I was wondering if any of you guys support a football team?

I support Liverpool FC but I have an attachment to Stoke City FC as well.

What're your thoughts on your team and how do you expect your leagues to finish?

Personally, I feel Manchester United will scrape the premiership, followed by Arsenal, then Chelsea, then Liverpool. Manchester City and Everton will get European spots. Derby, Fulham and Middlesbrough will be relegated.

I used to support Stoke City. I last went in 1986 and then gave it up because I got bored. I still look out for their results though. I had the 1972 league cup final dvd for Christmas.

I think Stoke have a good chance of promotion this year, they need to be more adventurous once they score, and stop all these annoying 1-1 draws. If only the could find a decent striker to go with Fuller. My second team is Aston Villa because my cousin supports them.

I've been to every Stoke home game this season and it's a definate improvement on recent seasons. As for Fuller's partner, I believe that if Cresswell is given a run up front then he will come good. Now we have Griffin, Pugh can go left-midfield and Cressy can partner Fuller.

Greetings

Was it 1992 when Chester City denied Stoke City promotion ?

I remember being there to cheer Gary Bennett's last minute winner !

Cheers, Paul M, Chester.

Would that have been 25th April 1992 at the Victoria Ground, Stoke 0 Chester 1?

Stoke were 2nd and lost 3-1 at Bolton the week after to finish 4th, then lost to Stockport in the play-offs.

Yep - that's the one !

I haven't been to your new stadium yet.

Though driven past it many times going to Blackbrook or Twycross.

Do those open corners cause any wind issues ?

Cheers, Paul M.

Zoospud, those open corners cause a huge draught throughout the ground, it's not the best...

However, now Peter Coates has bought the stadium back, if Stoke get promoted, the corners will be filled in to increase attendance.

Even the Icelandics complained about the cold.

15-01-2008

Well if Peter Coates is back in charge thats promotion gone then,so i won`t have to worry about my beloveded Aston Villa ever playing them in the Premership then now will I.

15-01-2008

Stoke will just have to wait for you to get relegated then.

16-01-2008

Currently Coates is taking Stoke closer to the premiership than the Icelandics ever did, they nearly steered the club into league 1!

Personally, I still see Stoke slipping away right at the death, much like last season...

16-01-2008

Well am cheering on stoke in there FA Cup replay with Newcastle. Just hope liverpool dont slip up tonight, and they show everyone what they are capable off.

But you can see rafa looks like hes on his way out!

16-01-2008

The trouble is it is every season!

16-01-2008

Not a chance as long as we keep Martin O`Neil as manager which looks very likely as hes got a very good relationship with Randy Learner.

My cousin has a season ticket at Villa, he says they are playing better than last season.
