Grind an away win out with that team, we need to be direct as fuck for once and hit Edin with as many balls as possible.

Is anyone else worried about this?
If we don't win, our chances of slipping further behind Maureen and the chavs is a real possibility.
We also could be fighting for 4th place if we don't get our game together sharpish!

Your timing for this post is impecable

We need to win ugly and adopt a physical approach for this one, we aren't going to pass around Stoke we have to go through them and battle. Our team is capable of it.

A lot of finger pointing, pellers to be sacked etc etc. A lot of people should be just greatful for what we have, not expect everything. Sure, were not in good form at the moment, but people go on like we will be fighting relegation soon.

Jesus Christ there are some right vaginas on here, weve been poor recently granted but talk of the manager to be sacked, Stoke being our toughest away fixture to date and dropping Hart are quite frankly ridiculous.

I expect us to grind out a win Wednesday night and whilst it will be anything but easy Stoke are nowhere near as good nor as physical as they have been in years gone by.

On a side note (and possible proof I also talk rubbish) I also think the blue dippers will get a point at Chelsea!

I don't understand this logic at all. We are far better at football than them, so they will try and level the playing field by turning into a physical battle instead. So we should just play into their hands and do the same? Surely we should take advantage of our strengths instead of playing to theirs? Obviously we have to stand up to the physical battle, but we'd be stupid to abandon our technical advantage and not play football.

We have tried that approach for years against them, why do you think they twat Arsenal every year? When Utd go Stoke they don't go to score beautiful goals they mix it up with them and play them at their own game. Same as when we finally beat Sunderland, we need to press them all of the park for a change not the other way round and make them feel uncomfortable on the ball.

In case you haven't noticed the whole team is out of form including the untouchable Aguero, who by the looks of it needs a to find his sharpness.
