Stoke have started the season the better of the two sides but have a tough trip to Kiev just three days before this game, how do you think the match will go?

Well it isn't going to be a very engaging or pretty spectacle, let's hope we don't let ourselves be bullied

Of all the ex-Mackems in the Stoke squad(Higginbotham, Sorensen, Collins, Whitehead, Delap, Jones) who would you take back to the Stadium of Light for this campaign?

Jones would walk back into our side, Collins would fill our gap as we have a bit of a hole in defence already. (O'Shea injured, Bardsley suspended and Ferdinand has gone.)

If you could pick one Stoke player for your team?

I'd have Matty Etherington, may be a poor mans Malbranque but we don't have him no more and I'm sure Etherington would be good for us

If you could give one of your players to Stoke?

I think we'd have to give you Elmohammady as he's terrible
