Not a match I would have looked forward to a couple of seasons ago but credit to Hughes and their board for looking to bring the quality of Shaqiri to the club and I look forward to this one following our exciting start.

Barring injury I don't think you should change last weeks line up. At home I think we can get a narrow win here.

Looking forward to this. 2 teams that will play to win the game, and 2 teams who now play very nice football, when 2 seasons ago last time we played them it was the exact opposite. They have some great options up front now with Shaqiri, Diouf, Arnautovic, Afellay, Bojan (who is fortunately for us not likely to be back quite yet),Joselu as well as the likes of Crouch, Odemwingie and Walters. Walters will likely have some say in the game seeing how we had a bid rejected earlier this week. As for us, like others I see no reason to change the team that won at Sunderland. No idea which way this will go in all honesty. It wouldn't overly surprise me if they were like Palace and just had that extra bit of quality and punished us, but I don't know. I'll play it safe and go for 1-1, really hoping though we can pull a win out the bag here.

Why on earth are people booing the water breaks? It hasnt really interrupted our momentum if that's the feeling?

Nuts! There must be about a 3-4 minute delay on my stream as during the water-break I logged into the BBC site to see the other scores and it said we were 1-1
Incidentally Bournemouth are 2-0 up away to Wet Spam

Thats the kind of conrtrived goal you concede on Football Manager. Ruddy very lucky there. Tettey not having the best of games today

Second best in all areas really. Stoke have been superior, I think they've had 58% possession and was 64% at one point. Shaquiri has looked good for them, they've looked slick and by comparison we've looked quite pub-teamy. We've very very lucky to be level at half-time. Think Neil needs to give them a bit of a rollocking cuz theres too much sloppiness. Wes however showing how flat we would be without him. At the heart of everything good we've done. Perhaps leaving Wes out so much was the biggest mistake Hughton made

Stoke are only still in this because of Butland. He's done very well

Commentator after the game said Norwich will perhaps reflect on a dreadful miss by Cameron Jerome. My stream froze a couple of times so did I miss something? Butland (like Marshall in the infamous Cardiff game) was the only reason we didnt win that game. Stoke were the better team in the first half but we wiped the floor with them in the second. Butland made a number o good interventions against Jerome, but did I miss a 'dreadul miss'?

He had a good one-on-one chance but it was hardly a dreadful miss. As you say, great goalkeeping was the only reason we didn't win that. I can't help looking at the Bournemouth game though and thinking, Callum Wilson... the one that got away.

21 shots vs 6 shots But I cant believe we only had 42% possession. Wonder if thats just the first half statistic?

Butland was brilliant but that Jerome miss was fecking dreadful. One on one and put it about three yards wide. Hoolahan also put a free header miles wide. Need to take those chances.
