Arsenal will put out a weaker side due to eufa cup ...Stoke need to go for it and get stuck in them ...just don't play 3 holding centre midfielders ffs

I’m going, never been to the Emirates. Thought if it takes us another 23 years to get back, I’ll probably be dead by then😉. Looking on the bright side, if we stay up it’s another ground off the list.

Amazingly you can get slightly better than 1/3 for Arsenal to win.
Free fucking money.

Øzil is an injury doubt, will not play for Germany this week, here's for hoping...

I’m completely resigned to the fact that we’ll be playing Championship football next season, but a win away at The Emirates with Shawcross bagging the winner might take the edge off a bit.
We can but dream....

Assuming everyone's fit.... You do realise Butland is on England duty, and playing on Tuesday!! Given his luck on international breaks, we may have seen his last game in a Stoke shirt. |

Butland
Bauer BMI Zouma Pieters
Cameron Allen
Ramadan Shaq Staffy

If everyone is fit and we play well and they play crap we will only lose 0-2.

The thing is somehow we have to try and get hold of the ball for at least some of the time otherwise Arsenal goals will inevitably follow. Below are some stats from our HOME game with them, we hardly had a kick, but our goal led a charmed life and we got the win, its impossible to think we might get that lucky again so its imperative we don't concede nearly 80% possession or we will get absolutely rinsed. Stoke City 1 Arsenal 0 (19th August 2017)*Arsenal posted their highest amount of possession in a Premier League game (77.3%) since 2003-04. *Only five teams have won a Premier League game with a lower share of possession than Stoke. *The Gunners (732) attempted 520 more passes than Stoke (212) in the game. |
