It's a good bench with OXO, Diaby, and Coquelin. Vela?????
Stoke Begovic, Shotton, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Crouch, Walters. Oh and the Vela thing is because the BBC are ******s
Yep. Arsenal substitutes: Fabianski, Diaby, Santos, Chamakh, Squillaci, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Coquelin via Arsenal.com twitter feed.
Just watched the Arsenal - Stoke replay from earlier this season. Gervinho MotM... ****ing African cup.
if only he had scored that penalty, i'm sure he would have been fine... btw, if u don't know, he missed the penalty that made ivory coast lose the final
Gervihno MOTM when we played them last time Ramsey had a decent 2nd half vs Chelsea and maybe coming back hee will cause him to play far better than he has this season
I would have gone with Coquelin over Ramsey - Stoke will hound us in midfield and Coquelin gives the ball away less. Still perhaps for this game, especially, Ramsey will be up for it and get the winner! As for OXO - I just dont get why Wenger wont start him.
Think it will be scrappy - we need to just get some luck. Its a long time since I felt the odds were against a win aganst Stoke!
