anyway i say 3-0 Arsenal

Come on you gooners !
 
Hoping Arsenal win so they are cocky and arrogant playing against another "physical side" on sunday

although... in a none injury, none malicious way, put your foot in Stoke! ^^)
 
Do you think Shawcross will get booed if he plays?

As i think some will and some wont
 
Hope Stoke gets something from this game. I wont rule them out. There is so much between Stoke and Arsenal than just 3 points. Both teams will be motivated and hoping for some good game. Won't be surprised if Wilshere do something silly and gets sent off.
 
If we do manage the win I don't think it'll be a big one. 2-1 is my prediction.
 
My Team​

Schzenzy
Sagna Djourou Squlacci Clichy
Wilshere Song
Nasri Fabregas Walcott
Chamakh​
 
I say Arsenal is in good form (beating Barca and Wolves) and I want them to win cause if they they will be on just 1 point to Manchester. But the shock they had against Leyton may cause some trouble.
 
Arsenal 3-0 Stoke

Stoke won't know what'***** them after an early Arsenal goal and then Arsenal will just cruise to a win, but the game getting marred by someone getting stretchered off.

Don't know why, but it's not on TV and it's an important match - that's what usually happens.
 
2-1.

Wilshere tap in
Theo Walcott

Stoke Throw-in bundled into the net.
 
This thread was created by a Arsenal/ Tottenham fan [amongst other things] so how does that work exactly? Are you hoping for a draw or something...?

On topic, I don't care about the result.. Although if Stoke win we will have to listen to Arsenal fans crying for a few days about how Stoke were mean and the referee was just a silly man! Honestly, I'd rather not have the hastle.

No, I'm hoping Arsenal to win, as Spurs IMO aren't even near the title, and tbh if Spurs WOULD be close to the title, I'd still support Arsenal in this game.
 
Want Stoke to win but can't see it happening in all truth.
3-0 to Arsenal with Wilshere , Fabregas(Pen) and Chamakh to get the goals
 
with Van persie out and chamakh not scoring great I might say 2-0 at most.
