i dont think he likes us www.football365.com/mailbox/8355381/MailboxTen Reasons Why I Hate Stoke I've taken inspiration from that nauseating email about Drogba and come up with ten reasons why I despise Stoke City FC. 1) The constant long balls that require virtually no skill whatsoever. They make a maximum of fives hort passes before the inevitable lump forward. I genuinely don't understand how the Stoke fans can watch this week in, week out. 2) Robert Huth being given MOM in several places in spite of his 33% passing accuracy. 3) The constant tactical fouling and cheating. Not just in the penalty area, but all over the pitch. Again, horrible to watch and obviously a specific tactic employed by their manager. 4) Tony Pulis' pikey tracksuit. 5) Tony Pulis complaining that Stoke get treated differently from other teams. How dare they punish a team which deliberately breaks the rules more often than teams who don't deliberately break the rules? Stoke don't get punished enough, let alone too often. 6) Tony Pulis kicking up a massive fuss about players going down too easily and ignoring the continuous crimes against football his team employs. 7) Tony Pulis making a legitimate complaint about Fellaini's ridiculously short ban and then ruining it with the above assertion, and thus ensuring no one sane wanted the ban lengthened. 8) Tony Pulis. 9) The fact that, in terms of skill level, at least eight of their players on Saturday would struggle to get in a semi-decent Championship team. They've made Andy Wilkinson a Premier League footballer ffs! 10) Their signing of Cameron Jerome, the poor man's Emile Heskey. A further illustration of how little value is placed on technique. 11) Their fans actually seeming to enjoy the fact that the only thing their team is good at is being stronger and cheating more than the opposition. See the rendition of 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot'. I can appreciate enjoying having a physical advantage but when there is no attempt whatsoever to actually play decent football, I'd be quite embarrassed myself. 12) The fact that the referees are incapable of noticing their sneaky underhand tactics and actually doing anything about them. 13) The signing of Tuncay Sanli, who was a very good player for Boro, and then proceeding to give him approximately three minutes of playing time due to him actually being quite a good footballer. 14) Tony Pulis. More than ten, but this was remarkably easy. It will obviously be suggested that I am bitter because we failed to win at home against such a technically inferior side, which to an extent is true, but I wouldn't consider my attitude 'holier than thou' as I am comparing Stoke with every other team in the divison, and not us in particular). But this doesn't make any of the above statements any less valid, and I would still have written this if we'd won (although probably been far more smug about it). If you deprived them of the advantage they gain by the cynical cheating, I highly doubt their vaunted defensive record would be anywhere near what it is. Hopefully one day the FA will grow a pair, and Stoke will be relegated to the lower leagues and never again sour our division with their presence. Happy Christmas everyone. Alex G, THFC |

They used to be a decent club Spurs. I suppose all of the success they've enjoyed in recent years has changed their mindset !!
The fact is that the best chance of the day fell to us and apart from the late header Spurs created nothing. I presume that he truly believes that the 5 ridiculous bookings were warranted. He should read the serious papers from yesterday that talk about a masterclass in defending that totally baffled the home team and what about the shameful playacting....How does he watch that every week ??
Why do all these opposition fans concern themselves about how we manage to watch Stoke very week ? it's like an obsession. As for knocking Pulis' dress sense...what about AVB's Burton's shop window look ?
Delusional fans who just can't grasp that they'll never be a big club like their North London neighbours.

What amuses me with these kinds of posts is the lack of any sense of the other team's fans inability to see that their own beloved team does not have the ability to break down a solid defence. Football is about both sides of the game. There were probably four excellent chances created in the game (none from long balls) and three of those were for Stoke. If Spurs are so good at football why were they incapable of breaking us down ;D.

Robert Huth being given MOM despite only 33% pass accuracy.
What a pisser. Pass completion being the only criteria to determine whether you've had a good game? Forget the headers won, tackles made, blocks, great positional sense, clearances made.
A goalkeeper can have a 100% pass completion rate to his team mates and not have to make a save in the entire game, give him MOM!

