good draw for stoke, hopefully Derby won't do a Burnley.

[Kardan]

[British]

yeah, because stoke are like chelsea arent they.

[Calabrian]

Grr
i wanted a Man U vs Arsenal draw

Hopefully a non premiership side will get to the final [preferably not watford :D]

[Malachy]

Was gonna say :P.
HOPEFULLY atleast one of the Championship sides can make it through, but I doubt it looking at those ties.

[Wootzeh]

I meant championship side beating a premiership side :rolleyes:

[British]

I meant championship side beating a premiershop side :rolleyes:

He's rite. They are serious terrible. They only score from throw ins. In Jan. some club will buy Delap and then Stoke won't score at all, they'll just concede
:D

[Wootzeh]

Only score from throwins? Not so sure about that :S. yes we'll sell him, if someone offered 25mil lmao. If we're at Derby's level howcome we've already got more points than them?

Sorry but stoke have scored over half their goals this season from Delap assists, so fine, u mostly score from throw ins. If u were offered 5mil for him, you'd sell him.

No Delap & Fuller = No Stoke.

[Wootzeh]

No Delap & Fuller = No Stoke.

You've obviously never seen them play...

[Calabrian]

I have seen them play and they are more boring to watch then Derby

They always play for a draw, even against the bottom teams.

I guess your the one who hasn't seen them play

We've had 2draws, against liverpool at Anfield and at wigan away :S every point counts :)

Indeed but playing for a draw makes boring football!

[Kaveri]

... and how ******* lucky were you against Liverpool?

lol.

[JackBuddy]

Stoke, Spurs, United & Arsenal.

I'd actually rather play Arsenal out of those four teams.

Is that because you know that you'll be facing a team average age of 18?

I think Arsenal are the worst team to face. They will simply embarass you and make you look terrible
:P

Your thoughts?

Stoke, United, Arsenal, Watford

They're my semi teams i think :D

[Calabrian]

I think it will be:

Derby
Man U
Arsenal
Spurs

In the semi's :(

:P
No, it will be the only team that will really fire up Spurs. They allways put on a good game against Arsenal.

The team with the average age of 18 somehow let 5 goals in at White Hart Lane last season!

Oh. You're a spurs fan. THat explains in.

[Andeeh]

Stoke City vs Derby County - stoke
Manchester United vs Blackburn Rovers - Man u
Burnley vs Arsenal - Burnley (shock of the round)
Watford vs Tottenham Hotspur - Tottenham

[Geraint]

You've obviously never seen them play...

You honestly think Stoke play passing football :S

They got promoted last season through "bully boy" tactics. They had big lumpers up front and a very strong, physical, in-your-face team. If they played passing football, they wouldn't have made the pitch smaller, would they. I know Highbury was small but that's a different story.

[Loser]

Don't be ridiculous. Stoke are not a passing side. A passing goal against Rotherham, doesn't prove otherwise.

I didn't say they played passing football lol, but they can mix it up.

[Calabrian]

good passing football for the 2nd :)

I believe u did say that they can play gd passing football.

[Wootzeh]

I believe u did say that they can play gd passing football.
and they can :S which resulted in the goal against rotherham. I'm not saying they do it all the time because that's not what they want to do.

U make no sense
I minute they play gd passing football, next minute, u didnt say that.

That last post of urs just confused me. That's not wot they do....so y say they play gd passing football? *** ur so confusing!

you really are an idiot. :rolleyes:
The goal they scored against rotherham was good passing football... But that's not how they usually play i'll admit that.

[Calabrian]

lol im in idiot for not understanding the jibberish ur writing
:S

If u typed that first time, instead of over 6 posts, i wud have understood u, but u didnt.

I conclude: Stoke do not play attractive football. Most of stoke's goals are scored from throw ins and Delap always assists them. If Delap gets injured or gets sold in january, its BYE STOKE and Hello CHAMPIONSHIP
