Losing Begovic is gonna hurt but I think we have a huge chance to improve upon what was already a great season last year. Honestly looking for us to finish top half again and possibly compete for a spot in Europa if luck happens to be on our side.

we've played him at cb and rb this preseason. He's told Hughes the last couple seasons he wanted to try out mid so he might get some play there but I wouldn't count on much of it.

Given they made him sit out of the gold cup I expect him to see a large amount of play time. He's played an integral role for us since he's arrived I don't see any reason for that to change now.

LINK

quote:

Arsenal and Liverpool now have FEWER Champions League winners than Stoke City... so, how many does your club have?

Ibrahim Afellay signed for Stoke City in a free transfer last Monday Afellay joins Champions League winners Marc Muniesa and Bojan at Stoke

Only Manchester United and Chelsea have more Champions League winners in their current squads


Stoke stacked.

Pretty shitty showing for us in the colonia cup this weekend. Lost 2-1 to FC Koln and 3-0 to Porto.

On the bright side were one week away from beating the piss out of Liverpool again!

Halfway point 29 points and as of now 3 points out of 4th.

Can't complain at all.

ETA: 6 points back of 4th. 2 away from 5th. Math is hard

That game today was wild. Arnautovic has done well for my fantasy team the last couple of weeks.