I kind of liked this one. It was on Spurs board, but get the sense it was a cut and paste job from a Liverpool fan. Makes me laugh ....Walters the face of a a badget baiter = hahah! www.glory-glory.co.uk/showthread.php?3375-******-Tottenham-Hotspur-vs-Stoke-City-OMT-*******/page6I @#$%& hate Stoke. Usually I just hate them in the build-up and aftermath to us playing them, but take great pleasure in other teams struggling against them. No more. Maybe it's some newly found solidarity from other teams, or maybe it's just after however many years, I resent having to watch Tony Pulis' black arts. Like Sam Allardyce on Red Bull, trying to push the envelope and tour the ugliest back alleys for any way to get through a football match. Maybe each human being has a finite amount of space in their lives they can accept Stoke being part of, and I've exceeded mine. Whatever it is, I @#$%& hate Stoke. I @#$%& hate their alehouse tactics. I @#$%& hate that a Stoke shirt seems to grant players a certain immunity. I hate that because referees expect Stoke to be overly physical, that seems to allow them - in their own tiny little minds - the excuse for Stoke to be overly physical. I'm sick of their @#$%& back four, all of whom look like proper Rugby League Town @#$%&, smacking their way around the league. Wilkinson's elbows, Huth's stamp, Ryan Shawcross and his peculiar brand of footballing Jiujitsu. In midfield you've got cynical @#$%& @#$%& Whitehead, who takes great pleasure in mastering the poorly timed trip, or Charlie Adam who is just tugboat slow and reckless. Top it off with that @#$%& Waters upfront. God I hate him. He's got the face of a badger baiter. Just a horrible, horrible collection players. It's not a surprise though is it? In Tony Pulis you've got a really vile manager. Him and his stupid @#$%& baseball cap. All his pundit mates laugh off his teams; "well if you knew Tony as a player you'd know what his teams are like" - there's a @#$%& reason no one knows what sort of player he was. They simply don't care to remember some lower league yard dog, and cringe that they have to watch a team in his image. I'll give Pulis some credit though, never has a manager captured the essence of a town and it's people so well in how their team plays football than Stoke. He's such a horrible, overly macho @#$%&. The poster boy for British footballing culture, where a dive is sneaky and insidious and thus far worse than breaking a players leg with a horror tackle, elbowing someone in the face or stamping on their chest. The man has managed to usurp Mark Hughes and Sam Allardyce as the Wannabe Alpha of the league. The fans, in amongst it all, I have some twisted sense of sympathy for. Tony Pulis' own personal Volkssturm of outcasts, trudging along every (other) week out of some misplaced sense of duty. Duty to protect their birth place. All off on a march to their death. A football death. A football death that couldn't be further removed from the one Rodgers speaks of. Off to the windy vortex of misery, void of hope. the great architecture of schadenfreude. "If we can't enjoy football then neither can you". The essence of Stoke. Stoke. That horrible @#$%& verb. 1) Stoke. To remove joy and purpose from the occasion Tony Pulis was delighted to stoke Liverpool at the football match Just @#$%& off, Stoke. Not even down the lower leagues, because if that happens some poor @#$%& will be stuck paying to watch his team run the Stoke gauntlet, being told to 'embrace' the challenge. Nah. @#$%& that. @#$%& this idea that defeating Dr Pulis' Monster is some kind of footballing achievement. They're removed almost entirely from the sport. Stoke a horrid mixture of shotput, 11 players cynically fouling on rotation, and set pieces. That's the @#$%& Stoke credo right there. If it's not a set play you can't control what's happening, so you foul, and get another set play. I'm not against physicality in football. I'm not against the odd bit of cynicism. But I'm not having the defence of Stoke. It's pure anti-football. They routinely turn up to games against any team to make sure the ball is out of play as much as possible. That is not a worthwhile tactic. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. |

It just proves how far we gone to . If an oposing fan has written this , I must say We have made it . Perhaps a bit of jealousy don't you think . Really after seeing the match I was very disappointed in Spurs they looked very ordinary and with that showing will only finish about half way if you are honest, perhaps a bad game I dont know .. No Spurs are nothing special , remove Bale and they would be fighting for relegation ..

I love how the silly turd thinks breaking someone's leg accidentally is worse than deliberately cheating by diving.
Diving is a gangrenous sore running through the game that will kill it if it isn't eliminated asap.
Players will always get injured playing football - it is a man's game.

Yes, that's it. The sooner we loosen up our magnificent defence, give the opposition (particularly the top 6) far more room and get dicked 3 or 4 nil every week, the sooner we'll have loads more friends? Not only that, we'll be one of the first on MOTD every week, Sky pundits won't moan about havng to cover our game cos there will be loads of action and the Ginger Tosser Durham will pick on someone else! Sounds like a plan to me?
