[Big Dave Watson]

I hope Mancini has studied the video of Chelsea turning them over the other week to see how to go about this game.

Ensure Walters is playing for them?

Where is everyone going for a beer pre game?

Iv only ever driven to stoke in the past so need to take full advantage as I'm getting the train this time?

Surely he'll play lescott (spec as i doubt lecott will play v qpr on wed) due to the height he gives us. Apart from that the only other change I'd make is aguerro for tevez? Then go back to tevez for qpr.

Should we rest Zabba and some of the players , i m sure we can beat Stoke with half of strength ,they are the worst team i watch this season against City and they form even drop.

Simply because only a Manure supporter would join Bluemoon and, with his very first post, recommend that City throw away their chances of progress in the FA Cup. As anybody with an ounce of intelligence would agree, we need a very strong team to get anything from the Potteries, especially in a cup competition.

Had him in my fantasty team for that one: 2 own goals and a missed penalty = -4 points. Thanks a lot!

FFS as if Stoke away on a cold winter's day wasn't enough now we've got Howard fucking Webb in the middle!

Give him a break - only joined this morning - and he is trying to 'talk'
manc.

 

[Infirmus Cygnus]

Treat it like any other Premier League game, strongest side out against another EPL side. We need to keep all options open for Silverware. We know that you can't take anything for granted in the league, so FFS maximise every opportunity.

If RM ends the season empty handed, it shouldn't be a problem for him keeping his job in this ruthless business. But if 2013/14 is also barren, it may be.

Never Easy Going to stoke, not the nicest of places either, but with them off form, we Must at least get a draw..

Form will go out the window in the cup .... they have some 'big days and nights' at the Britannia , and we're gonna have to put in a hard days work to make sure they don't have another one !

At least you weren't wearing the club shop at the time.

Stoke away in a cup tie is not a fixture that anyone can really be looking forward to. It'll be a battle and we need to go into expecting a hard physical game on a compact pitch. Not really our forte these days. I still think we can win - just, but I'm predicting a 1-1. We will take them apart in the replay at our place.

All pitches in the Premiership are the same size?

You're right, mate. The rules changed last year, my mistake.

Didn't we beat them 3 - 0 three weeks back?

Don't we beat them every year at home? Away is a different game mate much harder.

Never an easy place to go, and there is quite a bit of needle with Pulis at the moment.

I would love us to win and have a good cup run, but its not the be all and end all of the season.

Prepare for long grass, divots, towels and rugby tackles!

It's live on ITV 12:45 KO, so best mute the commentary then ;-)

i dont ever remember a cup win, even at the old victoria ground

 

[BlackSam16]

has anyone got two tickets for this game, ready to pay anything !

 

[dom]

We can, and should, win this game...

Believe..
