Stoke are essentially **** + Shaqiri, with Crouch on the bench, so shouldn’t pose much of a problem to Saints, apart from: Getting through their midfield Breaking down their defence Defending set pieces Shawcross breaking someone A narrow win, please!
Given the chaos of the roads in Southampton today, unless conditions improve massively, I can't see the game going ahead.
Now is the discount of our Stoke-on-Trent. Well, I have discounted them already. Of course, it is a little bit cold for sandals, but hey.........
Shall I compare thee to Manchester City? Thou art more lovely but more desperate: Naught wins will see relegation in May, And summer’s player loss we all will hate: Sometime too cruel the eye of heaven shines, And often his air of support dimm’d; And every loss from games sees our decline, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal anger shall not fade Nor lose recall of that promise thou made; Nor shall Europe brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in your heart thou knowest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, We March on ever downwards.
Great, then as the saying goes, “Stoke won’t fancy it on a cold, wet Wednesday night in Southampton.” That is what thesaying is isn’t it
The game has been called off. Apparently the water pipes are frozen and the grounds man will not be able to water the pitch before the game so the match has had to be cancelled.
Hmm... I did this once with a poem and you asked what the hell I was doing messing with a classic and couldn't I just write a poem of my own?
You have been to the Britannia stadium have you? I doubt they ever play in any other conditions and THE GROUND HAS GOT NO CORNERS I also undertsand that their keepers love a nice windy day
I expect their tactics tomorrow to mainly consist of Charlie Adam wrestling people to the cold, hard ground, whilst the rest of the team ensures the ball remains far above it
