This is why we can't relax or even truly enjoy any match from now til the end of the season. We always make such hard work of it. We always concede goals out of nothing.

All stemming from a foul ignored on Hazard.

Wow. Sitter.

Well, I was wrong about Oscar. Been horrific again.

So which lucky Stoke ogre will score a flukey goal today? My money is on either Charlie Adam or Jon Walters.

Probably mostly Gooner fans who think their side is full of world class players.

We know exactly why. The same reason José said he hasn't played Loftus-Cheek at all this season. He doesn't think he can trust a young, inexperienced kid down the stretch of a title run-in.

You've jinxed it now mate. They'll both get yellows.

Don't mind Oscar starting like many here do. It's Ivanovic and Cahill that bother me.

Once again would've started Luis, but good lineup. Come on, Remy!

I hate late kickoffs. Always seems like when we're the last match of the day our rivals batter shit teams and I have to sit around bored all morning. Also ruins the rest of then day if we lose after hours of anticipation.

I'm concerned because you can legitimately see them winning all of their remaining matches other than against us. They'll blow away every small team like they always do and they have now figured out how to play in the big games as well.We almost limp through most matches now even against opponents we should be hammering. We've basically been the opposite of Arsenal this season. Sensational first half and lagging a bit in since the new year. They have been the best side in the league recently. Do I think they'll catch/pass us? No, but the title certainly isn't in the bag and we can't really afford to drop ANY points against the likes of Stoke at home when we still have Arsenal, United, and Liverpool to play.

Yep, just as I predicted earlier. Massacre. Arse are definitely starting to concern me.

I'm foolishly hoping that Liverpool will win here but I can see a battering.

Any injuries for the Stokies?

Also said Sterling is "going nowhere" just like he did with Suarez.Unless they just run his contract down and let him leave on a free (which would be idiotic) then I can't see how they keep him. Looks clear he wants out.

I think ourselves and City are the only realistic destinations for him. Arsenal are already struggling to find a place for their AM's and there's no way Liverpool would sell to United. They've sold players to us in recent years and City aren't a rival of theirs. City just makes the most sense. They'll flog Navas back to Spain and Nasri is a pointless player who Sterling would displace. Can only see us being in for him if we sell one of our attacking players. Or if José wants to stick another knife in Liverpool's decaying corpse.

Yep, easily.

So he'd hypotheically play as our #10? Can't see any other spot for him.

Yep, typical Real Madrid. They'll have yet another player sitting on their bench that would start for almost any other club in Europe.

Also doesn't help when you have a dinosaur with no tactical understanding as manager.

What is essentially Italy's second team is thoroughly outplaying and beating England.

Sterling will probably hold out and run his contract all the way down and leave on a free as I doubt Liverpool will sell to a rival. He'll end up at City who will be willing to pay him obscene wages because he'll be homegrown and they'll have a young, English media darling.

Didn't stop him from destroying the PL a couple of years ago.I'd love him here. Another bonus he'd bring to our team is that he's a world class free kick taker. Would be nice if we actually had someone who's a genuine threat to score directly from free kicks around the box. Instead of just softly crossing it in with Fabregas we can have someone with a cannon for a leg that can score wonder goals. A front four with Costa, Hazard, Bale, and one of Cuadrado or Willian would be ridiculous. Pace, power, technical ability, goals, assists, creativity, and workrate. Literally no weaknesses.
