This is how I think it'll go...
First 10 minutes: The atmosphere is immense, Stoke are well on top and pile to pressure on Bolton. A great start!
10-30: Bolton grow into the game, it's tense. Chances at either end.
30-45: Bolton score. Gary Cahill hoofs the ball up, Davies flicks it to Elmander who knocks it back across to Davies who scores. Commentators state who they play like Brazil.
45-60: Another Pulis half time team talk drives Stoke on to get an equaliser. Robert Huuuuth after some great wing play from Pennant gains a corner. Huth rises to nod in!
60-80: Again, each team settles into the half, chances either end. Delilah rings out again! Deafening.
80-90: Stoke hearts broken. 87th minute and Lee Chung Young fires a shot into the bottom corner. Silence!
90-93: In added time, Jermaine Pennant bombs down the wing, whips a cross in, it's a mis-hit but the ball flies over the keeper and in! Mentaaaallll!!!!!
120th: Pulis decides it's time to give Fuller his 10 minutes of game time, he comes on and with his first few touches, gets the ball after a Bolton corner, bombs up over the half way line, skips past Muamba, Cahill flies in. Nutmeg! He runs to the edge of the box and rounds Jasskelinin and slots home!
Ricardo Fuller City's number10!
Stoke 3 - 2 Bolton.
How do you think it will pan out?

I'd rather it be much more comfortable than that in all fairness ;D
I can see us going 1-0 up and going for a proper backs against the wall type performance. I hope we play like we have done the past two games though (West Ham and Newcastle) and don't take our foot off the gas when we take the lead. Proper go for the jugular

You have way too much time on your hands. However, I do think this cup run is settling into place nicely for a fit and rested Ric.  |

In your timeline he'd have to bring Ric on at 110 mate to give him ten minutes.
The only benefit of Ric being on the bench is that he would probably be on for extra time if it happens. I fear being one up and making 3 negative changes only for them to equalise and us to have no options. Like WHU away this year.

Proper go for the jugular Yeah, if we go 1 or even 2 nil up. I can see Pennant/Matty off. Whelan and some defender(or even Diao) on! Hope he has faith in the players on the pitch. |

I may be wrong but I think the last time Puils made it to Wembley it was as manager of Gillingham against Man City in the play off final. Gillingham 2-0 up with not very long left, Pulis takes off striker (Asaba I think). They drop back on defensive, concede two very late goals and go on to lose on penalties.
God, I hope it doesn't happen like that but I have a horrible feeling.

i've got a gut feeling it'll be 2-0. just not sure who to at this stage.(really close to call this one)
though IF its us that goes through, and seeing as penkhull's given us the script for the semi, i reckon it'll be man city in the final and for those who arent able to watch it, here's how it'll pan out :-)
we start like a rabbit caught in headlights man city score 2 fairly easy goals. Commentators predict a drubbing 2nd half.
HT - Man City 2 Stoke 0
Pulis threatens to bbq various players mothers unless he sees some improvement 2nd half.
We start a lot better and put them under pressure but nothing comes of it. around the 70th minute it looks like they've weathered the storm.
Then, corner whipped in bullet header from Huth 2-1.
its now game on, we get our 2nd wind, on comes fuller and its like the alamo in the man city defence as we bombard their penalty area.
91st minute ball comes and Man City defender takes it off Fullers toes but its out for a throw.
Rory fires one last missile into the box, shawcross get his head on it first, it cannons of the corner of bar and post lands in the middle of the 6 yard box where about 8 players throw themselves at it and its bundled over the line by higgy. (cue mental to end all mentals)
extra time, man city score again after 110 minutes. they then have a shot cleared off the line a few minutes later, in the mele its whacked up field towards pennant and then fuller, who proceeds to take on 2 defenders (ala brum home game stylee) and drill the ball into the top corner.
with only minutes left both sides are too knackered to mount any serious attacks and it goes to penalties.
Fuller gets lucky and just puts away our first pen with Hart almost keeping it out 1-0
tommy saves their first one 1-0
ethers slots home again hart almost gets to it 2-0
their 2nd one barry blazes over the bar 2-0
higgy smashes home practically ripping the net off 3-0
tevez then must score to keep them in it,
hits it low straight down the middle tommy dives but sticks his leg up, the ball cannons off it and out to saftey
5 minute delay whilst we all change our trousers then Party!

I literally don't care if its the worst game ever (that would be nice though). I just want my dream of seeing Stoke in the cup final to come true!. I do however like many of you, believe that my hero Ricardo will do something to win it for us.
Please God you must be a stokie right, or why else would you have invented oatcakes otherwise?

I only hope I enjoy it more than the Millennium play-off match.
Spent the first 92 minutes staring at the clock at the other end of the ground before relaxing and going mad!

0-0 and penalties.
Sorro saves all 11 of Bolton's attempts.
We balloon our first 10 efforts over the bar, before Sorro steps up to score and put us through to the final.

2-1 either way with a late goal winning it.
The winning team do a lap of honour along with Howard Webb as he feels certain United will win the final.
