[b]Sunday’s 1-0 win over Manchester United means that Arsenal can still, mathematically, win the title.That remains only a slim hope after the Gunners ended a run of three games – and two points – without a victory.Arsenal have lost six games yet only Manchester United (4) have lost fewer in this most unpredictable of season.They have the best away record in the Premier League with 30 points and 36 goals.Arsenal need two goals two equal their record number of away goals in the Premier League and three to beat the 38 they netted on the road during the 2002-03 season.When the teams met last season at the Britannia Stadium Arsenal won 3-1 – wending a sequence of four successive losses at Stoke.But it was memorable for the injury sustained by Aaron Ramsey in a challenge with Ryan Shawcross.

Shawcross was sent off for the challenge which saw Ramsey suffer a serious double leg break in the game, in February 2011, and the Welshman did not return feature in a first-team game for Gunners until March.Now, though, he is back to his best and scored the winner against United.Arsenal test captain Cesc Fabregas, who missed the win over United with a thigh strain.Arsène Wenger tests Samir Nasri, who damaged a thigh muscle against United.Thomas Vermaelen has an outside chance of returning but Abou Diaby, Lukasz Fabianski and Abou Diaby are all missing.Stoke miss Matthew Etherington, Ricardo Fuller, Danny Higginbotham, and Mamady Sidibé.

Arsenal all the wayyyyy!!! The team responsible for opening the title race!!

We jus so awful defending setpieces. Djourou is A̶̲̥̅̊ wastepipe.

Sometimes i wonder if this is arsenal FC or Niger Tonados. Even Nasarawa United will do better. Haba!!!!!!
This is becoming embarassing to be honest. The best thing to do this arsenal team is to relegate them to League 1
so that they will start winning from there if they can. leaving them in EPL will not help their confidence at all.

If your so called best defender is a wastepipe i wonder what other of your defenders are. Djourou and other of your defenders can start a game at Spurs or Everton that sums up what arss are.

Dumb subs by AW. Even tho ramsey And arshavin have been piss poor, what good about bringing Charmack And Bendtner? Charmack shouldn't even be wearing A̶̲̥̅̊ arsenal shirt anymore

I jus talked about charmac And see what he did.

Arsenal players literally getting away with murder. They could have been 4-0 down easily if 2 penalties have been given and I have seen 3.

You seen three penalties. You must be watching †нє match on A̶̲̥̅̊ transistor radio

Dont know how some pple will still have the confidence in defending these arss players as not being bottlers' it lends credence to what buntu and proudly9ja's assertions. Am not talking bout winning and going top.

^^
With all †нє 'bottling', some arsenal players have been phenomenal. Wishere, sagna, song, And RvP play their hearts out And U̶̲̥̅̊ can't just condemn them all.
