Don't be stupid. Pulis wouldn't want to upset Sir Alex too much. We're Stoke City, we'll play how Sir Alex wants.

We should go to old Trafford with a shit or bust mentality. They've had a far tougher game than us this weekend and do not have their first 11 available. I'd love to see us have a go rather than defend like fuck and lose by one goal.

Too right, got nothing to lose by going there and having a good go at a weaker than normal team. We did ok there last season only lost by an odd goal. Give Jarome a run out he looks eager to score cos he's desperate for a run in the side and has the pace we need. Go on Tone , you know it makes sense.

Not a a chance. Would not expect us to go all guns blazing, but if you picked up a team from pub football and dressed them up as Man Utd and told TP it was the real deal, we would still play with our tails between our legs. Unfortunately away from home the attitude is that we play against a club and its history or stature,not against the actual sum total or ability of a team, especially where Man Utd are concerned.

didn't they just edge it last year 2-1 yes, we may have got a draw if Danny Collins hadn't have stepped back 2 yards from Nani and offered him a clear site of goal. Was that then DC's last game for us?

United have proven to be vulnerable this year and I'd love to think Pulis would at least play Pennant but he'll be true to form, put Shotton / Delap on the wing, probably play Crouch alone up front and drop Walters into midfield.
Watching us against Derby in the last 30 minutes, when Pennant came on and then Fuller showed we can play good football. And how refreshing that we controlled the last 15 minutes, dominated possession and never looked like being put under pressure. United are a different prospect I know but at the very least when teams come to the Brit we really should be taking the game to the opposition...not just trying to contain the likes of WBA, Wigan etc.

Without Danny Collins we might have a chance of nicking something

This is a game of no consequence whatsoever.
Yesterday was a massive game as will be the Euro games.
Our vision this season was; a) assure safety in the Prem (as good as done) then b) go for silverware in the cups
A game in the Prem at Old Trafford must be close to our least important fixture this season.
Play the reserves for this one TP, we have bigger fish to fry.

Correct. He thought Dalglish Rush Barnes etc etc etc were playing at Anfield the other week and all we had was one long range shot from Ethers ALL GAME. Great draw dont get me wrong but a complete dog of a game with no intent to TRY and win it and with more belief we could of nicked it. Last min of stoppage time perfect chance we had a throw in level with there 18 yard line and what do we do but throw it in the corner to waste time????????? THATS WHAT A GAME IS ABOUT THROWS TO SCORE!!! we even BOTTLED that!

We should look at it as a warm up game for Valencia away because if we need to score and win to get through the tie because if we go to Valencia losing 1-0 Pulis will still play for a 0-0 draw go out but bleat on about Valencia's pedigree,history,experience blah blah blah blah!!!
Get in to em show them fuck all respect (on the pitch) and believe in your team because in football who knows what cam happen!!! ie Manc Sum 2 Blackburn Rovers 3!!!

Pulis will be targeting the Sunderland game.

Six teams have gone to Old Trafford this season and come away with something. We are more than capable of making it seven if we approach the game positively.

Given the 'problems' they've got player-wise......surely we MUST go to OT with the attitude that we can get something out of the game

I'd like to see Fuller and Jerome given a chance lets give them a bit of pace and trickery to make their defence think a bit instead of lumping it long to Crouch up front on his own. Keep the defence as it is but mix it up a little bit after that:
Begovic
Wilkinson Huth Shawcross Wilson
Pennant Palacios Whitehead Etherington
Fuller Jerome

Their defence is slow and weak so if fuller jerome pennant and etherington all start then we might be able to get in behind their back 4 an create some decent chances, and if de gae is in goal then I see a few corners getting converted into goals, just hope pulis doesn't play the usual 10 men behind the ball thing an play for a point...

I think stoke city have a chance of coming away with points. The next 36 hours will show if stoke city are happy to see what happens this season or really go for it . seventh place, a FA cup win and go for the europa cup , in the empty trophy cab inet that the arse have for sale!At least 2 more quality players needed in my opinion.
