    Not sure whether to go to the gym and miss this or watch it, will decide later.

    I think it will be a draw, which probably won't be good enough for us.

    There was a rumour that the Swansea fans were going to do what the welsh rugby fans always do, when England stay there and make loads of noise outside the hotel all night.

    I don’t think it will be good enough . If it goes to the last day , Stoke won’t be up for the fight given the comments from a couple of their players .

    That is not a happy camp !

    Keep setting the fire alarm off is the usual tactic.

    Probably better they are based in Cardiff as they will want Saints to win.

    Yeah I don't think a point is enough either, it is just what I think the score will be.

    I was reading the Stoke players comments and Hughes was getting battered by them all. Poor discipline and bad signings seemed to be the main 2 themes.

    Although Charlie Adam's main issue was that players would go to training then go and see a private personal trainer afterwards, he probably could have done with a few days like that if he is the size he is just training.

    Do you happen to know if they were Mark Hughes signings , or if it was forced on him ?

    It just seems he did ok there for at least a couple of seasons .

    From what I have read it seems most people are blaming him for them, I have no idea if Stoke have a Les Reed equivalent or transfer committee.

    Hopefully it won't be an issue for us as he won't be here to over see a transfer window anyway, and the discipline thing doesn't seem an issue with our squad based on their comments.

    This is going to be a tough game. Can see a scrappy start with both teams feeling the nerves. Lets hope we can settle the quicker. We’re in the better form, but this is a one off, winner takes all. COYR

    I’m debating, ‘doing a Fran’ and not watching it. But actually I know I’ll find a pub somewhere and watch it, it’s what we do!
