Just wanted to say very well done Tony Pulis for sticking with your own principles despite the majority view wanting something different.
I am a huge Tuncay fan and will readily admit to being disappointed that he was a sub today and Mama ( AKA Stanley Sidibe after his wing play today lol) was starting up front.
Despite not being a big Mama fan i have to gladly admit that you were spot on in playing him today and he definitely delivered a performance which in my opinion was one of his best for ages.
With Dean Whitehead we have another buy who seemed useless in his early days but once again you persevered and in recent weeks he has actually played very well and with a passion not unlike Wilkos, and today got a goal which i believe he deserved for all of his efforts.
The whole team played very well today with passion, determination and belief ,and we beat the mighty Arsenal who imho are probably the best team in this league and who on their day can wipe the floor with most teams if they are allowed.
We never gave them the time or space and it was a joy to watch and see us upset all the critics who have us down as the new Wimbledon . Yes we play to our advantages but what team doesn't? and we are definitely not just route one as our goals showed today.
I have supported Stoke a bloody long time, i have been depressed so many weekends after dismal results in the lower leagues and put on many a brave face after defeats to teams like Blyth Spartans in the cups.
I must be getting all sentimental in my old age, but i have never felt so proud to be a Stoke fan in all my years as a loyal supporter so thanks Tony and thanks Mr Coates for being one of us and coming back to resurrect our proud club.
I don't know about the rest of my fellow Stokies but every time i read or hear on tv that Stoke, yes Stoke are one of the few clubs who can actually afford to sign new players i have to pinch myself to check i am not dreaming! ( Usually its Cheryl Cole led on the bed with just a Stoke shirt on lol)
Now after today unbelievably, im starting to think that maybe just maybe this could be our year and we could win the F A cup! Yes i know its still a long way off but to actually be thinking along those lines would of been unheard of a few seasons ago wouldn't it?
This shows how far we have come in recent times. Great support today from all who went to the match, lets keep it up and maybe we can do this.
Goaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrnnn Stoke!!!!!!!!!!!

think it goes back to the thread cpl of days back about whether you preferred Points or Style ! cpl of people, me included agreed that it as neither, it as if you play well , Stoke (just like eveery other team) have their style of play, but if yo udont play it well, what difference does it make ! the 11 game slump we have been in, so many people have blamed Pulis for several different reasons, and some valid, but the lack of quality coming from about 6 or 7 of the players is much more to blame! Fulham and today just about everybody did their job !

He got it spot on today, it was the best match i've been in a good while, despite the empty seats!! Was good to see the team go for it along with Pulis never leaving the touchline, (Unlike the other sourfaced bugger!). Today showed the passion, pace, skill, comradery and determination that we all knew the team & management are capable of. Our fans, although a little muted at times (due to attendance) were brilliant. Inspite of coin throwing Gooner pricks. I'm proud of the team, I'm proud o the club and i'm proud to be a Stoke City fan
Top post Wattie mate, and you defo get some karma. If notfor the good post then cus of your exploied pic

We look and are managed by a mid table Prem set up - win some, dont trun up at some (never get my head round that) and draw some we should win/lose/draw
Amazing times - forget the press - just look at the last 25 years and see what we are doing
