Stoke vs. Arsenal

1-3, Premier League, Britannia Stadium, 8/5 -11
van Persie 81

A very dismal display from the team today, it seemed as though we never truly showed up for the game in the end...
But we can be really proud of our striker RvP, who has now scored in his last eight away games! With his goal today he extended the record he earned two weeks ago to eight, which is quite something!

Stoke scored twice in the first half and for the second half both Chamakh and Bendtner came on to give us something special, but it wasn't to be today.
As mentioned it was a really poor display and even though we got back in it after van Persie's great strike we pretty much at once found ourselves two-goals down again.

There really isn't too much more to say about this game, I just hope that we will come up with a much better game next sunday, as I'll be at the Emirates then! I go to London on friday, and will return to Sweden on monday night.

Injury Update;
-Vermaelen was on the bench today, hopefully he'll play next week.
-Fabregas and Nasri both missed this game, but I hope they'll be back for the Villa game, especially the captain, as he was injured last time I went to the Emirates as well!
