What about the 5-0 thrashing at the Vic? As a youngster (12) in the Stoke End it's a great early memory as a fan. Truly a wonderful crushing - capped by the brilliant Terry Conroy wonder goal. I can see it now and I remember it on MOTD - the Arse really didn't know whether to have a shit, shave or a haircut at the final whistle. I wonder how the lemon sherbert-sucking Whinger would handle that today?

Head says Arsenal 3 Stoke 0, but Heart says Arsenal 1 Stoke 2. I go for the Heart.

I hope we don't have a weak starting lineup I want a real intent for hughes' starting 11. If Crouch or someone like WP starting I'm going to lose it when I turn on the match.

If we score first will their crowd turn on them? I would have thought they would get their handbags out straight away in that scenario.
Arsenal do look full of goals at the moment though

Rewind to 2011: Stoke 3 Arsenal 1.
The goalscorers that day for us were Pennant, Jones and Walters.
It was at the Brit and a counter attacking 442, but I'd be happy with that as a starting front 3 on sunday. With the potential to bring Arnautovic off the bench. The rest of the team seems to be picking itself. I'd go for Adam over Ireland, and Wilson before Palacios.
I've been impressed with the pressing and probing play, and the way MH utilises the bench. He may be a bit more conservative though after Saturday's Huth scare.

Heart says we could nick it. Head says we'll lose 2-0, but put in a valiant effort.

The only thing we need from this game is more of the same, weather we win draw or lose at this stage of the season I don't see as vital, however how we play and compete is everything.
1-1 would be nice.

It'll be tough. The are playing well and moving the ball about nicely. The defence will have to be really switched on but I can see us scoring.

Think we may get a bit of a reality check here to bring us back to earth. But if we can put on a good attacking performance and not get dicked I will be happy, a draw over the moon and a win I will thrap over the pitch.

In the 1st min.Ryan should run at Ramsey like a demented Idiot,Ramsey would cack himsen and will want to subbed. Sounds like a plan.

I'd go with: Begovic Cameron Huth Ryan Pieters Wilson Nzonzi Adam Walters Jones Arnautovic Subs: Sorro Muniesa Ireland Assaidi Crouch Pennant Whelan I think it will be this except etherington on the bench in place of assaidi.

One thing for absolute certain, it is a very poignant game for Aaron "Rambo" Ramsey. Very poignant indeed.

Bego Cameron Huth Shawcross Pieters Nzonzi Adam Wilson Arnie Jones Ethers (if fit) Swap Ethers for Walters preferably, Assaida second choice (Ethers unfortunately not been doing the business since before Wembley final)

Bego Cameron Huth Shawcross Pieters Nzonzi Adam Wilson Arnie Jones Ethers (if fit) This must be the lineup. Nothing else will suffice. We need to go for this. They've got injuries, fitness problems, and Ozil is not 100%, still suffering illness I heard. Let's go for it. COME ON!!!

Love how the thread ignores it and puts forward some great commentary Anyway Just can't wait for the game to come - such tension in the build up... :-( Obviously team wise we have had a lot of stoke suggestions but i think Arsenal will put out: Szcz?sny Sagna BFG Kos Gibbs Ramsey Flamini Walcott Ozil Wilshere Giroud Bench: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Monreal, Arteta, Vermaelen Looking at the bench if Arsenal get ahead then it will be parking the bus time.. however no attacking changes there really...

If I could pick one of the so called "big boys" to beat then this would be it!! God do I hate Arsenal!! A performance close to last week will give us every chance, they will let us have the ball and this could be their undoing. We are a completely different animal this season, bring it on!.

I'm just hoping that the terminal waste of space, Walters, doesn't start. Yes he runs non-stop, but beyond that he's fucking useless.

Stoke to win 3-1. Ramsey sent off for 2 yellows (1 late challenge, 1 play acting)
