Morning all.

North London prepares itself for the invasion of a traveling horde of drooling orcs, Stoke City come to town. It was interesting to read Tony Pubis talk about how there's no problem between him and Arsenal, what happened in the past is in the past. Good for you, Pubis.

Can't say the same though.

Last weekend Arsenal beat the soon-to-be Champions Man United. They worked hard, played well, raised their game and deserved the three points from that game.

Yesterday, Arsenal lost 3-1 to Stoke City. They were careless, complacent, slipshod and deserved absolutely nothing from the game.

And it sums this Arsenal team in a nutshell.
