To top off the popular strategy of giving Arsenal as many chances as they need to score by refusing to exit your own half, Stoke sub off their goalscorer.
Being fiscally responsible is a bad thing, is it? Good luck shifting Arnautovic and his six figure salary when he flames out...
'On the one hand, there are the aristocrats. Manchester City, naturally' That one statement says all you need to know about that horrid little woman and her sense of value!
Stoke are ****ing dreadful. There's no other words appropriate for how bad they are. They look unfit and have no idea how to defend and even less how to attack.....and they beat The Gooners. I'll bet Sanchez is impressed. Hilarious.
It was on the cards that they would beat them as Arsenal leaked three goals at home last week so were obviously weak at the back. Handball in the build up and an offside goal last week won it for Arsenal. Stoke often get one over a poor performing Arsenal and last week and this week were both poor performances.

Some red cards are debatable - not this one. You can see the impact on his neck and some really serious damage could have been done. This is an instance when a 3 game ban is insufficient
By that logic, if I won the EuroMillions does that mean I automatically get room and board at Buckingham Palace? Because that's the best description of the "aristocratic" Man City...
The past 48 hours has been pretty **** for Alexis. Demoted to now being known as the second best Sanchez in North London and has just witnessed a terrible result for the side he's so desperately seeking an exit from. This poor result just shows their over-reliance on him and may now cost him a move elsewhere as they'll be even more desperate to hang on.
Deep breaths, and here we go ... "“On the one hand, there are the aristocrats. Manchester City, naturally" Regains composure. Continues ... "And on the other hand, there are the bargain hunters like Tottenham" And on the other hand, there are the clubs like Tottenham who sign quality players at reasonable prices, and not only do their performances raise the competitiveness of the team, but they also become worth much more than the value they were signed at. Phew, only one (I have a full bladder at the moment) .
Dear 'That Brady Woman', Dele Alli and Eric Dier, together, cost less than Robert Snodgrass. Mull that over in your mind for a while. With mocking laughter. The Bargain Hunters.
