Carrying on from our 'Views From The Opposition' feature, further Stoke City fans have answered our series of questions ahead of Evertons upcoming Premiership encounter with Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday.
Further opinions from Stoke City fans will be published in the run up to Sundays match.
1) Not a bad start to the season with 3 points from 3 games and progression in the Carling Cup. What are your expectations for this season?
tittytwister
To have a masive go at staying up which seems like we will be doing from last 2 games, will be happy as larry if we do.
mama-mia
To battle really hard to avoid relegation but if at all possible (which i think it could be) to finish around 14th-16th, as long as we don't have many first team injuries...that would be a great season in my opinion
rorymscfc
Pleased with the league start - especially the level of the performances. Still reeling from the fact that we actually managed to win a Carling Cup game!
2) 10 new recruits including three on deadline day, costing £20million, surely your clubs summer activities lived up to your expectations?
tittytwister
Am pritty pleased with our buys, was hoping for Zigic but Fat Ronaldo looks like he's coming to the Brit
mama-mia
I'm rather satisfied with our signings to be honest and all of them (except olofinjana) have previous premier experience which is a bit of a winner and i'd much rather have our players rather than takin risks than West Brazil have done on signing unproven Dutch players. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get another forward tho tbh...
rorymscfc
Very pleased, but as with all football supporters everywhere, you always wish you could just have got that one more player...
3) Who do you think is your most important player(s)
tittytwister
Fuller, Lawrence, Delap and Abdoulebye (sp) Faye.
mama-mia
Fuller, Lawrence, Sorenson (will have a lot to do this season, so has to be on form), Delap, A D Faye n possibly Kitson.
rorymscfc
Fuller & Lawrence.
4) Your worst player(s)
tittytwister
Pericard
mama-mia
Gotta be big Vincent Pericard, followed by Lewis Buxton.
rorymscfc
If Pericard gets on the pitch against you then we're in trouble!
5) Do you have any exciting young prospects that we wouldn't know about?
tittytwister
Dickinson and Wilkinson our 2 young full backs although not up to Prem standard yet.
mama-mia
Well, there's Wilko n Dicko that are rather promising but havn't had enough experience at Championship level in my opinion, never mind premiership n then for teh future, there's Tom Thorley n Jimmy Phillips who look like they're gonna be decent players in the future.
rorymscfc
Not really.
6) Do you have any chants that require an explanation?
tittytwister
Delilah will be asked about how it became our song god knows heard more then a few storys why it has.
mama-mia
Well yeah, gotta be Deliah ain't it??? lol.
rorymscfc
Delilah is the obvious one but it might be fun to keep the shroud of mystery around that one! Also "We'll be with you" is from the 1972 League Cup final. References may also be made to a team called Port Vale who don't exist in any meaningful sense anymore, although I think they did you in the FA cup a few years ago???
7) Could you give any advice such as suggesting an appropriate pub for away fans?
tittytwister
Town center is a no no.
mama-mia
Dunno really, spose the Harvester would be a safe bet to be honest...
rorymscfc
Harvester, Power League and Holiday Inn near the ground should be fine. Stay well away from town - I think a few of your lot had problems in town when you came down for the Cup game a few years ago and not much has changed sadly!
8) What do you think of Evertons summer activities?
tittytwister
Was expecting more buys from you lot, but had alot of s**t from a Everton supporting mate how [Poor language removed] Carlo Nash is, was a good laugh when I heard you signed him although he is more then decent back up.
mama-mia
I've gotta admit that I thought you would've got a few more quality signings under your belt to be honest but you've made good signings in Saha and that Fellani bloke, as well as Carlo Nash who is actually a very decent keeper altho it does sound that he was a bit of a panick buy and certainly not Moyes' first choice tbh...
rorymscfc
Surprisingly quiet. I'm sure many of your fans are very disappointed.
9) Where do you think Everton will finish in the league?
tittytwister
8th
mama-mia
Around 5th - 8th
rorymscfc
I can see Man City and Villa overtaking you so the best you can hope for is probably 7th. Realistically though 8th-10th.
10) Which Everton player(s) do you fear the most?
tittytwister
The Yak, Arteta and Cahill if he's fit.
mama-mia
Gotta be Yakubu, Osman, Arteta, Saha, Cahill and Lescott (quite a few really haha)
rorymscfc
Cahill, Arteta and Yakubu.
11) Finally, What do you think the score will be? If you are feeling brave, name the scorers!
tittytwister
2-1 Higginbotham, Lawrence and Yakubu for you.
mama-mia
Gotta go with the majority and say a Scrappy Stoke win 2-1 (Kitson and Sonko/Higgy for Stoke + Osman for Everton)
rorymscfc
The victory over Villa has given us all cause for optimism, especially given your dodgy start to the season. I'll go for 2-1 to Stoke. Lawrence and Leon Cort to get on the scoresheet for us.
Further opinions from Stoke City fans will be published in the run up to Sundays match.
