Stoke goal: Incredible start by Stoke, and a very soft goal for Arsenal to concede. Rory Delap's long throw sails over a crowd of player and Ricardo Fuller beats a hesitant Lukasz Fabianski to the ball and stoops to head it into the top corner of the net. The Potters lead, after just 70 seconds.

I was expecting something better still a good goal but Lamberts free kicks have been better I think

Well I dont because although Thomas is defending well at the moment he usually does nothing much constructive with the ball Pardew has only recently put Thomas at RB after Hammonds injury

I thought according to you James was a great provider of goals

Because his distribution is usually not good perhaps

I thought he had another injury as he did not play against Luton from the OS Saints have taken up the option to bring back the defender at short notice ahead of the visit of Luton Town in the F.A Cup to bolster the number of defenders available to Alan Pardew this weekend. Speaking earlier today, the Saints manager confirmed that there were a few concerns ahead of Saturday's game which have led to the decision. "David Connolly and Radhi Jaidi are doubtful. It leaves us short at the back because Neal Trotman is also unavailable. However, in front of the back four we've got plenty of options," Pardew explained.

Yes that is the problem I think that was Jaidi first game this year so he may rest him for Saturday

We will have to wait and see the only definite one is Fonte I would have thought but it is a nice problem to have

I like Waigio but having seen him play LM I dont think that is his position and I think Holmes has a lot to prove

So what is Pardew going to chose for the defence at Brentford Davis Otsemobor Fonte Seaborne Harding or he could have Bart Thomas Jaidi Perry Mills or any other combination

Holmes instead of Waigio perhaps?

Plus there is VAT to be paid as well

Well I suggest that you stop reading this forum if you cannot accept other peoples points of view . That said I am not sure how we really played today because of the various views of posters However as one of the better League 1 teams it was not a real surprise to have beaten one of the poorer CCC sides but what interests me is what team Pardew will put out on Tuesday and then on Saturday from the comments made on here Mills Thomas and Jaidi are certain to start but somehow I doubt if all three will start

Just coming to the end of his career was probably a very good league 1 player when he was younger seems like Perry to be a good old pro

Will be interesting if Thomas Jaidi and Mills play at Brentford dont think Perry will Could be Otsemobor Fonte Seaborne Harding The back four against Millwall

Possibly 1976 Wembley?

Yes but dont forget he is only 19

Not good in the League though MK Dons Millwall and Bristol Rovers all winning but Very Good at St Mary's

I will never know will I

What at surely not football? Darts Possibly or Bar Billiards

You must be joking

Not really sure if I am bothered about this game really but as I am going up to the Ipswich area next weekend I suppose we better win. Jaidi in for Fonte Harding for Mills if better Then no idea because Pardew will have another little tinker with the midfield and attack

I did not think that Ormerod was as good as that Not sure Pardew is going to play them much together

No maybe a great signing no one knows at the moment how he will perform

They won the Second Division that Season and the First the next or soon after - Sir Alf was the manager
