Great for Walters to score 2, but I think Diouf would have managed to poke both in from that range. Service counted last night. Begovic Cameron Shawcross. Huth. Pieters Nzonzi. Whelan Moses. Adam. Odemwingie Diouf Crouch, Arnie, Wilko, Walters Sorensen on the bench you need to be in the right place at the right time to pke them in - don't take that for granted

Just said on SSN Phil Bardsley hasnt trained all week whilst Geoff Cameron is out with a thigh strain, Heaven help us if Andy Wilkinson is put on against them oh - and the Cherry on top, DJeko is not fit so, Aguero is scheduled to start but you never ever, know ! (I wonder if Muniesa can do RB ?)

My preferred line up would be something like:
Routemaster
Arriva - Proctors - National Express - Stagecoach
Bakers - PMT - Crosville - Leons
D&G - Bostocks

OptaJoe @optajoe 12 - Stoke City have played 12 Premier League games in Manchester (City & United combined) and lost all 12. Graveyard.

Have to agree. Odemwingie is 33 and realistically isn't the future despite his efforts and unquestionably positive impact last season. Still has an important role this season off the bench. Walters shouldn't be anywhere near the starting xi anymore. I find it hysterical albeit slightly frightening that some fans want to bring Walters back because he scored against a league 2 side. In fact it's fucking absurd in all fairness given how evidently out of his depth he is at premier league level. It was inevitable that we would struggle to sell him mind. If he is out of his depth at PL level then the only conclusion is that two managers who selected him for 100+ consecutive PL games don't know what they are doing, despite one of them subsequently winning the PL manager of the year, and the other being the manager who took us to our highest ever PL finish. Personally, I don't think so. It doesn't necessarily mean that he will or should start on Saturday ( although I wouldn't be unhappy if he did) but the terms in which he is written off by some carry no credibility in my view.
Is George Eastham available for selection?

Don't think Hughes understands the rules against Manchester City. He is supposed to comment on the value of their bench players and about Apples dropping etc. He's going about saying we should go there and aim to get the three points
Tinner rate!
Refreshing though.

I'm not saying that bojan or diouf would not have been in the right place at the right time to poke in the 2 goals which walters scored. it was, as I said, just a general comment. I remember when I was still a young boy watching the 1982 world cup thinking how lucky Paolo rossi was scoring all his goals from just 2 yards out, saying that even I could have scored those. But would i have been at the right place at the right time ?

Face it, nobodys going to give us a chance tomorrow, so we might as well throw caution to the wind and get at them. Yes, it might be suicide, but, maybe, and its a long shot, we might just get something out of it IF we are aggressive, in their faces and looking to hit them with pace, power and precision. to that end I want us to go 4-2-3-1 with.
Bego
Ryan Huth Bards Muni
N Zonzi Whelan
Ode Bojan Moses
Crouchy
Come on, its worth a shot, surely. If we just shut up shop, we could end up limping out with a 2-0 defeat at best.

Honestly this is the type of game where Diouf should be played.

Would swap Whelan for Sidwell and Crouch for Diouf and that's not a bad team, Whelan has been appalling and I think Diouf will come good and we will need pace tomorrow and Crouch will not give us that!

I was thinking more along the lines of Crouchy being a focal point to draw their centre-halfs out a bit and the 3 in behind him running beyond him.

Don't make any difference if fits suicide or not as long as we try. I don't mind losing as long as we give it a go. Show a bit of passion for the badge lads.

Don't think Odem is ready for anything, looked poor the other night against a league 2 team, also, personally I'd stick with Wilson.

We have lulled them into a false sense of security, now we can fuck them with big elephant dicks. A master plan that can be adapted to almost any situation. I'm afraid I am very, very drunk!
