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 ! Certainly sounds like my last visit I did swerve the queue for the tube mind, it's far quicker to walk to Kings Cross or Euston in my experience.

Is this the match thread? It's Thursday afternoon and it was languishing on page 2... The apathy has well and truly set in hasn't it... Well I don't really give a fuck what the team is because the season is gone, but I have a strange, certainly unjustified, musik-style premonition that we might get something in this game. Amid all the cheerlessness and gloom maybe the players will surprise us a bit after the break, get a shit scuffed goal from someone unexpected (Badou? Rama?) and then batten down the hatches for a freak double over a big club (no sniggering) in a relegation year. Arse are in almost as much of a funk as we are, they're fairly certain to finish 6th and aren't really interested in the PL any more. Their focus will be on their Europa QF in four days' time. Might even rest a few first-teamers. It's a desperate dream but it would be nice to have some small triumph to quietly cheer as we slope solemnly out of the division... Goooarn Stoke.

How about just putting a team out that has a bloody go. 99 out of 100 we'll probably get dicked with a gungho approach. But it only takes that 1 time........

"Stay in the game for as long as possible" will be Lambert mantra, as with every match. FFS let's take them by surprise and have a go at them-their defending is possibly worse than ours, AS LONG AS we put them under some pressure instead of cowering on the edge of our own area!

Right now I am finding work a lot more satisfying than reading/posting on the Oatcake. Nowt to say really, is there?

I am willing to cut Lambert some slack because Arse are no where near as good as ManC and he had a plan that sorta worked.

Happy hunting ground for us Who's going? What kind of team would everyone go for? Sat in the home end with a mate, it's going to be vile Just to make us nostalgic, I got tickets of a mate in their executive boxes in that 1st year back in the promised land. What a great day that was, the sun, the pre match beers, the gay abandon, the beers, Ricardo's goal, doing a mental in their end & realising there were plenty of other exuberant Stokies in with us pi$$!ng off the gooners, the post match beers... We were younger, stronger & fitter in them days...

I think we just need a formation to get the four wins we need even if we take a.beating as usual we need to have a go.

We are definitely one of the worst 3 teams in the prem this season
There will be no miracle escape, we will not get any surprise wins against Liverpool, arsenal or Tottenham
I'd be surprised if we even get one more win before this dismal season is finally over

Sums up football Some cunt who probably lives just outside Cambridge but 'supports' Arsenal and has no real affinity or association with the club digging up a story that is totally warped in that it fails to see how Arsenal and Arsene Wenger manipulated a situation to suit their own agenda by vilifiyimg a player who at worst made a strong tackle,in a football match, We now have the icing on the cake as we have to go there and take abuse from these glory hunters and suffer the taunts of 'going down' etc when at the final whistle they will all nip off for Sunday lunch with grandmama whilst we (who live breath and sleep our local team) struggle to get home suffering the added ignominy of knowing that as far as they are concerned they have seen the back of our poxy little club in the greatest league in the world. Fuck me Sunday really will require at least a half a lager to stiffen us up before kick off !

Is the best we can hope for 0-0 as we cant score in an open net with our crack team of bumbling fools up front.

Good luck, Stoke. We're 5 points behind the 6th-placed Gunners and you could help us close the gap.

I think we should really confuse them by starting with only nine.

You'd rather watch a ferry 😂😉 I just hope Cech plays as badly as he did at Brighton. I hope that Butland plays a blinder and we magically keepma clean sheet. I live in hope. I remember going to Liverpool one Boxing Day around 1970 and Banks played a blinder and we drew 0-0 so wonders may happen. I will crack open a bottle of bubbly on the ferry from St Malo tomorrow if we get a point and offer somebody a holiday at my home here on a reasonable donation!!!!
