Stoke City – Opposition Views

27th Aug 2010, In Opposition Views, by Steve

Buxton from Stokecity-mad.co.uk answers some questions on tomorrows game!

- How long have you supported Stoke City? I have supported them for 17 years, since I was six years old.

- What are you expectations for Stoke this season? I expect us to stay up, and despite the bad start I expect us to do it rather comfortably. We’ve got good options at both ends, not so good in the midfield, possibly why we bypass it, but seeing as we can defend that gives us an advantage over half the league.

Wigan Athletic – Opposition Views

- Name? Dj_yaz_04 from Wiganer.net

- How long have you supported Wigan Athletic? I have Supported Wigan for as long as I can remember, from about the age of 6.

- What are your expectations for the coming season and where do you think Wigan will finish? Unfortunately another relegation battle. We will be in it this year, unless Whelan puts his hand into his pocket instead of only using money which we get from selling players. We have the nice football and all the show but if you can’t grind the results out, which we haven’t been able to do since Bruce, then there is only one way. Personally I think 14th if we get our act together and play as a team instead of looking like we have never seen each other before. We have decent individual quality but that means nothing when you need to pull together and scrap it out.

West Brom – Opposition Views

Name? Nocky from Westbrom.com

- How long have you supported West Brom for? My Dad took me to my first game when I was 4/5. I remember it was in the old terraced stands so he put me on his shoulder so I could see the game. I’m 24 now so I guess you could say I’ve been a supporter for 20 years or so. I used to be a season ticket holder when I was younger but tend to get to around 15-20 games a season now due to other commitments. Still as passionate as ever though. Nothing beats the buzz of an Albion win for me and nothing can ruin my weekend quite like an Albion defeat.

Manchester United – Opposition Views Part 2

- Name? Stand Free from Redcafe.net

- How long have you supported Manchester United for? 22 years

- Have you enjoyed watching your pre season and what were some positives and negatives from those games? Always nice to watch the pre-season games, get an idea for the way the team will set up for the season and see some of the youngsters and new boys getting a run out. Positives certainly have been the performances of the youngsters, Cleverley, Welbeck, Obertan and Macheda in particular but Javier Hernandez has been the standout. He looks a real talent and a potential star in the making. Negatives, and a few people have touched on this, but the defensive performance has been poor on occasion but I’m confident that’ll be ironed out. Can never judge too much during pre-season.

Manchester United – Opposition Views Part 1

So who are you? Rory65 from Redcafe.net

How long have you supported Manchester United for? 16 years

Have you enjoyed watching your pre season and what were some positives and negatives from those games? After the World Cup, which was such a treat if not a great tournament, it’s always great to see United back in action. It’s been especially enjoybale this year as a lot of young players have been given a chance to shine and some of them, such as Welbeck and Cleverley, have really shown encouraging signs for the future while Hernandez has looked very exciting in his 1st couple of games. We’ve looked a little suspect defensively but I’m sure that’s partly due to not being fully ready yet while we’ve also been without key players like Vidic and Evra who will be back for Sunday’s game.

Internazionale – Opposition Views

16th Mar 2010, In Opposition Views, by James Porter

So who are you?
My is Ahmad (Skeet from forzainterforums.com)

How long have you supported Inter Milan for?
I have supported inter for around ten year now.

What are you expectations for the remainder of the season?
I think that the remainder of both teams’ seasons will depend largely on the outcome of the Chelsea – inter game, the team that progresses will most likely ride on the momentum of winning such a big game and will definitely have a better chance of taking there respective domestic titles, especially with the contenders in both leagues having a period of good form. I also believe that one of inter or Chelsea will reach the final of the Champions League if they do not encounter barcelona in their remaining games.
