Mixed feeling about tomorrow. Away against a team we don't have a great record against recently, who's crowd will be well up for it, head would usually say textbook stoke away capitulation (see Bolton and Sunderland last year for reference)
As ever we are massively dependent on our wingers. Good performance from them and I fancy us to comfortably draw at least. If they don't I'm not hopeful at all, given what I said above
I'm going to say 1-1 though. Come on Stoke!!

As an overseas fan, I want to wish my fellow Stokies going to game tomorrow a safe trip and a great day!
I'll be in the bar at 8.30am (2.30pm GMT) in Chicago, annoying all the glory hunters and cheering the lads on from a far! It won't be quite the same but I'll be there in spirit.
I'm going for 1-1, both goals in the second half, Stoke from a corner, then Reading equalize, but we'll hold on.
Red and White army!

In an ideal world my team would be:-
Bego
Wilko Shawcross Huth/Upson (Huth if fit of course) Wilson
Kightly Ness Palacios Ethers
Crouch Jerome
However, there is no chance of this happening! However I still expect a tight game and fancy a sneaky 1-0 for us, Jerome with the goal. Goarrrrrrn Stoke!

Reckon we'll start with
Sorro/Begovic Wilko Shawx Upson Wilson Ethers Palacios Whelan Kightly Walters Crouch
Ethers seems to have played right wing in most friendlys I have watched and I can't see us taking a chance on Huth.
1-1 for me with theirs being a pen & ours from Walters

I reckon this is the team that TP is going to pick: Begovic Wilkinson Shawcross Upson Wilson Kightly Whelan Whitehead Etherington Crouch Walters I can see this team as well. Still think we'll win - I'm going for 2-0.

I have a feeling Ethers is on his way out so can't see much involvement for him. Not sure TP has forgiven JP yet and Palacios is still an unknown quantity, is he fit? Does TP trust him in the cage? So except for midfield the rest really pick themselves.
Beggo Wilko Shawcross Upson (if Huth not ready)Wilson
Any 4 from below Ethers Kightly Whitehead Whelan Delap WP Shotton pennant
Walters Crouch
EDIT just seen the Pennant injured thread
2-1 in favour of Reading unfortuantley

4-1 to reading, with no worhwhile signings in our 5th year in the prem, championship clubs spending more than we are, the players we have bought in are a joke, coates is giving no more money to clueless to piss away, the guy will be gone by xmas .Feel sorry for walters up front hes like a 5 yr old in the deep end of a swimming pool ,hes way out of his depth,im afraid this is the season we finish in the bottom 3, ps palacios after a year maybe fit what a piss take

SL&Pþ@StokeLoudProud
Players that havn't travelled for today's game are Sidibe,Pennant,Upson,Arismendi,Nash and Tongue
Doesn't that mean Huth must be playing if Upson has been left behind?

You would think so nutter. However i still thought Upson would have travelled just in case Huthy struggles to last the full 90. Pennants injured, but very surprised Upson hasnt travelled. GOARRRN STOKE!

I remember a game at the Brit in around 2005 when we went 1 - 0 ahead but Reading unfortunately equalised.
I blame Kitson.
Today the only goals will be Crouchie's hattrick.

And they tell all these jokes about Chuck Norris HAH!!! ;D .robert huth can slam a revolving door .robert huth is the reason wally is hiding .When Alexander Bell invented the telephone he had 3 missed calls from robert huth .robert huth doesn't call the wrong number. You answer the wrong phone. .robert huth has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afriad to move. .There used to be a street named after robert huth, but it was changed because nobody crosses robert huth and lives. .robert huth has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life. etc etc.. ;D

Federici, Gunter, Gorkss, Pearce, Harte, McAnuff ©, Leigertwood, Guthrie, McCleary, Hunt, Pogrebnyak
We should piss these. Harte & Gunter are toss, two wingers is a must.

begovic Wilko huth ryan wilson Kightly Whelan Deano Ethers Crouch Walters That will probaly be the team and if that is there team, if we compare players. Our GK is better, our RB and LB probaly better, Our CBs much better, Wingers- McAnuff is good, Would say about the same, CMs They might have better, deano and guthrie the best out of the four and upfront- Crouch better than both of theres but pogrebnyak better than JW. So overall we SHOULD win. But never works out like that. 1-1 my prediction. Kightly and pogrebnyak

Why have Popov as a sub when he doesnt have a work permit?! Think we'll play it safe today, not expecting anything exciting unless kights is given an opportunity to have a crack. Im going 0-0. And id take that with no injuries along the way.
