The midweek/weekend games thread

oh my

 

[billyiddo]

Guys and girls I think this was mentioned and discussed before but why do Stoke have a smaller pitch for the premier league games and a wider and longer pitch for their European games??

think they use the minimum allowed for each competition - but the minimum in the prem is smaller

Worldy

 

[VolSpur]

ooh baby Crouchy

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Why do we have no one that can spank a ball from long range, other than the Hudd. VdV possibly but haven't seen him score a zim Zimmer
who got the keys to me bimmer

 

[VolSpur]

has anyone else see that?

the fluidity in motion, that is Peter Crouch.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Crouch does that all the time. Hands on players for no reason!

The flying deckchair!

Edit: VolSpur's a Yank. Can anyone post a picture of a deckchair? I lack the knowledge.....

Ah right missed that!

"This has been tough for Stoke, as expected" said the commentator just then. As expected? That's weird, aren't we always told that these fancy foreign teams wouldn't be able to handle a cold night at a place like Stoke?

Really enjoyed that half of football (Porto City)

Porto moving the ball about really slick, and properly closing City down as a unit, aggressive, getting in their faces and City don't like it.

Ref is awful though, favouring neither side, just whistle happy and seems a massive dingdonghead as well.

Anything going on Stoke-wise?

Stoke's set pieces havent been good. Shame knowing thats their best chance of scoring.

 

[stupid632]

Any one care to explain this 'worldy' to me? Currently watching Porto-City, so missed it

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Turkish dude Tapal or whatever his name is picked up the ball from about 28 yards out and unleaded a right footer in to the top left corner. Unstoppable. Bang

They were always going to struggle in the Heineken....

I hate Etherington, all he does is run straight. Like Downing. Rubbish player. But always effective against us

you mean like a chair you put on a deck?

It's much more complicated than that!

 

[Jurgen the German]

Anyone else notice the Porto fans making monkey noises towards Balotelli?

Jim Beglin is one of the worst commentators ever. When Toure dived in the first half he made excuses for him, but he's always quick to jump on the foreign team if they do it.
