Very interesting news re Stoke City....

[Angell Delight]

.....Sammy Bangoura has apparently returned to the club! Massive split with their fans on whether they want him to play tomorrow - some say he's their only goal threat and MUST play and others frankly want to lynch him instead!!!! I'd be surprised if he was in the side as he's had no pre-season behind him - and obviously the more important aspect is would putting him in have a great detriment to the Stoke team-spirit.....would you be happy if your team-mate p***ed off for 6 weeks without permission? Difficult to assess whether his unlikely inclusion would help or hinder us really.

Simple, if he scores all is forgiven!

Not by his teammates - one of whom trained all pre-season, then got booted out on the eve of the first match to accommodate him...

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Yeah but if he doesn't play, then Pompey reject Vincent Pericard will play (he played well in their promotion season IIRC).

This is as per Sky Sports Championship weekend preview, which interestingly enough also has us down as a 2-1 win!!!

 

[Smiffy]

I aint bothered either way if he plays...

Not right in the head, over-rated and wont cope against our strong back line.

So there!

 

[EastStandBlue]

How can he perform to the best of his ability with no football or pre season training... the last time he played any kind of competitive football was 3 months ago.


Very convenient time to return though...

 

[Shrimpbizkit]

No worries, Clarkey will have him in his pocket. Pericards a useful player at this level though. Cant say I can name a single other Stoke player apart from those 2!

Luke Chadwick...Michael Duberry...Steve Simonsen??

Chadwick is a nifty little player, simonsen is past it these days. Duberry wasnt he the guy who got charged with rape or something a while ago.

 

[Shrimpbizkit]

Oh well if Duberrys playing we should have a field day!

[sufcintheprem]

John Eustace is a decent player and I'm glad he won't be playing tomorrow.

You tart, call yourself a fan...

I used to limp down The Hall on crutches when I had my broken leg a few years back..

Must try harder.

how many away games did you go last season....again smiffy. Did i see you at blackpool, barnsley, brentford, Col******r.....know who is the true fan

I would normally go but have an operation on monday, and cant risk f%&king up my foot, i know when we score everyone is goin to go mental and i end up hurting it. I might try and pop down the pub, so i might catch up with you sometime.
