As Hilts Coolerking just said to me elsewhere, "this is the worst christmas football since 1914"

[Jimbo]

Our patient build-up/inability to advance much further than the halfway line isn't going to hurt Stoke.

[Witton Warrior]

We could win this if we are canny

[PaulWinch again]

Again, move off the fucking ball.

[Risso]

Bring Bannan on for 20 minutes.  We've got zero movement off the ball, and no passing through the middle.  Clark has done nowt all night, and Albrigthon's crossing has been gash, so I'd bring one of those two off.

[Toronto Villa]

We don't two wingers tonight. Take Albrighton off and bring in someone to sit in the hole behind Fonz.

[D.boy]

That was over the line?

Not far enough though.

[Astral Weeks]

That was over the line?

No, it wasn't.

[bertlambshank]

Oooooh look at the movement.

Clark has been tidy, but I agree, if we're going to try to win we'll bring BB on.

The sad truth is  Alex will be chuffed with a point.

I'd take a point now.

[Ozzjim]

Ireland and Bannan now too for me.

I wondered where he was, he isn't locked up in your cellar Austria style is he?!

[Dave Cooper please]

Just about any team would be chuffed with a point at Stoke, they are a very, very good team at home.
