FA Cup weekend and midweek Prem Games up to the 27th **SPOILERS**

[Agadoo]

I'm impressed old man Campbell has made the 90minutes, its a story to tell the grandkids, when he gets home.

 

[MrMoonX]

what a shocker, defending is shocking 3 easy goals that could have been stopped

 

[dante6491]

Stoke have been brilliant. Is Thomas for Arsenal normally any good? Because he looked completely dire today.

Was his first senior match this season or something.

RE: post above yours, I though Campbell has played quite well all things considered.

It is so symptomatic of Arsenal of recent years. When they play well it's the greatest football ever, but when they don't they barely look better than a Championship side.

About bloody time.
Arsenal were always our bogey team in the 70s losing to them at Hillsborough and Everton in the FA Cup.
Can't believe I had a season ticket from 1970 until 2007 and now I'm missing Premiere football.

 

[zophiel]

missing long throws and thug football nah not missing much

 

[MofoKilla]

lol the arsenal

 

[Andybtsn]

Chelsea's this year then

 

[MR_Punk]

Well it looks like we are gonna have to focus on the league and Champs league - maybe its a blessing in disguise but with Liverpool and Man UTD out this was a very winnable competition.

 

[BFCTom]

No respect shown to the cup or to Stoke with the first team selection really. Can't say they've been badly done to either, Stoke have deserved it.

Might turn out to be a bit of a blessing with the fixtures the way they've dropped, but still disappointing to go out of the FA cup - no matter what anyone says.

 

[CliffyBiro]

lol Arsenal

 

[Soviet]

Great stuff!

 

[mrbios]

Chelsea's this year then

Don't be daft, leeds are going to knock them out once we're done with tottenham

 

[Spunj99]

Knew Tunny would mess with their tired defence, shame he wasn't brought on 5 minutes earlier.

Even with the decisions against us never looked like conceding really, Arsenal goal was fortuitous to say the least.

There's only 1 person to blame for Arsenal's result today: Wenger. He chose one of the worst defences he could put out, and it cost him big time. Campbell and Silvestre looked awful all day long. No pace, and the stoke forwards were getting behind them all day long. That right back for Arsenal was a horrible choice too, constantly made mistakes and clearly wasn't ready to mix it with the big boys.

Well done Stoke, I only caught the 2nd half but everyone played well - I just hope it doesnt cost them dear in regards to the EPL

I didn't think Campbell did that much wrong, but otherwise I'd agree.

 

[Spunj99]

Without Campbell's presence today they would have had a lot more problems with the aerial threat of big Mama & Fuller.

He cut out a lot of opportunities.

 

[Deiwos]

He was far too slow to react to most of the movement from Stoke. I'm surprised he lasted the full 90mins, but then he didn't have much choice, courtesy of Wengers excellent triple substitution.

 

[Liefrich]

ITV camera work for this game is shoddy.

Because he's not a Right Back maybe Two goals came when he was off the pitch too.
