Stoke City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Matt C]

As an aside I reckon Pulis will be gone from Stoke this summer and they'll be relegated within a couple of years thereafter.

I think it would depend on who Stoke appoint should he go. They are clearly regressing under Pulis. Yet they have decent resources and a reletively wealthy owner, so a new manager wouldn't be resigned to failiure. Although he would have a job on his hands to undo the Pulis philosophy.

Good, I can't stand anything about them.

Stoke fans seem to want Jones to start but feel Pulis will play Crouch. I would rather Crouch TBH. I fear Jones is the type who would bully our defence.

Either for me. Crouch isn't exactly in a rich vein. Jones used to scare me, but at VP he looked not so much muscular, more just plain fat. Four months down the line, hopefully he's even fatter and yet more immobile

[john e]

Agreed. Crouch 1 goal in 25. Benteke 9 in 10 is it?

i dont care,
 no matter if we win,lose or draw tomorow if there is one thing set in stone its that Crouch will score

Seems to be having a little revival this season. Stoke fans believe that most of their best performances have come when he has played and their bad form started when he was dropped for the Beanpole.

Can't wait. I'm childishly excite and hyper. Have you set off yet Mr Sox? Are we nearly there?

[adrenachrome]

I hope you don't throw up in Mr Sox's executive limousine PWS. And don't forget he does not like chanting or getting pissed up pre-match.

I'm wondering how to persuade him to let me hang a scarf out the window.

I probably shouldn't have eaten all that curry with chili and garlic tonight either.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

0-2 Villa 16/1 put a tenner on. I am having that feeling ..........

[adrenachrome]

Match previewer just on Towk Shite reckons we will win, and that Sterk are on excrescence of Mephistopheles and a pox on the body sporting.

He will probably make you listen to Tangerine Dream for the duration of the trip PWS. Va ya con dios.

I've already stuck some Motley Crue and Girls Aloud cd's in my bag.

And i'm getting OCD over my ticket, must have checked half a dozen times that it's in my wallet.
