Stoke pre match thread

[Leo]

The nutmeg and curl into the far corner, what a goal that was.

Yep that's the one.
Was a gem.

 

[Red Mullet]

That was an Anfield game in which he scored on his debut but I'm almost certain he scored a beauty in a league cup game in Stoke.

Ah yes.



He could never shoot proper, could he? 🙂

 

[Red Mullet]

Yep that's the one.
Was a gem.

Yep, gem.

 

[Modo]

Wow that team was shit...
But that goal is most certainly a piece of art.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Giffed it in the 'Suarez WOW' thread i think, right up there with the Newcastle goal for sure.

 

[doctor_mac]

Shawcross must wake up in the wee hours screaming with that memory.

 

[Hansern]

Hopefully Huth is out of the game and our players doesnt have to worry about stud marks from the waist up

 

[TheRedCrusade]

why the frrack it is showing that the game will start 17.10 in Germany :scratch:

 

[Modo]

Maybe because of the time difference

 

[Le Chacal]

Hahaha

 

[kingjulian]

This forum could go into a real melt down if result doesn't go our way for this game.

We have played a lot better than some of the clubs that are above us, but we haven't made it count, and hopefully this doesn't come to bite our ass...

Does this mean that thundercunt Jonathan Walters won't be playing? My hopes just went up.

It beggars belief why Johnson can play like utter fucking junk for months and months and get away with it. Talk about untouchable.

Does he have any competition?

 

[mark1975]

Good news if Walters is out. He's a massively underrated centre forward and he's always great against us.

True, Kelly did ok last week, though it was only against Oldham (and I'm not exactly his biggest fan either!).

 

[Red Bird]

I agree. He's actually a good player with a very good first touch and control who was turned into an ogre by Pulis.

My main worry with us is defending. Excepting for a few instances, most goals we have conceded have been gifts.

Pretty much, it's like the Evans era all over again, everytime we concede a corner or a freekick.

 

[StevieM]

As I suggested before - all for dropping him if he's not fit or we have someone who could do a better job.

I'm not convinced by Kelly either. Flanagan might be worth a go when he's back - if Cissoko can continue to look something like a LB.

 

[mark1975]

I don't mind Cissokho, I think he gets alot of unfair flack. He gets up and down the line well, is a strong lad and whips in a decent ball. Ok, he's a bit clumsy at times, but he's done ok. There seems to have been a Traore-esque staple that's been attached to him, quite unfairly.

 

[Modo]

Pardew is such a cunt.

Im starting to think that the player was interfering with play. The ball was heading in his direction and he move out of the way. Not sure that Hart could have saved it though.

Wrong thread?

 

[Modo]

Damn wrong thread

 

[TheRedCrusade]

Maybe because of the time difference

sorry I meant those 10 minutes

Kolo starts, not Sakho

That's fair. No need to rush Sakho in and risk a longer lay off.
