There was no sarcasm in my post.
No problem mate - probably the mood i was in when i was reading (i.e., pissed off with Fabianski and Wenger).

I'm sure Foster can become a very, very good goal keeper, but maybe not for a big club.
I know a very good young and relatively cheap GK for English clubs (come to think of it Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal all need a new keeper the following years. It's more urgent for Arsenal but both other clubs could also do with a good young keeper).
They should buy Logan Bailly from Borussia Mönchengladbach. A very, very big talent. People here in Belgium say that he has the talent to become the best Belgian keeper ever and it the past we had Preudhomme, Pfaff and Piot, all extremely talented keepers.
On top of that Bailly has played for years in the same defense as Vermaelen with Belgian national youth teams...
Arsenal muuuuussssssssssssst buy Lorik Cana next summer!!!
Sympathy penalty?
EDIT: And he didn't even give one for the push.![]()
This whole culture of intimidating, bullying and being over physical with Arsenal has been seen as normal by everyone. No one likes Arsenal and that becomes more and more clear.
Stoke always play that physical.
That's why i was outraged with Pulis' reaction.
IMO Shawcross is not to blame.
But the fact that Arsenal players are targeted is utter bollocks. "Everybody is against us" is ridiculous because Arsenal are simply not important enough...
I think most people will know by now that althoug i'm Spurs fan, i love Arsenal's football and that i think Wenger is the most important foreigner transfer in the histroy of English football...but stop being paranoid...that's ridiculous.
I'm the first to agree that if Arsenal wins the league it will be good for football, but stop having self pity.
Stoke is playing physical against every team.
It's true that i never watch Arsenal "live"...but i watch them every week. Just like the horror tackle on Eduardo, this an isolated and very deplorable incident.
Why would Arsenal be more hated than Man Utd, Liverpool or Chelsea?
Here in Europe we have the impression that Arsenal is every football fan's second favourite team in England. It's true that we don't follow the club as close as you. But this gives us the chance to put things in perspective. A perspective that you guys clearly lack in this matter.
A couple of weeks ago i got positive comments because as a self declared Spurs fan i said that Arsenal plays the best football in the world. I think all of you would have said that i was very objective then (of course i wasn't). Now i'm saying (with as much objectivity) that you have to stop the self pity and of course that does not goes down very well. I don't care...
Am i talking bullshit: yes, we all do in threads like this.
I agree with Wenger when he says that tackles like this and exagerated physical play must stop. I don't agree when people say that Arsenal are targeted and that they suffer more than other teams..technical players (which Arsenal have in abundance) should be more protected than others however (but then there is the diving too...). Stoke fans could also say that Arsenal attracts more tackles by their way of playing very technical "futsal" football. Of course that is also "utter bollocks" (with all respect).
If i've offended anyone by saying something is "utter bollocks" then will apologize: sorry. This was only used as a figure of speech, not to implicate that somebody is stupid.If this is sounding too harsh, then it was not because i wanted it to be, but because as a non-native speaker i have no idea it would offend people
