Excellent performance. Stoke are a difficult team to play at the Britannia. I think it was proved that they have the loudest fans (?) and it makes for an intimidating atmosphere. Save for two 5-minutes periods, one of which ended with Crouch's hand-ball goal which he celebrated knowing he intentionally hand balled it, we were well on top and the win was fully deserved- even though the stats don't seem to reflect the dominance. Oezil, Alexis and Monreal were very good but Nacho needs to work on his finishing! Ha
Alexis Sanchez signalled to come off. Arsene Wenger turned down his request and kept him on & then he scored! Just stating facts. WengerIn or WengerOut?
HAHAHAHA Stoke! And how many fouls did Stoke commit in the build-up to Crouch's handball goal? Monreal was great as well, since he's played at wingback he's been defending and attacking well
1-1 or Stoke 2-1
Arsenal didnt win any of the last six matches at Bet365 Stadium.
Mike Dean referreed 40 Matches for Arsenal in the EPL since Nov 2004, the stats for Arsenal in these matches are: W10 D18 L12 ... has awarded 72 Yellow Cards and 6 Red Cards...
Arsenal players will be tired they had 2 days to prepare for this match after just playing on the 10th against southampton and 2 away games in a row in such a short time period wont be easy ,so i see stoke winning or draw likely. Giroud getting a headed goal is also likely.

@Red_Card- It is still a WengerOut for me.
How does Coquelin have 0 interceptions? He definitely had at least 2.

Cech, Mustafi, Koscielny, Holding, Bellerin, Coquelin, Xhaka, Monreal, Oezil, Alexis, Giroud.

@Hany365- I'm surprised we managed to win 10.
@SteveHyland probably he hates the opponents of these 10 more.
@Hany365- Ha, yeah probably.

Mike Dean in charge, Stoke is bound to receive favourable decisions. He hates Arsenal and is also a classic "home team' referee.
@Overmars Machiavellian from the referees' association, those bastards will stop at nothing.
Stoke 1 - 1 Arsenal
