Win this and I think it's game over for Swansea. It's just the winning it that's the hard part. Think tom may be back in and 4-5-1. No place for daws or Curtis. Abel to come on and nick a goal. Not sure it's a game for markovic really but with a good ref we might get awarded the fouls these dirty ****ers get away with for once. The Jak Elmo ranoccia Maguire Robertson Markovic N'diaye Hudd Clucas growshitski Niasse I'd take a 1-1 right now.
A game for strong minds & big hearts. Team picks itself those lacking in the above will have to step up. Ref could play an unneccessary part, don't give him the chance to make a big decision. I'd be happy with nowt apiece, think we'll nick one late on. 0-1.
Unfortunately we've been given the short straw referee wise. ATWELL... 8 Premiership games all season according to stats. 24 Yellow Cards including 7 in one game. Common denominator what he's asked to officiate are the teams Boro, Sunderland and Burnley. On the upside he was in charge when we won at Swansea.
I'd have same team as Chazz but id stick the boy David in at rb. Draw please! Never confident going to stoke. In Marco we trust.
Must be due an away point , would be tempted to revert back to a similar line up we played against Boro and just attack , was never going to do that against Man City - but Stoke don't have that much to play for and we should just go for them- I'm going so hoping for a good atmosphere and a 3-0 half time lead for a 2nd half conga ..
Jak DM Nokia Harry Robertson Marco Hudd Clucas Groschit Niasse Hernandez Change to 4-5-1 when we're 3 up, eventually win 1-3 ...if we start 4-5-1 it will be a 1-1 draw
Definitely a chance for points tomorrow should we approach the game in the right frame of mind. Shaqiri and Arnautovic are the dangers but I'm confident Marco can find a way for us to shackle them. First trip to Stoke for me and hopefully a point of more to celebrate!
I think he will play Evandro and markovic.sadly Elmo too.if Lenihan is fit get him in Marco.also I think Tom will be on the bench.i could be wrong and I usually am
Just been watching the goals from our glorious day at Wembley while waiting for an emergency vet to sort our dog out. Tooth abscess. 80 quid later, hes got antibiotics and instructions to go back for tooth removal when the infections gone down. Meyler has to start, along with Hudds. We have a point to prove. They've been a bit of a bogey team for us, or something but when alls said and done, we've got Marco Silva. Hughes is just a typical lower table Brit manager. Silva is so much more than that. Tomorrow see's us kick this away performance bollocks into the long grass and we'll maul these pottery making ****s. 0-4. Nailed on. You Ull.
Oh god aye. One of the daughters poorly: Stop being a sodding drama queen. Dog not well: Ok, I dont care if they charge extra for a bank holiday, and it's 45 mins drive away now we've moved, get him in the car.
The lads were out training over the back fence today. Sounded as if they were having a whale of a time laughing and shouting. All seemed to be in high spirits. Tomorrow we go 5 points clear.
Dogs are worth every penny. Apart from my own rescue dogs I sponsor a couple of Dogs Trust ones. Wasn't being a drama queen, just writing from bitter experience. Sorry to hear about your daughter, hope it isn't too serious and she makes a quick recovery.
Surely not on Good Friday, has to be haddock, not whale!! Anyway, going off the fish n chips thread we are all very satisfied with our haddock feasts and in good moods, let's hope we are all feeling the same tomorrow, at this time!
