Stoke vs. Arsenal

1-3, The FA cup, Britannia Stadium, 24/1 -10
Denilson 41

A game to forget.. Except for the fact that it was Sol Campbell's first game since re-signing! (I might have forgot to mention that he re-signed for us a week or so ago)..

Stoke took the lead after just 1 minute, another Delap throw in did the damage, we didn't play too good but when we got a free kick Cesc played it to Denilson who's shot didn't let us down.
After that you could have thought that we really should be able to play some football, but we just couldn't get to our flow, and to be honest we never really looked like taking the lead.
When Arshavin, Ramsey and Eduardo all at once replaced Walcott, Coquelin and Jay-Emmanuel Thomas I thought that now we would be able to take the lead and win the shit, but it didn't make any difference and when Fuller with ten minutes left scored his second, I still hadn't given up hope, all we needed was one goal and then it would at least be a replay, but I just didn't see any fighting spirit when Whitehead was clean in front of our goal...

So we are out of the FA cup for this season, but now we must look ahead since the next fortnight or contains four highly extreme games, Aston Villa away, Man United home, Chelsea away and Liverpool home, and just after that the Champions League kicks off again!
