Let's try not to repeat 1985....

Yes some of you may struggle to remember that long ago but that was when we last played Stoke City in a league match. As was our style in those days (Arsenal weren't that good in early/mid 80s) we managed to lose to a team that finished with a whole 17 points that season (winning just a mere 3 games)!!!

Looking at some of the stories this morning and the resulting blog comments, it would seem that many think we will win but it will be a struggle and a 1-0 (Delap throw of course) defeat would not seem to be out of the question. That, in a nutshell, sums us up this season - we could play sublime and beautiful football today but be undone by a combination of poor defending or just not being "up for it".
