A bad day at the office. It happens. Let's move on. And yes, I'm as pissed off as anyone. Probably more than the young uns who were not around in the early 70's. I hate losing to Arsenal with a passion. Bastards!!!! OS. fucking hell....the difference when Pulis isn't the manager eh..... x OS.

It's not one to linger on and my eyes are already on next Saturday but outplayed I can take. Outfought is where the anger stems from.

Every newspaper preview I read suggested "Stoke wan't make it easy for Arsenal". Not so. Sadly I do not think we turned up. In fact the limp performance echoed exactly what Arsenal were accused of at the Brit only a few weeks ago. An Arsenal season ticket holder texted me at half time and said that if we got a goal "this paranoid lot will crumble - I've seen it so many times." My response was "Possibly - but we will not score". Many of us could have kept goal for them yesterday. It would not have changed the outcome.

I was shocked at how many 50/50's we lost against players we laugh about for being weak. Shawcross aside, I can't think of a single player who came out looking good. Even our subs were shit.

As long as we learn the lessons from it.
