It’s impossible to mention Stoke City away without recalling February 27, 2010. It’s there and will always be there, hanging over this fixture. That said, I can’t add anything to this topic that hasn’t already been said…so let’s move on to the present.
We all know what Stoke City are going to do. They are going to defend and they are going to try to kick Arsenal off the pitch. All of their attacks will come either through Crouch (he scares me) or one of Delap’s stupid throws. One thing we won’t have to contend with is the rather square face of Dean Whitehead as he is suspended for being sent off vs Reading. Stoke will probably be unchanged other than that, with likely either Wilson Palacios or the aforementioned Delap taking his place.
