Hi all. Leicester fan in peace here. Really looking forward to Saturday!! Iv got the feeling that alot of you are under estimating Leicester and hope Hughes does the same. That would really play into our hands. Iv seen alot of Stoke games over the last few years as live local and i think that Shawcross and Wilson are your weak link. I know in the past that that has been your base for success but since Huth has been out i feel this is the area where we can really hurt you. Shawcross doesnt quite seem the same player as when he was alongside Huth 2years ago, hence why Roy has prefered players like Smalling/Stones etc for England. Whether it be Ulloa bullying him or Vardys pace i feel we need to exploite this to be sucessfull. Our weakness is definately our fullbacks. Im not too fussed about 'Arnie' because i feel he is very overrated and only seems interested half the time. however i feel that presuming Moses plays he will need to be closely watched. dont think 'we beat them easily in the FA cup earlier in the year' because that was not our strongest team at all. Our captain and other centre half were out, aswell as nugent being on the bench. we werent interested in that game we were focusing on the league and it fully paid off. i think we are in for an end to end game, a very closer encounter, and only a goal or two in it. I wish you luck for the season and hope you enjoy watching us play saturday!! PREDICTION STOKE 0-2 LEICESTER ( shawcross og, ulloa). , wow, you must have been staring at the back of the blokes head sitting in front of you when you went to watch us. to be honest i did find myself dropping off most of the match as your long ball tactic hoofing it all game was boring me so i maybe wrong

'scored'. Stoke 3-1 Arsenal. Stoke 3-1 Liverpool. Stoke 3-2 Chelsea. Joseph my friend i think your the one who needs to do his research. I clearly asked if you had ever beaten anyone by 3 goals not ever scored 3 goals. hmmmm embarassing I apologise, for you see I made a simple error in confusing your two dick measuring posts. However, no research was needed and as a result it cannot be classed as 'lack of research'. It is not nearly as embarrassing as: 1: Your attempts to troll on this thread. 2: Your attempt at using the correct 'your'. It's "you're", as in "you are". 3: Your attempt to spell "embarrassing" Hmmm, embarrassing indeed.

It won't be this team but i just wanted to do this, it's done on 'soccermanager' so that's what the numbers are (player ratings) In reality, Wilson will definitely start and i've not even got him on the bench because i'm mean like that. I also don't know if Assaidi will actually be on the bench because i don't know if he's fit yet? If he is then he will be but stick this in your fife and smoke it. I'm starting Crouch over Diouf by the way, because Diouf won't start following his international journeys.

I don't think there will be too many changes from the team that started against Man City. Although I think Arnie may come in for SJW.
Bego Bardsley Shawcross Wilson Pieters Whelan Nzonzi Moses Arnie Diouf Crouch

It has to be Sidwell or Adam really, so adam every time.

I have decided that this would be my team:
Begovic
Bardsley Shawcross Wilson Pieters
Moses Whelan N'Zonzi Arnautovic
Bojan Crouch
I would play Diouf but I don't think he will be ready after his international excursions. Moses should get past Konchesky every time. Bojan will score I think.
2-0 Bojan, Crouch

Mark Bowen is on here all the time, he'll be grateful for the tips. I imagine without your post we wouldn't have had a clue about your strengths and weaknesses. Cheers!

It's good to see some decent trolling return. I might just pop over to their board and ask them what they're going to do with their new arse hole after Saturday.

Something tells me them boys wont struggle to find out what to do with a new arsehole I'd be extra attractive to most of the male population of Hanley. Probably make a killing in ST1.

I think we'll struggle badly in this game, based on almost every game we have played against yo-yo teams and championship sides since we've been in the prem, we never get things right in these games and usually get outfought. Can anyone else think of the last time we played well against a newly promoted team?

We beat Palace at home early on last season but didnt play well & lost away to TP Palace We were terrible in a 0.0 draw v Cardiff,drew 1.1 away plated ok struggling to recall Hull at home & away was 0.0 that backs your point up.

I just dont get all this tired nonsense, Diouf is a young very fit 20 odd year old who gets to play tiki-taka for a living, I often travel with work and and have no issue turning our for the darts team on a Wednesday night even if i get back the SAME DAY!

Seriously though I think Diouf will start, bring Bojan on for the last 25 mins when we're two to the good

Make no mistake boys+girls, this will be a very tough fixture. From what I've seen, Leicester have a very strong, committed bunch of players giving it 100% to the final whistle,their draws with both Everton+the Arse bear witness to this. They're rather like us in our first season. Add to this the probable introduction of their Argentinian international making his first appearance in this country+we have an extremely tough game against fired-up opponents. Predictions of a walkover are just plain daft.

Idk 50/50 for diouf I hear. Probably going to rest him and give other's a look in tbh. I personally think Crouch / Bojan to start.
