Other Premier League games this weekend

[Esky]

Fantastic from Pennant. Is Roberto in the crowd?

And off the bar from Walters. Never thought I'd say it but Stoke are making Arsenal look like a pub team.

2 Nil stoke

[DelaBlue]

2 nil stoke so wished we had won yesterday

[Dameerto]

That's such a crap stadium - I hate stadiums that are open at the corners.

[LeanneIsABlue..x]

Stoke worry me :(

[sweeneymcfc]

after watchin stokes first half i think next week we need to attack them and get at them down the wings if we sit back and play it cagey we will get a hammering

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Stoke worry me :(

They make me a little bit sad inside

Got a feeling I'll be even worse this time next week.

[Ted Hughes]

That's one of the worst halves of football I've seen from an Arsenal team in decades. What a pity we blew it yesterday.

Stoke look ready to go into the final.

They are playing very confident football and they all seem to know their roles.

Next week won't be easy and im thinking without tevez we will have a very very hard time trying to get a goal against them.

No mate, we're better off without Tevez don't you know?

Two bits of evidence for what to expect next weekend - Song's ripped shirt, and Huth being on 9 goals for the season.

[Ted Hughes]

If we play our own game, like we did 1st half v Everton & defend properly against the up & under, like we didn't 2nd half v Everton, we will beat Stoke.

It's up to us. I think today's dismal showing by the surrender monkeys is good, as it leaves the potential big heads in our squad in no doubt that they will need to be at their best for the final. Complacency shouldn't now be an issue.

Well he's going off injured now. Add him to Fuller and Etherington as question marks for next week.

[Dameerto]

It's their setpieces that concern me, not so much the throws but the corners.

[ashton287]

i was hoping pennant would get a red for his reaction then.

[Dameerto]

Huth to have a scan tomorrow, Stoke don't think it will rule him out of the final though. (Arse just pulled a goal back too)

[Dameerto]

Stoke make it 3-1 immediately

[Original Dub]

These cunts worry the shit out of me - they're in top form lately... 12 goals in their last 5 games and unbeaten.

Hmmm...

To be fair though, the only decent opposition they've come up against is Arsenal today?

They've had Blackpool, Wolves, Villa and Bolton??

We lost against two of them teams mate.

[patrickblue]

It's a bit of a worry seeing as we seem to take an Arsenal type approach in the last third. Still we have got a proper defence and keeper, which Arse lack. We really need to be a bit more direct against them.
TBH losing yesterday is the pisser, 3rd was there for the taking.
