Arsenal V Stoke City | Premier League 02/02/2013

Yeah difficult to spot but the linesman was in a better position than the ref to make the call, yet he was wrong and the ref was right.

He was poor for the entire game, Theo got fauled at least 3 times right in front of him and he never raised his flag.

Theo also left a foot in versus wilkinson right in front of him and the Lino didn't do shit. What a t**t

BBC say Stoke had 53% possession - that can't be right can it?

It was 79/21 to us, I think. No way did Stoke have more than 35-40%.

[Zedie]

Maybe they were counting the time Shotton had the ball in his hands for throw ins?

Yeah, BBC always seem way off with their stats.

Just like our attendance figures.

Huh? Wrong stat by BBC. Stoke did not want to attack at all, even with 3 strikers in the last 15 minutes. In fact, this is the first time I see a team with 3 pure CFs defending so deep.

Owen should get a call from the FA for his little inbred outburst. Good performance, shame we didn't destroy them but 3pts will do nicely. Funny how having quality subs change things. Not just 1 change hey Wenger!

MOTD say something of nothing. I disagree. Owen did hit out.

Just heard tony pulis' comments after the game. "We definately deserved something from the game."....... No, you didn't. The only reason you were even still in the game was because of Begovic, a great performance from him.

"I don't know what constitutes offside these days"..... Well, considering Theo was the only one offside when the freekick was hit, and he wasn't interfering with play, nor in the keepers' line of sight, and it was your defender who the ball came off, there was no offside.

Bitter much? You short, inbred, baseball cap wearing w@nker!

A c*nt. A grade A c*nt.

I thought it really weird that MOTD didn't bother to discuss the goal considering how much controversy the linesman brought up. Very unlike them. Did they not want to embarrass the linesman?

Probably because it was a clear goal and so embarrassing that it wan't worth mentioning. Credit to Foy, both his linesmen let him down all match but he pulled through it in the end.

[Sims]

They didn't even mention Shawcunt trying to castrate Kos.

[Zedie]

Beats me. They're probably pissed they can't gush about stokes defensive solidity and that we don't like it up us, although we still dug out a win while taking some very rough challenges while the ref continually waved play on.
