I havnt taken much notice of our friendlies, but I do know that a wanky build up means fuck all to the league campaign, in fact I prefer us to be wank pre season. Traditionally it has worked in our favour. OK.... Liverpool away. I think our record at Anfield is one of the worst ever for a football club against another football club at a given venue (I have no stats to back this up, but Im quite confident we are wank there). I have no idea what team Hughes will pick (I cant call him Sparky... we havnt formed a Stoke footballing relationship yet) I have no idea what formation we will try and play. I have no idea how Liverpool are shaping up. I have that tingly sensation that you can only get pre match, as I dream of an away win on the first day of the season. We could be top of the league at 3 oclock. I cant fucking wait.

No idea how we're gonna shape up tomorrow but I can see Walters on the wing "giving it his all".. I fear defeat.

This is a new era, so we are all a bit nervous. There is a case for saying we have good players (top class keeper, solid centre backs, talented midfield, capable forwards) but the key question for me is: do we have a leader on the pitch? In our first saeason in the Prem, Abdy Faye was inspirational, far beyond his capabilities as a footballer. We rallied round him. It was integral to our survival.
If Ryan can perform beyond his years and really lead this team, we'll be fine.
If not, I fear the worst.

Will we get 'Shawcross The Leader' or 'Ryan The Quiet' this season. He's a big boy now and really needs to get more vocal. I love Ryan, by the way - this is in no way questioning his defensive prowess...

Its a new dawn and all that bollocks, alot of Oatcakers are predicting doom and fookin gloom tomorrow. Whatever way Hughsey sets us up and has us playing, remember this... our lads know how to defend, how to grind out a result at Anfield, don't think for one minute that being asked to tap it around a bit more is going to detract from the main objective. A smacking we will not get. Could we win? Possibly, sensible money should be on a draw, dunner write us off, enjoy the ride this season is my motto.

We can sit around all day worrying about strikers, complaining about the transfer window, and fearing relegation. But when all is said and done, we want football above all. And now, we have football.

a 50p wager says he'll play 1 in goal, 5 at the back, 3 in a defensive mid-field, 1 JW in front of them and 1 PC rooted to the centre circle. Any takers?
