I can see there being a few goals.... but I'm not calling it either way.
I'll set up a separate poll to see what your chaps think.

 

Battle of the long ball.

I tapped in to the gods and the rot stops of Wednesday.

Get in

 

7-0 to Stoke.

 

We were bad yesterday, but not that bad.

The guys are going to put on a much better show against Stoke hopefully to atone for yesterdays sorry exhibition.

 

Lets hope so but by saying 7-0 I'm hoping they will prove me wrong and make me happy.

 

8-0. all Crouch.

 

7 Crouch, 1 Owen.

 

You know it's bad when you want it to stay Monday forever so the game is further away, and it's getting a bit like that now. But I'm going to go with a comfortable Away 0-2. Has to happen at some point, it just has to.

 

We simply cannot play long balls in this game. We should keep the ball on the ground. Play it in the air and we'll get arse raped.

I'd play -

-------Ba----------Cisse---------

------------Marv---------------

----Jonas---Tiote---Anita----------

Santon---Colo---Saylor/Willo---Simpson

-------------Krul-------------------

 

Nice team Tash, but if WP is right about Marv, he won't be anywhere near starting against Stoke at theirs on a horrible, windy wet weekend!

 

Pardew's said the squad picks itself because of injuries.
I'm guessing
--------------Krul---------------

Simpson--Colo--Willo--Santon

--------Tiote--------Anita--------

Jonas-------------------Ferguson

-----------Ba---Cisse--------------

But what I would like is:
--------------Krul---------------

Simpson--Colo--Willo--Santon

-----Tiote-----------Perch------

--------------Anita---------------

Jonas--------------------------Ba

----------------Cisse--------------

 

Bugger me, nevermind my idiocy... Thought it was at the weekend... Wednesday

Think I might avoid here and BBC sport til after the Wigan game then!

 

I'd take the second one, listening to people Ferguson seems to have been poor yesterday on the wing. I'm not blaming him as I think he will come good.

 

Ferguson was no worse than anybody else, he can't be made a scapegoat for what happened.

 

It's Howard Webb reffing on Wednesday

maybe he can offer a bit of ex Police protection to our squad

<fingerscrossedsmiley>

 

From Pardew's wrath? Bet it's not as good as Marty's [video=youtube;mKvztQBlraQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKvztQBlraQ[/video]

 

I can't tell which is the best bit of that video, when he performs a textbook evil laugh with perfect dismount between 2:01-2:10, or when he tries to desperately to put his keyboard back together after breaking it...

 

2-0 loss.
We will be out-passed and out-played.

 

I've never been so worried about a game before... I think we could get a real hammering.

We looked all at sea at Southampton... being that close to the coast, it's not really a surprise.

I think we'll ship 2 or 3 goals and Ba will nick one just to piss off Pulis again.

 

Saw Owen on Football Focus with a tash, nice because its for charity but still cant stand the little weasel.
