Morning lads and lasses. Great for me that the game is on Sky. It's the only chance I get to see the lads these days. I can't wait to see the new signings, proper footballers. Obviously being in sixth brings new pressures. Normally a draw would be decent at Stoke but we can't think like that any more. With Liverpool snapping at our heels we need to go all out for a win. I've got a good feeling about this one. Ha'way the lads.
I'm sure that i'm not the only one concerned about K.JONES. The layabout will be up for this one, and we all know what he's capable of when he can be arsed. That said, i fancy Muntari to dominate the centre of the park, i'm saying 1-1 at the minute, but my confidence is growing on this one, maybe we'll snatch it. Shawcross is superb, we need to get Gyan behind him, so Ricco needs to get as close to Gyan as possible, assuming he plays 'in the hole'. Fancy Sessegnon against any of the Stoke wing backs. Actually, bravado time, 2-1 Sunderland.
Sorry for being off topic however....... CyprusMaken, From doxy to London via cyprus, thats a long way to do it. I'm also a doxy lad and have ended up in NZ via a few places. allways getting further away though.
I'm with you BB, i fancy Steed and Muntari to dominate the middle of the park and we have pace down the flanks in abundance, if we can dictate the game and i say IF, then we should be comfortable and win easily. Our football on the ground is outstanding and Stoke won't be able to compete but if they get physical which we all know they will try, then i'm not so confident. Depends who can get hold of the ball and dictate the game. I'm sticking my neck out and going for a win with Sessegnon breaking his duck.
Bruce has said Muntari isnt a guaranteed starter against Stoke, as he hasnt played much footie recently - though he admitted that he has looked good in training. Zenden is back fit though, and Mensah could start. This one is a must win if we want to stay ahead of Liverpool in the weeks to come. 1-2 to the lads.
Sorry for being off topic...again.... CyprusMaken, SAFC 73 Where abouts in Doxy. I'm Ex Carrock court....I think it's still there, maybe...the balance is knocked down and rebuilt. I Left in '84, went on holiday down South for 20 years....SA.....now living in Hong Kong for 7 yrs. KTF
Your not wrong mate. It's all part of the joys of the Air Force. Last time I was home Doxy was being flattened. I know it ended up a dump but I loved the place when I was young.
Seatoller court 3-11 years old and Wester court 11-22 years old. I left in 1989. Carrock court rings a bell. Close to Seatoller I think.
would love to go and beat these by playing good football on the floor as to in the clouds were they will be playing a lot of it with five or six giants trying to foul the goalkeeper all the time ,or balls thrown in from the halfway line its works for them at times but i wouldnt want to watch it all the time,and i hope we dont get sucked into launching high balls up to gyan weve got to get the ball down and play to our strengths
This is betting a bit spookie, lived in Carrock court aswell, was there from being young until I was 18.
