Early Saturday Open Thread: Stoke v. Stoke Edition

We've got a few hours to wait until Liverpool face Aston Villa, so we should probably soak it up ahead of next weekend's visit to Bournemouth in the FA Cup, which kicks off at 12:45PM GMT/7:45AM EST. Woof. Anyhow, most things today come at a reasonable enough hour other than the Sunderland v. Southampton kickoff (go Fabio!), with a host of Premier League matches on offer--including Pulis v. Pulis--to go along with the rest of the Football League and a sprinkling of offerings throughout Europe's other leagues.
