Stoke City FC v Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[MrShaun15]

Ballmouth 1-0

 

[Southstandfaithful]

Bournemouth have scored

 

[Timbo]

Thats the stream I've got, its Gary O'Reilly not Gary Stevens.

Sure they said it was Stevens!? Never mind either way.

1622: TEAM NEWS SNAP
Manchester United make 10 changes for their FA Cup fifth-round match against Crawley, Anderson the only survivor from the team that beat Man City 2-1 last week. Wayne Rooney starts on a youthful-looking bench.

I say fine the northern bastards

Will they get fined for fielding a weakened team?

 

[fleet]

every time i've seen batti i've thought we might as well be giving caskey a game

I have never seen Batti play well - he must show something in training to stay in the first team squad

 

[Jerryatric]

Bmuff 1-0 Hudds :-(

 

[chez]

Shit, just seen that Bournemouth are winning.

 

[footychick]

Still top though

 

[Skaville]

Disgusting from Pennant. Simply disgusting

 

[fleet]

Baz coming on for Barnes

 

[jimhigham]

With recent results Gus knows a win midweek will really turn the screws on the chasing pack, particularly if Hudds/Bmuff finishes a draw. Wise to save the squad...

...particularly with Pennant being a "grade A shit" there.

EDIT: Nuts! Bournemouth. I'll be very happy for them to go up in second but want them to stay right there. That said, increases the gap to 3rd place so it's not all bad.

Disgusting from Pennant. Simply disgusting

this awful tackle

 

[Smithy]

Would rather B'mouth win than Hudders. B'mouth have a tough run of games coming up.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

The drink driver should've got a red for that.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

G'wan Baz. Bang in a quick hattrick.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Bmuff 1-0 up

 

[fleet]

Shit, just seen that Bournemouth are winning.

I wish we were laying a league game today (even though it wold have been Monday on Sky) to keep the points moving upwards

 

[Mammoth]

I think Baz and Batti have been playing for their Albion careers- Batti has blown it... something special from Baz maybe?

 

[glasfryn]

how can Stoke be allow to make their pitch smaller for the long throws and yet if quite legally someone stood in front of Delap while taking them it would be wrong .................................f***ing gamesmanship we have to use this to learn very quickly

 

[Diatribe]

I have never seen Batti play well - he must show something in training to stay in the first team squad

Yep, think it's a case of managers liking to play their own signings. Must have seen something to sign im but we haven't seen it.
