Stoke City (a) pre-match thread

[mat]

Jon Moss reffing a match involving his one of his business partners in the dug out.

Might be worth a fiver on Stoke win at 15/1.

Can you please elaborate.

I'll set up a new poll, with seven different options on what people would prefer ;)

Can't we have an option of more than a three goal winning margin?

For 'take City out of their comfort zone' read, kick sh*t out of them and launch it forward at all opportunities, to do the latter you have to have the ball. Look at Chelsea Sunday they did that and it just keeps coming back, the only way that works is if they push 2/3 men forward in case the front man can actually win the duel and that is not going to happen too often.
I am sure every manager tries to come up with a cunning plan to beat us not worked too well so far.

Can't wait for this. Think we will hammer them. One step closer to a glorious 7th of April.

Ederson, Walker, Delph, Vinny, the general, silva, silva, de bruyne, Fern, Kun, Sane. - Top team

Watch out for Charlie Adam committing horrendous tackles.

As full strength as possible for this

Ederson
Walker
Komps
Otto
Danilo

Fern
KDB
Dave

Sterling if fit, if not, Bernardo
Aguero
Sane

Yeah, I can't argue with any of that. I'm normally ok at avoiding gratuitous and/or unnecessary apostrophe use, but when denoting decades I seem to have a blind spot, for some unknown reason.

The Americans do that (drives me round the bend). You must have been American in another life.
They also, for reasons I've never fathomed, use a capital letter after a colon, i.e. "President Trump is in favor of the following the following : Stricter border controls…"

Oh, the Stoke match? Yeah, we'll win that one. Ferny, KDB, Merlin back in that midfield triumvirate. No sweat. Does anyone really think that the result on Wednesday would have panned out the way it did if those three had been there? Of course not.
Oh, and throw Ederson, Walker, Otamendi back into the mix. No, really can't see the Potters getting much change out of this match. That said, any kind of win will do me just fine. Grind rag hope down to a fine powder.

Chuck a few more in just to be sure

Maybe a preliminary poll beforehand on whether that poll should actually be held?

No problem, thanks for the feedback. Happy to revert to the old system if people prefer?

Old system much better Ric. Feel like I am putting a bet on with the revised system.
Anyway City to win.
