We must wake up. Cannot afford to give poor goals away ( let alone 2!! ) against top teams like Arsenal, they create enough without us helping them.

Brilliant bit of crafty from Ozil then he fucks his pass up!

Regardless of result we are having an off day
At least we are p,aying a good team instead of one of our rivals but the intent is still there.
Not much you can do or moan about

Every touch Charlie Adams gives the ball away. He thinks he has loads of time but doesn't. He needs to get the basics right. He'd be lucky to get into the local pub team the way he's playing. I know mate, granted I am not his biggest fan anyway but he is woeful so far today

We're very much second best. Still in the game though. Adam off at half time has to happen, he's been bloody awful.

How the fuck didn't Adam get to that clearance from the keeper?
Slow and heavy legged would be an understatement.

He had done what is needed when asked. Good to see him getting some crucial challenges in defence too. Hit the post with a cracking volley for our goal, rebound to Cameron to scote

Mertesacker goes into the back of Jones - no foul. Huth does the same to Giroud - foul.
Half time - not bad. But for two individual errors on set pieces, we could be up right now.

anyone reading the BBC updates? It must be an Arsenal fan writing the summary of our game as apparently every tackle by Stoke is evil.
I fucking hate this fixture every year they really are the most annoying scum fans
"Erik Pieters almost tears the shirt off the back of Arsenal's Serge Gnabry in his attempt to dispossess the German down by the Stoke corner flag. Pieters looks shocked when the decision goes against him, but I think the referee probably feared a charge of indecent exposure had the tussle gone on any longer."

A strange game, I thiought? Tempo is quite slow (I guess that just might be our change of style). As ever, Arse can attack but can't defend. Given our new found trick of scoring away from home, you could easily see us gettiong another ... But whether we can keep Arse out for the next 45 is less certain.
A trio of individual mistakes has cost us two goals. But I think Arse have been on top for much of that half. A little spell around our goal, but other than that they have bossed it.
We look a little, nervous ... something like that. A couple look knackered as well!
Still 2-1 at HT so it isn't all over ... Ireland for Adam at HT, as a few have said (will be on 60 mins though).

A mixture off good and bad.
N'Zonzi and Cameron playing well, Kenwyne and Walters totally anonymous and Charlie Adam, jesus he's bloody terrible!

Dreadful first half, not enough players forward and it feels like a friendly so far, walking pace. Awful spectacle for the premiership.
