Stoke City (h) pre-match thread

[The Black Shed]

err, because they have an opinion? It might not be the same as yours or mine, but it is as equally as valid

Fair do's, but hey I was pessimistic for years, decades even. But I have seen the light and no more shall I wonder in the murky fug of self doubt and Pearce tactics. I am now disappointed that City don't win every game they play. In some ways I used to be disappointed that they even won a game, so entrenched in our plight we were, and such were my ties to the doom and doldrums of despair. Winning upset the 'typical City' rhythms that are in all of us. Not now sir, those pesky goblins have been banished from me, rent asunder by the wonderful, glowing football that we have seen over the last 8 years or so. Bathe in it and rejoice, it won't last forever. And when we're old and knackered we can tell our grandchildren "I was there."

But yeah, feel free to vote for a Stoke win guys. You can also get 20/1.

Bring back the name and shame :-)

End of the day, I like to be realistic with my views and not be a happy clapper so I don't always click win (I obviously have for the Stoke game) but it would be good if you could see the names so you can ask them the reasons for saying we will lose. I would be more than happy to discuss my views and opinions if I ever put down a loss in the prediction poll.

If someone wants to discuss their opinion they can out themselves.
FWIW the only one I have predicted lose so far was Chelsea.

Int' break or not, I think we have enouogh hard work and grind to get the win.

Think pep will have 1 eye on Tuesday so all players coming through tonight unscathed I see

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Danilo

Yaya
Gudongan
Silva

Sterling
Jesus
Sane

Hopefully look to get a bit of rest into otamendi and Jesus after an hour if we are in control.

4 people now think we will lose.
How does even the worst self-deprecating City fan get this low?
Unbelievable Jeff

Rag lurkers will be rag lurkers.

Currently fighting the urge to add a 6th just for shits and giggles.

Imagine this scenario for the rags game. I don't think you'd dare do it!
