Bring it on - bunny we are coming to give your boys a good thrashing !
Where is bunny ? He is usually here a week before the game giving the stoke angle .

Think Chris Jameson was nasty to him and scared him off.

We are going to win this game by two clear goals. I feel it in my water.

Though it could be thrush...

I have no idea why, but I fancy us to win big.

 :o

I hope we'll win but it's definitely going to be a difficult game.

Is their midfield 'maestro' Charlie Adam playing?.  Remember - the one who was too good to go to a half-arsed club that used to be famous' - now he's just at a half-arsed club

The thing with Stoke is that there are no surprises. You know exactly what you're going to get; how they will set up and how they will labour to break you down.

There is no two ways about it, we need to win this game, we’re more than capable of winning this game and I strongly believe that we will win this game.

We were surprisingly comfirtable against Stoke at home, and that was right in the middle of our 'can't head a corner for love nor money' stage. If we can be strong in the air then we will be fine. I think Baker and Vlaar are more suited to playing against strikers like Jones and/or Jerome as opposed to a Defoe or Suarez type. We can, and we will win.

We just cannot sit back and defend, we physically cannot do it. Our strength is attacking and we should focus on that.

Like it or not, that's all Lambert knows.

Tiny Penis will have them doing hundreds of throw ins and corners this week. 3-1 Stoke with Benteke to score again and add another 500k to his price tag.

Since Rory delap they don't have the same threat from throw ins as they used to have , it's still a tactic they use but nowhere near as potent.

Gotta win this..QPR have a home shoo-in with Wigan. We've got to get away from the 'zone'.
Benteke has the ability and can do it for us!
