Forget 19th century football. This is Stoke City BC

I'd take one of dzeko or negredo off and bring on jovetic.

I can see how this match is taking shape now. I hope the beast is more involved today.

Demichelis is in AGAIN!! OMG is MP his secret father? He's not good enough to play for us, he's a liability.

 

[RandomJ]

Fuck sake Demichelis stay on your fucking feet. The only way they can trouble us is free kicks.

 

[Rocko_1]

Silva is fucking class.

+1

All 11 behind the ball this is not going to be easy

Stoke parking the bus with a 4-6-0, amazing.

And you were expecting, er, what? For them to come and go toe to toe with us?

And that's the reaction i wanted. People didn't understand why City were playing defensive against Barcelona.

Slight difference. On tuesday we were at home in the first leg; the onus was on us to try to get some sort advantage to take over to the Nou camp. Stoke will be delirious if they end up getting a point here. I don't blame them for trying to scrape a 0-0.
