Stoke winger Matthew Etherington faces a race against time to be fit for the FA Cup final on 14 May after a scan revealed he had torn his hamstring.


Can't see him recover from a TORN hamstring in 2 weeks.

A hamstring tear is a 5-6 week injury. If its torn, he has no chance. Tevez has a 2 week head start and he's still struggling; Richards has a 5 week heaf start and he still hasnt played either.

I heard Pulis stating they might chasnce it and start him as they have 3 subs to use - go ahead Tony and you do that, as the player wont last 15 minutes, especially as the tear is in his left (main kicking) leg.

This is great news, he is a great player who could have made it right to the top without his gambling problems

Didn't he score a late equalizer in our last game against them?

Yes Joe should have saved it really but we all blamed Kolo at the time for losing possession, little did we know his mind was on his waistline

Frankly Wembley is so much wider than the Britannia and most any other pitch for that matter, his throw-ins in the semi looked pedestrian.

The problem with his throws isn't just the distance, it's the trajectory. I heard a Prem keeper (I forget which one) talking about them a while back and he said it's hard keeping an eye on the ball in stadiums because he throws them low and relatively flat (compared to mere mortals) so you can't track it as it arcs through the sky like normal.
