    Wish it was as easy as everyone could be happy :1980_boogie_down: but I guess that we will be happy with who ever wins! <whistle>

    A couple of interesting articles from Danny Higginbotham here;

    Stoke and Pulis were victims of their own success
    http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jan/17/danny-higginbotham-stoke-tony-pulis-palace

    Potters v Tony Pulis will be like old Stoke vs new Stoke
    http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Dann...ke-old-Stoke/story-20456082-detail/story.html

    There's some overlap between the two, but worth giving both a read I think.
    It's nice to hear some more balanced stories from behind the scenes, and who'd have thought Higgy would turn out to be such an articulate writer? I've seen him doing some analysis on SSN, and was impressed with him. He's certainly more competent than the likes of Savage, and he doesn't seem to have a big club bias. Plus as an ex-stokie, he will always gain my support :)

    It seems Bego is back in the mix and is being considered for a return for the Chelsea game. Do you think he should be selected? Personally I would keep Butland in goal against Chelsea and play Bego in the 6-pointer league game against Sunderland next Wednesday. He has been missed and we need him back (same with Huth) asap.

    Come on you mighty Potters!! Any sort of result will do me. Still surprised that Guidetti isn't a starter though

    Odemwingie is looking like a good player, but Mannone is his and our whole team's equal...

    Plus what is Hughes doing?

    Walters for Crouch
    and
    Arny for Assaidi

    What about Guidetti?

    Very disappointing result, looking like a one flush and down the pan at the moment.

    I only saw the last 25 minutes, and in that, we were all over Sunderland, it looked like them who only had 10 men. During all of that, I was thinking, "why the **** is Guidetti on yet?"
    Having not seen much of the match, I can't comment too much on the first 2 subs, I didn't see how the game was going when they were made. I can understand the reasoning behind bringing Walters on, being a man down, we needed someone who'd work hard and make things difficult for Sunderland, but in that last 20 minutes we were screaming out for someone who could take one of the chances we were making, and Hughes leaves it until 4 minutes to go, and then takes off the only other player who looks like scoring off!
