Arsenal vs. Stoke

2-0, Premier League, Emirates, 5/12 -09
Arshavin 26,
Ramsey 80

A priceless win, perhaps not the most convincing win, but a priceless win nonetheless..
Arshavin was playing in the central role, since Eduardo picked up a muscular injury in training, and he was good in the role, perhaps not his ideal role, but he had lot's of good chances and earned a penalty for us! Of course he scored as well, but Fabregas took the penalty, and Sorensen made a good block, but it was Arsenal from beginning to end.

It really wasn't the skippers' day though.. Apart from the penalty that was blocked, he had a shot that was cleared off the goal-line, by Eboue! It was just pure, sheer unluck for us.. But at least Fabregas got the assist for Arshavins' goal, and he did some great stuff, so it wasn't all doom and gloom, but the entire team hasn't found the smooth lately.. I certainly hope that they will for the Liverpool game, we can't afford any more losses.. But some good news is that Chelsea lost against Man City last night!
Ramsey finished it up for us, with a great solo performance!

So next team up is Olympiacos, for the youngsters probably, since we're already done for the first place.

Injury Update;
-Like i said, Eduardo has picked up a thigh problem, he might be back for the Liverpool game though.
-Rosicky picked up a groin problem in the first half of the game, and the boss says he will be out for a while, so more trouble on the injury front..
-Gallas also picked up a injury, but it doesn't look to serious, the same thing goes to Traore and Eboue, there's a big chance that the three of them will be back for Liverpool though..
