Stoke City hero Jon Walters says they always had Arsenal rattled.
Arsenal consistently struggled to get results at the bet365 Stadium as they had trouble playing their free-flowing football against Stoke's abrasive style.
Recently retired Walters, speaking to talkSPORT, says he knows what the Gunners failed to produce the goods against Stoke.
He said: “We used to bully Arsenal. We knew they didn't like coming.
“There was a bit with Arsene Wenger and the crowd. The atmosphere was like nothing else.
“The Stoke fans were really up for it, they generated a great noise and Arsenal hated coming to the Britannia.
“First challenge, I'd win the ball but I'd go right through whoever I was pressing against.
“We used to not let teams out. If they wanted to play out we'd set it up so they could play out to the centre-half, but I would full-on sprint, everyone would be behind me and that just gets the crowd going.
“Once we got the crowd going, they were on the back foot."
