What is it with everyone these days?? Im sick and tired of hearing bad press about how Stoke play, how weak the Championship is and crap such as "anyone who gets promoted from to the Premiership will be making a mockery of the oh so graceful Premier league."
I was dissapointed at yesterdays result and I think that we actually threw away a damn good chance of securing a top two spot and the chance to shove those negative opinions right down the throats of those who ridicule us!! But what pisses me off even more is reading and listening to these so called pundits and reporters who seem intent on ripping apart anything that isnt top half of the Premiership. Such people have been brainwashed by the football they have been served with and forgotten that football doesnt have to be pretty to be effective, nor does it have to be done with a squad full of superstars.
The ex footballers who are now pundits are ex premier league players that have a very blinkered view how football is played. They seem to have forgotten that football exists outside of the premiership and isnt always swashbuckling stuff played with household names to match. I mean wtf, these so called premier league stars couldnt even get us to Euro 2008, swashbuckling stuff eh!! And the FA cup is irrelevant this year because the football will be ugly and boring because Ronaldo et el will not be there to entertain them!!
So bollox to the lot of them, they can stick thier opinions right up thier jacksy because this Stokie cant wait to get to the premiership to give you something else to moan about.

Great post
I hate how the Lee Dixons of the world refer to Arsenal as 'we' and 'us' when they were just one of a number of clubs they played for, they arent from there and they associate themselves for personal gain.
I notice that when 'our' pundits are on, say Nigel Gleghorn, he sometime says 'us' when referring to Stoke but then seems to quickly correct himself and refers to Stoke as 'they / them'.
Many of the 'big' names have made a huge screw out of the Premiership and are continuing to do so, so why on earth would they wish to criticise / complain about their own personal gravy trains ?
'Sycophantic slags' as a certain mancunian singer once sang !

Quite right. How many of these "fantastic" prem players will grace the FA Cup final this season? Oh, I forgot, the FA Cup has no value compared to all the Premiershit ££££. Trouble is, with all this money sloshing around Stoke can't afford NOT to have at least 1 season at the top, soon there will be an "elite" group of teams in the Championship - all those with parachute cash - and the rest will be mid-table or relegation fodder. Filthy lucre ruesl football!  |

top post mate
the media are too busy having a jizzfest over the Big 4, they dont respect the championship for its competitiveness and the teams who play in it.
lets just hope that in May we will have something to shout about, and more importantly shove these 'experts' opinions up their @rse!
