Saint Garrett

Still think our CM is very close to being better than theirs. You may not agree but I'd rather have Morgan and Wanyama with Cork Jwp and Davis as back ups. Think Carrick is decent, but cleverley is dross, Fellaini wasn't there when I made the comment but has hardly set the world alight, and Anderson...not fussed by him. I used to rate Fletcher but he's been injured so long I'm not sure you can really count him anymore. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Tapatalk

Thought he was OK on Saturday, caused them a few problems and picked up a few free kicks in good areas. If any game isn't for him its Stoke away in that weather.

Why do oppo players need a whole thread about the fact they have had a good game against us?! Its mentioned on all the reaction threads - not that I generally read many of them.

TBF we pretty much put out our first XI vs Chelsea, and then brought on a few squad players once the game was pretty much lost....

That was a tongue in cheek comment, but the way we've both been playing recently, the fact that we could have had 2 pens, and the fact they still play pretty abysmal football, yes I'm sure a lot of their hands thought 1-1 was a good result for them. Read there forum, they seem pretty happy.

7th would be incredible. Still think there is a top 3 this season (Chelsea, City, Arsenal) and then Liverpool, Spurs and Man Utd fighting for 4th. If us or Everton can have a very good season and stay injury free, then maybe we could cause a shock and finish in the top 6, but very unlikely. Would be more than happy to finish 8th.

Glasgow Saint - formally Bournemouth Saint...

Ormerod did a fantastic job for us and probably made Beattie look better than he actually was, but JR is a totally different player. The only comparison is that they both never stop running. Despite that, they're very very different.

Would be tempted to start a relatively strong side. Gazza Chambers Fonte Yoshi Shaw Cork Wanyama Gaston Davis J-Rod Osvaldo. Lovren, Morgan, Clyne, JWP, Lallana and Rickie can have a rest.

Depends what you call arrogance. If that's confidence in our players to succeed then yes our fans are more arrogant than they used to be. Clearly because we're really quite good. Are we top 4 side? No probably not, but we're as good as we've been in my lifetime.

Bazz and Glasgow talking ******** 'shock' best kept on ignore!

They got a superb point against us today. Great result for them. I thought that Arnoutivic or whatever his name is is meant to be good. Thought he was shocking. And NZonzi is up there with Nolan on my 'biggest c*nts' list! They're a very very poor side. If the weather hadn't been like that we would have won IMO. Messy messy game. Also my first trip to Stoke. Thought the atmosphere was meant to be good?! A couple of whispers of the imaginative "c'mon Stoke" and that was about it. Is there any prem ground with an atmosphere these days apart from ours?

They're clearly retarded. They have a championship squad. Hope we give the hoofers a lesson today. COYS

Just FYI, we went to the Stoke TO earlier, cash turnstile no 50 apparently.

They said to me on the phone it's cash only at the turnstile.

You can. I rang up today for a mate who is now coming with me.

Anyone interested in car sharing with me+1? 2 of us looking to go Friday and come back on Sunday from Basingstoke - happy to contribute petrol (or drive myself and you contribute)?

West Ham Fulham Palace. Sunderland to stay up on the last day to cause agony for West Ham who haven't been in the relegation zone all season!

This too for me. It's going to end in tears though! Spurs miss out, Man Utd miss out, and who would bet against us and Everton also not getting top 6. Going to be the most open season for a long time. Hope Man Utd go down ?

Think there is a hotel and a harvester relatively near the ground. Not sure about real ale drinkers though! Towns advised to stay clear of as bit of a hole! (I've never been but going Sat!) COYS
