ponsaelius Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 What is the Dresden Stoke thing? The other week I actually thought I had confused a Newcastle fan for a Stoke fan (that's not a dig Dresden, you were just going on about Stoke a lot). They are his real team. It goes something like if his input on here is anything to go by: 1. Stoke 2. Mourinho 3. Port Vale 4. Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Surely you can only support one team. I understand people liking other teams but to genuinely 'support' more than one is bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I don't, just Sewelly and a few others who can't stand me disagreeing with the majority of plebs on here. Stoke hit the bar. Arsenal's pure footballers so shit against Stoke's rugby team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Wilshire in fourfourtwo said that he hoped Arsenal would try and shoot more, rather than constantly passing. Think he's on to something! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I can imagine it must be really fun to be a genuine Stoke fan. Knowing you've came up from the lower leagues and you're now a mid-table Premiership club, who's only real feature is terrible football that beats better teams.

ponsaelius Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The only solace that can be taken is Stoke's style of play will limit them to always be nothing more than mid-table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 At the end of the day everyone knows how they play it's not a suprise so why are these "better" teams incapable of setting themselves up to combat that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, it would depend on that plus the quality of players available, no? Love how much you hate Stoke Sewelly. Genuinely makes me smile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The new Bolton. Fair play to them they play to their strengths. How Arsenal could do with a Robert Huth though, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Arsenal really need to use the wings instead of just faffing about in the middle. Get Chamakh or Bendtner on and go 4-4-2 and mix the play up a little bit, just for once. There's been absolutely no plan b from Arsenal today.

Guest guinness_fiend Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 There is absolutely nothing redeeming about Stoke City whatsoever. Disgusting vile place, violent detestable fans, horrible w***** of a manager, turgid football and f***ing dirty b****** players. Sewelly and one other person like this. Arsenal committed more fouls in the first half and had less possession. Stoke are currently good value for their two goal lead and should be three up, but for the crossbar.

chicago_shearer Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Everyone knows exactly what Stoke are about, especially at home. So what exactly was Wenger's plan here? Wilshere, Walcott, Arshavin....all dwarves with no strength. He doesn't have a plan B for those boring weekend when you have to go to Stoke or Wolves and grind something out.

Heron Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd far rather set my team up to beat 75% of the league than just to beat a shithole team like Stoke. Nevertheless, 'champions' need to be able to mix it up, like Chelsea and Man United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate, he can develop his youngsters till the cows come home and he will never win a trophy. Continuously churning out softshite cheating sides with very little tactical flexibility will get you nowhere these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
