Should be a good game this one this afternoon, I really think it will be a close affair.

Just about to set off. Wish us luck fellas.

Is there any way that St*ke and Bolton can both lose?

Choosing between Staffordshire and Paul Robinson participating in the FA Cup Final is like choosing between Michael Jackson and Joseph Fritzl to come and babysit for you.

I'm just glad it's on ESPN so I don't have the displeasure of having to watch it.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #82 on:** April 17, 2011, 01:10:56 PM »

I personally think that we will see a fair few goals in this game today, both teams are simlair in that they play some decent football and they can play direct football too.

Political Cake · « **Reply #83 on:** April 17, 2011, 04:35:29 PM »

Absolutely destroying Bolton, 3-0 before half an hour.

The only bright side to this result is that we will finally get to see if Stoke's style of football and Rory Delap's throws do cause European teams problems in next seasons Europa League.

Ive got to admit to being jealous that next season Birmingham Fans and Stoke fans will get to witness something I have wished to see for years yet dont think I will ever which is a European tour. Trying to look for the positives and one of them is to see the intriguing battle between Stoke (Delap) and sides from Italy and Spain.

I reckon, despite what some snobbish journalists said this year when Andy Gray asked the question about barca and Stoke, that actually they might cause some problems.

Some Bolton fans left the ground after the third goal went in

It would be, they could still make the Europa League.

kris_boing · « **Reply #88 on:** April 17, 2011, 06:26:31 PM »

If Man City qualify for the Champions League which is looking probable, Stoke will qualify for Europa League football regardless if they beat city in the final.

If anybody had said that Blues and Stoke would qualify for Europe at the start of the season I'd have said get yourself checked out.

Just goes to show that average size clubs like us can achieve great things even in these football times.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #89 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:18:05 PM »

Yes it can and who knows another club which know one would expect to get into Europe, might get there next season.

shows what can be done when the so called 'smaller teams' take the cup competitions seriously, i don't like them and never will but good luck to them

Tipton Baggie · « **Reply #91 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:45:07 PM »

Should of been played at Twickenham

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #92 on:** April 17, 2011, 09:24:57 PM »

Just thinking if we had taken the Ipswich game more seriously or the Reading game, we could have been in that situation.

Aixelsyd · « **Reply #93 on:** April 17, 2011, 09:40:15 PM »

Personally I just think it's brilliant for them

Well Done and Good Luck.......

I know they are a Team we love to hate but still they are a "small-ish" club in a postition we would just love to be in

OldburyWBA · « **Reply #94 on:** April 17, 2011, 09:41:17 PM »

As much as I hate Stoke, I genuinely hope they go and win it now.

kris_boing · « **Reply #95 on:** April 17, 2011, 10:56:51 PM »

No sorry - cant ever want them or their brand of 'football' to succeed.

Hope Man City batter them.

Huths goal today was a cracker, as was Etheringtons

Huth's was a poor goal really, he didn't connect with the ball properly, it was just awful goalkeeping really. Should have been a routine save.

The only reason I want them to win is to stop the moneybags side buying the cup.

I'd prefer them to be in the final than a plastic club like Chelsea though.
