Given that their attack consists solely of overhitting crosses in the general direction of an isolated Danny Graham, whose manager believes him to be out of playing shape, I think that people are underestimating the chances that we get something at the SOL.
Let us hope so! Reason 1) I hope that Sunderland or Wigan get relegated Reason 2) It would be a nightmare for you to need a result vs. Stoke. They will after all completely park the bus!
Whilst I agree with you, unfortunately two yellows would of course be of little use to us. Need a straight red please.
Given that he seems incapable today of keeping his feet close to the big green thing where feet normally go, I think he might be able to manage that. Just so long as he doesn't get another yellow before he can manage something thoroughly gruesome.
In watching that replay of the goal, I've only just noticed that Sunderland had McClean marking Crouch at that corner! If Di Canio came up with that plan, thank god he isn't our manager.
I've got strong hopes for a second yellow card for Cuellar, and that would be of use to us. Especially as A) I thought he and O'Shea handled Lambert very well in the home game and B) It increases the chances of Bramble starting against us.
I knew they wouldn't finish with a full complement of players...so many fouls. Desperate for Stoke win, then we could sort it on Saturday. Stoke are better than Sunderland, but that's not saying much.
That would be nice. Wouldn't mind if Rose went, either...something involving him challenging for a waist-high ball and accidentally crunching Crouch's ankle, perhaps.
