Re City kit [19:09]: I was there at Wembley for that game, playing Gillingham. Extraordinary match with City's equaliser like Aguero's winning goal in 2012. Guess who the Gillingham manager was and his link to tonight's game?

As Chappers and co discuss England's lack of striking options for the World Cup I'm watching Peter Crouch's 100 Premier League goals on Sky.

Stoke are actually worse off in the Premier League table since Paul Lambert replaced Mark Hughes, but Lambert has won more points per game. It's all concertinaed up down at the bottom.

Robbie Savage
Ex-Leicester City & Wales midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live
I think goal difference will be very important for Stoke. They got beat 7-2 at the Etihad under Mark Hughes.
Maybe they’ll take a 1-0 loss tonight. You’ve had a go but not got embarrassed. At this stage of the season, though I know fans might not be happy with that, it’s about points on the board and not conceding lots of goals.

No stripes but Manchester City are wearing their all black, or is it very dark blue, away kit tonight.
No Sergio Aguero of course - he's injured - but it's still a very strong side indeed.

As is this kit.

I played for the first time in over a year in the snow. Glad to say I got through it uninjured, had a great time and the snow falling in the floodlights was beautiful. And no one wore gloves!

YES Scott. This is exactly what we need...
My son's team lost their county cup semi final on penalties at the weekend, but all the boys left with smiles on their faces and closer together for the experience. Football makes them better people. Football is good.

Well, sort of.

There are records to break though. City have scored 83 goals already this season. Only 13 clubs have ever scored more in a complete Premier League campaign.
