I take it all the fans who've booked time off work and spent good money getting to Valencia have done so through choice? Surely that's why we keep going, because we never quite know what we'll get?
Surely the most important game in the next few days is Swansea on Sunday? I hope everyone gets back in time, although I do know three who won't. I'd like to see Stoke do well, but this competition has ruined the season for me.

I'm not going (couldnt really afford it) and had work and stuff, but if i had gone and spent around £400 going to spain to watch stoke and pulis played a weakened side i would be calling for pulis out...... and i'm sure many others will too.

Plenty of people find out news on the team you dont need to work at stoke you know. And 99% of that info is normally crap. On the Arismendi subject, I wouldn't mind him getting a go, looking at our current midfielders performences recently it would be difficult to do much worse.

If a weakened team is the case tomorrow, then TP has to go... Don't talk puddled son Apparently it's the league that counts, irrespective of all the fans who have fought hell and high water to make sure they are there supporting the club in Europa. May not happen again in a lifetime but Tone is the gaffer and he WILL have the last word on it...every fucking time! I know it's Valencia, i've been watching them for years, and i know they are simply superb given their league competition. I also realise that Tone has a point about our league survival. All that taken into consideration, if he whimps out tomorrow, he deserves the criticism! I literally can't wait for the team news ;D

I literally can't wait for the team news ;D I'm shitting it ;D Afer his rallying call to arms, and his continued statements of really wanting somewhere close/sunny so that we can take thousands over, it would be shocking for him to put in a weakened team. This is our big chance to just go for it, it really is a cup final, we've got to win. I want us to start with Jones, Jerome and Fuller, with Jones arsing about dropping off the front two, Fuller and Jerome right on the heels of the last man and working the channels. Then we'll balance that off my playing Salif on the left wing, Shotton on the right, Delap right back, Tony Scholes in goal and Crouch and Shawcross playing on Fifa, against Valencia, winning 7-1. Shawcross will tweet 'Just beat valencia 7-1 on fifa' followed by 'thats how to do eet tony'. Pennant will look at his gold tinted iphone after 34 minutes and show the tweet to Rudgey, who'll pass a message on to Kempy. TP will turn around and see whats going on and say 'What the fucks all this? are we back at Coventry and i'm a big fat dutchman? shower...now...arse out...and wheres that towel, fuck it, ROOOOORY, where's the fuckin towel?' and Rory will jog over with it, try to pass it to him from 10 yards but it'll end up 20 yards away from him. Danny Collins will look at the commotion, panic, turn around and panic again wondering where his man has gone, saying 'where's my man gone?' The 50'000 million stokies will all remind him that he's never been close to him all game, as per every other game he's played for us, and encourage him to stay out of the box. Meanwhile, Shotton has taken off his vest and told Tony he can use that, even though its not a towel. They'll score two own goals whilst we're not even noticing, and Whelan is given a bonus for his best performance this season. We win 2-0 on the night and go through to claims by March that the whole thing was meticulously planned by Pulis. We beat Swansea 14-12, with Rodgers saying how wonderful it is for the people of Stoke on Trent to see his beautiful football team. Norwich cancel the game last minute because of the annual finger your familyr day meaning the police dont let anybody leave norwich until they have smelly fingers, even though this is flawed anyway on two counts. First because thats just what they do anyway, and secondly because the police are also wrist deep in their sister/mother (whatever they're calling her that day). I cant wait!! COME ON STOKE!!!

From The Sun website:
TONY PULIS faces a furious backlash from Stoke fans when he takes on Spanish giants Valencia tonight — without NINE first team regulars.
Potters boss Pulis flew into a storm yesterday when he touched down in Valencia WITHOUT skipper Ryan Shawcross, Peter Crouch, Jon Walters, Dean Whitehead, Marc Wilson, Glenn Whelan, Matty Etherington, Matt Upson and Andy Wilkinson.
Possible that Arismendi may well start then??????

Arismendi might not be such a bad choice aganst a Spanish side. Valencia will be playing a young spaniard in midfield, Parejo who wouldn't be first choice normally. Isn't "pajero" Spanish for "wanker"? I think Mitsubishi had to rename their 4x4 in Spain as a result. Or is that an urban myth?

I think it's ass or donkey, you're right though, Mitsubishi called their Shogun a "Montero" in Spanish speaking countries.
