Sutton, I've learned quickly not to set myself up for us to get ANYTHING away...bonus if we do, but at least i'm not left gutted. Also learned not to predict our score or put a bet on us as i'm convinced i'm as much of a jinx as our away kit is

Would be a bit surprised if he actually types the predictions onto the BBC website himself!

I reckon we will get 17 more points and finish in 14th, 1 place above you. Considered all the run ins bottom 3 will be Wet brum, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth.

Ah, but with our home record you'd think he'd maybe predict us to win one or two home games? I don't expect us to win any away games this season. Maybe get a draw away at you and Brazil. That is looking more likely, but imagine the boost if you win Saturday. I believe you will stay up if you pick up a win or 2 away. Your home form has stopped you getting cut adrift, but its a big ask to totally rely on it keeping you up Now comes the test, because we've done well against the mediocre teams at home but have struggled to break down the lesser lights who've come here to defend. Maybe with Beattie, Camara and Etherington, that'll change. Away from home, I've absolutely no idea. I think our full-backs are the problem, they look good on our small pitch, but out of their depth on big away pitches.

I bet there's plenty left in the club shop ;D NOt as much as you think...... With our diabolical Store Manager/Stock controller we have now sold out of home shirts three times this season with apparently no more coming until next season's strip. In the meantime the people who could not get a home strip had to buy an away one........

I'm obviously not a Stoke expert, but I always get the impression you set up looking to keep the opposition out when you play away. There seems to be no ambition, and as a result you look a very poor team. Its the total opposite at home. I cant ever remember a team with such contrasting records home and away

Your home form has stopped you getting cut adrift, but its a big ask to totally rely on it keeping you up I'd have agreed with you in August, but actually it's not out of the question that we could survive without winning an away game. Four wins and five or six draws from the next 14 matches should do it. Interesting one for the stattos: Has anyone stayed up without recording a single victory on the road?

Only joking ST, i quite like you really Where's that muppett of a mate of your's been recently though? He's been very quiet recently? Not as quiet as Geovanni, but quiet nevertheless.

ahhh sutton, im not a huge fan of any hull fans but you really are a saint when in contrast with swanland. He forgets to mention the fact that morale must be low there? especially with Cisse publicly announcing his wish to leave the club.

I'm more than happy for the muppet to predict that we lose if we win - I'd rather that than the other way round anyway!
Another "piss poor Match of the Day team apart from Alan Shearer sometimes" point: did anyone notice that Hansen didn't say a word about our victory last week? He must have a LOAD of money on us going down...
