On paper we shouldn't have any chance but I've got a funny feeling we might beat them. After the City defeat are they on a "mini wobble" and with Stoke, expect the unexpected! Or am I deluded...

The pessimist in me says we'll get shafted.
The optimist in me says the same.

Cant see United losing three on the bounce. I think we will score but they will run riot.

Until very recently, I'd have given us a chance against virtually anyone at home in front of a full house.
When you look at our recent home games, pretty much from Xmas onwards (Man City in the cup, Reading, West Ham, West Brom, Villa) we do look lifeless and inept.
Our confidence-sapped rabble coming up against this Man United team , themselves coming off a bloody nose, is potentially pretty frightening.

I'll be having money on an away win, put it that way.
I'll be delighted if it's money down the pan.

I've had £10 on us to win with skybet (5/1 odds)
we dont really have a choice but to get somthing from this game, i would happily take a point at this point in time but i really think we need 3 points to kickstart our survival campaign.
3 points aginst man u, carnt think of anything better to get our team and fans up for the remainder of season.
the bear pit will be back in full swing (hopefully), that will rev the lads up for the scrap neeeded.
bego
cammeron huth shawcross wilson
kightly adam whelan ethers/jerome
jones walters/owen
that would be my starting team (depending who's fit)

United have this knack of knowing how to beat us.
We've got no chance Sunday.

If Utd have 2 players sentoff before half time (& before they score) then maybe we can sneak a 0.0
maybe

I can't see us beating United but maybe we might raise our game and put in a half decent performance. The United game is rather irrelevant in my mind. The QPR, Norwich and Sunderland games that follow are where we seal our fate.

I think the best we can hope for is a draw if we were to get anything out of this game, but really, I can see them scoring 6/7 if we play like did against Villa.

Beat Manchester United when we just lost to Aston Villa 3-1 at home & have scored 1 goal in 5 games, er, NO not a bloody cat in hells chance, they will smash us for 4 or 5

What are the odds for a Stoke win or draw? Stoke and the draw is best priced 11/8 with VC Man Utd are nowhere near as good as their league position suggests in my view but our form would stop me countenancing any sort of bet on us. |

The Manu "anti Pulis" types will be calling for Fergies head since they lost at home and are now on the slide. Come on you Mighty Potters give it up 'em!

I know what you mean, Momo. They don't strike you as remotely a great Man Utd side. But their record since Christmas 2011 is astonishing compared to anyone else in the country P 54 W 42 D 04 L 08 F 125 A 52 Pts 130 |

No bookmaker has priced that up that possibility, foster and bear in mind they are happy to price up Shergar trotting down Oxford Street being ridden by Lord Lucan. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Stoke pretend to be a football team as we have done against big teams. If we get a draw everything will be rosy again.

I think this could be Pulis's Birmingham 0-7 moment, and it couldn't be happening at a worse time.

You can probably get 100/1 on Cameron to have a shot on target and Stoke to have 3 shots on target |

In light on upcoming fixtures and players carrying knocks does anybody think Pulis might do a Valencia this Sunday and send out the reserves ?

There is more chance of finding gold in your underpants than is of Stoke getting 3 points against the shit.

NO. If we were allowed to field Barca's side with clueless in charge, we would still fail to score.  |
