It's not Stoke you are scared of, it's the big game scenario and what's on it.
Try and take it in isolation. If we were playing Stoke today at Eastlands, over 90 per cent of our fans would expect a win.
We have big-game performers. And in Tevez, the person who will make the difference.
Ask yourself this, if it came to a game of who can score the most if desperation measures were needed, City would wipe them out.
Score in the first 20 minutes and we could be treated to the biggest winning margin in recent seasons.
Do not underestimate what beating United at Wembley will do for us on the big day.
