After his performance last night do you reckon Pulis will have Arismendi play some part..?
No, nor me...

I think Begovic will play, otherwise its odd that Sorro played vs Valencia. And, no, there's no way Arismendi will get ahead of Palacios, Delap, Whitehead, Whelan or even Diao. Even though he should.

2-0. We're going to get that Stoke City edge back, or at least start seeing us instil that fighting characteristic that makes us unique.

Hopefully the poor performance at Crawley, and the 'second string' putting in such a good shift on thursday will give the 'first team' a rate kick up the arse, players like Etherington, Walters, Crouch and Whelan need to start showing some form or lose their place.
In theory anyway, none of them are going to lose their place.
Anyway, as has been pointed out, Pulis is under plenty of pressure for this game by dropping so many players on thursday, no excuses.
Anyway I say a comfortable 2-0 win and the start of a run which will make this one of the best seasons in our history.

"We need to pick some points up," admitted the Stoke boss. "We've got enough games to do it and I'm just hoping and praying it drops for us on Sunday. "Every team that have gone the distance (in the Europa League) have found it difficult to keep the momentum going. We have to make sure we focus ourselves now and try to get an extra 10 points. "We need another 10 points to stay in the Premier League and we've got a massive FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool. The lads will relish that. We'll be rank outsiders, and rightly so, but we'll be fully committed "It's been very taxing on the players and it's been very hard getting them back up for Sunday games but the players have really enjoyed it. "It's been draining for me too but I've got to get myself going. Occasions like this you live for and you dream about." Pulis rested key players for the trip to Valencia and is expected to restore many of them to the starting line-up against the Swans. One dilemma is whether to pick Asmir Begovic or Thomas Sorensen in goal, with some speculating - given Pulis' rotation policy - that Sorensen's inclusion in Spain would see Begovic start on Sunday. But Pulis added: "I just wanted to give Thomas a game. "Asmir's played the last couple of games and I've always rotated. I think the goalkeepers are very close in lots of respects. I thought Thomas did smashing." www1.skysports.com/football/news/11701/7543178/

Jones was better against Valencia than Crouch was against Valencia, Crawley or Fulham, so Jones should start imo. He's a confidence player and after having a good game against Valencia and then being dropped would mean that the next time he plays he's more likely to miss easy chances, as we saw last night.

Bego Wilko Shawcross Woodgate Wilson Pennant Arismendi Whitehead Ethers Fuller Jerome
but I reckon it might be
Sorro Wilko Shawcross Upson Wilson Walters Whitehead Whelan Ethers Crouch Jerome

What's your deal with Pulis, Barney?
Sure he's frustrating at times, but do you really think any other manager could have had so much success with our team?

I think it will be a draw, which if we beat Norwich won't be too bad Under current form.

not getting into a debate about MY hatred for the welsh prick, yes he's done a good job blah bloody blah, yes look where we have come from blah bloody blah, But it's where we are going that bothers me and the complete and utter fucking negative one dimensional dross that we dish out week in week out, i express my opinion openly that is my right, i don't and never questioned people that think he's the best thing since Nuttella, so don't expect people to question me, it only ends up in rows
My last post on this matter
