Stoke cvnts moaniing. Dont worry we wont have to put up­ with you guys after this season cause ur going back to­ the championship. Hows that

Arsene sure has forgotten the heady days of Dennis­ "The Elbow" Bergkamp, Tony"Oops, did I­ Kick you" Adams and Martin "Ugly as sin and­ more than a bit demented" Keown.
French Tw*t

Arsey Whinger is le coq unsportif !

I eat steak medium rare, I drink beer not wine, I comb­ my hair with a house brick and I can count to 10­ because God gave me 10 fingers( It would be 21 if I­ could see past my guts). I like good hard but fair­ football, I dont like wengers and sooks, and I love­ Stoke because they have a long proud history and are­ battlers to the end. A win for me is any point further­ from relegation and inflicting pain on the oppositions­ pride and points tally. Harden the f up Wenger, you­ probably pay your third choice keeper as much as the­ Potters pay their entire starting 11.

I am always amused when I watch Wenger complaining­ about the aspects of play employed by teams playing­ against Arsenal. He seems to have a problem with his­ eyesight at times when he often misses ann incident­ perpetrated by a member of his team. Van Persie has a­ tendency to leave his foot in or practise his diving­ techniques in the penalty area or indeed anywhere on­ the pitch where he can secure an advantage for his­ team. However he is not alone, in the Pemiership there­ are lots of players who do similar things.­ Unfortunately, the game has become dominated by big­ money and teams will do anything to remain in the­ Premiership. So Arsene, toughen up your squad and as­ well as playing the good football for which your teams­ are famous teach them to dish out some of the same­ stuff that they seem to have to put up with each week.­ and stop moaning all the time which only draws­ attention to you and your team.

as a stoke fan id like to say what a load of bollocks!­ all teams play to there strenths. stoke are a big­ phyical side who dont stop for 90 mins. evrytime we­ start to get somwhere there are haters who put us down.­ we have stayd uptwo seasons and finished 11 & 12 .­ we belong in the prem we r one of the oldest clubs in­ the country,. in 5 years stoke will be in europe . you­ dont need spend stupid amounts on players just get a­ good team that have a heart to win.

If you would like to see an outrageous tackle on a­ goalkeeper have a look at R Van Persie Arsenal v Stoke­ season before last. No doubt mard Arsen didn't see­ it. YouTube watch?v=yNPDTivssKk&NR=1

Who is George?
At a guess, sounds like one of those ­ who have stood on the North Bank stamping their feet to­ keep warm. Struggled to get to a stinking rabbit hutch­ for a piss after a pint of warm swill from a plastic­ glass under the East stand on cold concrete.. Yet not­ minding this, warmed by the very history of this most­ famous club in the world long before the Munich air­ disaster and the rise of Man Utd. Others need to have­ experienced this to understand Arsene Wenger and­ his(our) love for his club. Tactics is one thing, but­ sodomising the game another. Unfortunately there is­ always a brutus(no pun intended) the likes of fat sam­ and Pulis(not to mention phil brown and the glasgow­ bruiser at b'ham) waiting to spoil anything that­ finds them out to be nothing more than barbarians at­ the gates of rome(sorry the Emirates). If not George,­ ya hearts in the right place.

im an arsenal fan. what arseneis doing is trying to­ soften up the ref before tomorrows game. alot of­ mamagers do this before they play there bogey team.­ this complaint will put more pressure on the ref to­ stamp out the tackling in the first 15 minutes of the­ game. hes not the first manager to do this and he wont­ be the last

I would suggest that other teams stand around and­ don't put any tackles in while Arsenal go about­ their marvelous passing game. But I would sound like a­ p rick, so I won't suggest that!

will arsenal just shut up and play football the manager­ just moans that y no trophty new signings no ambition­ and fabergas no ambition to win any thing that y he­ stays let him go to barca

I'm going to say that not all arsenal fans are­ (insert expletive of choice here). I am an arsenal fan­ and very proud of my team in that we play great­ football and are very attractive to watch. However I do­ despair at the hypocrisy of Arsene "I didn't­ see it" Wenger, Arsenal were a physical side,­ although our disciplinary record was slightly affected­ by employing Patrick Vieira. I have watched Stoke in­ the past and, honestly in my opinion they are limited­ tactically and try to basically kick teams out of the­ game, saw them at Chelsea last year in the FA cup and­ despite being amused by the away fan's chants aimed­ at John Terry found them tedious on the pitch and­ lacking in any flair or creativity.
Now, Wenger is a­ fantastic manager however he has made some wrong­ decisions in the past, as have all managers but so has­ Tony Pulis. Shawcross broke Francis Jeffers' leg a­ few years ago, and Aaron Ramsey has had his leg broken­ in an incident with Shawcross. I personally haven't­ watched the incident as I don't particularly enjoy­ watching legs break.
Football needs discipline in the­ same way Rugby does. If only the captain was allowed to­ talk to the referee then life would be so much simpler,­ it is technically descent to argue with the referee a­ bookable offence I think?
If the fifth official is­ introduced I wonder how well Stoke will do then seeing­ as their exploits in the penalty area are well­ documented.
So can we please stop with the pointless­ name-calling and agree that Arsenal and Stoke are two­ very different teams with very different managers and­ have very different ideas about how football should be­ played. Ruthless efficiency or continental flair?­ It's a question that will be debated until one­ philosophy wins out. Look at Inter v Barca at the nou­ camp in the champo league semi-final last year.
So can­ we please agree to disagree and look forward to the­ fixtures at the Brittania and the Emirates and­ hopefully two very ente

i am sure someone else will have already said this but­ here goes
i presume wenger is referring to last years­ stoke vs arsenal at the brittania
sorry to say he does­ have a point the referee was awful he let to many­ potential bookings go there should have been at least 5­ or 6 yellow cards and at least 1 red for sol campbell­ before the ramsey incident and at least 1 more for sol­ after having been there watching the match it seemed­ the ref had been told both teams where determined to­ play "the phyisical game" and to let them get­ on with it
as for ramsey i can only hope he is going­ to make a full recovery and return to top flight­ football a better player and for his sake and all the­ other gunners i hope they have a better more honest and­ much more caring manager
i will explain
the spattering­ of yellow cards where deserved by both teams fouls­ where been commited by both sides and a few yellows­ would have calmed things also it was blatently obvious­ wenger had instructed his players to go in hard ......­ the result ramsey who if you care to look you will find­ broke his leg before contact was made the pictures are­ there for all to see its clear also the video of the­ game is about ... now i respect all football fans but­ come on you arsenal fans was wenger really playing his­ normal tactics i think not
and lets be honest if youve­ got skillful players why ask them to play the hard game­
because arsenal on form should play stoke off the­ pitch
but the truth is wenger got it wrong and all­ this stuff and nonsense about rugby is just him trying­ to cover his failure to get his tactics right
out of 3­ matches at the brit arsenal lost 1 humiliatingly drew 1­ and ruined a playerin last years meet

so mr wenger­ either grow a pair and admit you got it wrong 3 times­ or at the very least do right by your players and let­ them play properly .....stop the winging and wining­ admit you made mistakes or if just if stoke where to­ beat you you are going to look very stupid

Oh how I would love to see rugby rules applied to­ football.

When a foul is declared by the referee,­ players must move away or else the foul is moved ten­ yards forward.

Question the referee, ten yards­ forward.

Foul or abusive language, ten yards­ forward.

Dirty/foul play, sin binned for a­ period.

That would bringmany of the prima donna­ players and managers back to the real world.
