Oh I am as one of your posters will verify as he's godfather to my children,but that aside what did you base that post on ? We have at least one poster every season entitled ' Staffs Wolf' or 'Staffs Lion' or 'Staffs Brummy' or something along those lines that comes on here telling that they are a supporter of some other team and we should be thankful for what we have got. H well you should ungrateful sods ;D

Tuesday was an uttter disaster but the anti Pulis mob really need to be careful about what they wish for maybe he has reached his limit - he's one dimensional, overtly stubborn and frustrating as hell he has better players but is not presently playing better football he learns albiet much slower than we would like reason to have him sacked then ? Im not sure There can be no greater dilema in the life of a Stoke City fan at the moment: TP or not TP ?... that is the question! Absolutely f*cking ace!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The second sentence I have quoted is exactly part of the reason for discontent. We are better than what we are made to be. In fact, thats my biggest problem. There is absolutely no excuse for not being the best you can be

You lot sound exactly like Charlton's fans were some yrs ago moaning that Curbishley had taken them as far as he could,a few since have taken them to places they didn't want to go, and that could be said about a few other clubs us included , moral of the story be VERY carefull what you wish for ! And here is the Charlton argument. Brilliant. Completely ignoring the fact that Curbishly had already decided himself that he would go at the end of the season and that they had been on a worrying decline for over half of the previous season. Moral of the story is that whatever happened to Charlton has absolutely no bearing on Stoke at all. As a Villa fan, you have absolutely no qualification to tell Stoke fans what to think irrespective of whether folk agree or not. You dont live for Stoke, you live for Villa. Similarly, I have absolutely no qualification to tell Villa fans what they should think and the difference in attitude between McGleish (sp) and Lambert. I have no qualification to tell Chelsea fans for their vitriolic hate campaign against Rafa. Moral of the story is that every club is unique in their position and there must be something deep rooted when a number of supporters who have gone for 20, 30 years etc. cant even bring themselves to go to home games which they've already paid for with their season ticket. It is out of absolute pure respect and gratitude for TP that the negativity with an ever increasing number of fans hasnt transferred to 'Pulis Out' chants (with the soul exception of West Ham away and Wigan away...both of which instigated decent runs). The only thing that we should be careful about is fearing and rejecting change before problems get irreparable. So many fail to understand the reason behind fans concerns, and mistake that to think this means folk want either champions league football or to play like Barcelona. Its not, its about being making the most of our talent and ability, and we dont.

Well that seals it. There is no way on this earth that Coates is even thinking - even in the darkest recesses of his mind - about TP going. Just no way after he's been allowed to sign two players - one that definitely won't play this season, and the other that's unlikely to have much of an impact (if at all) this season. Much that I'm not particularly happy, we have to accept that and move on. Did he sign them? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif)

Progress? We will see. Might just beat last years goal tally, might just get more points than last year, might just finish higher than last year. Hopefully we will, otherwise that will represent 3 years of finishing in a worse position than the year before - still that rate of progress would deliver another 4 years of survival before eventual relegation, with promise of better things to come. Anyone who thinks that continually churning out the same repetitive hoof the ball long and put 9 behind the ball tactics will continue to work (be it under TP or anyone else) is incredibly deluded. There again a lot of people on here, are.

It is that intangable happy feeling that all's well. We are in a good position financially as well as in the league and in reallity have nothing to complain about other than our concept of the way we should play rather than the way we do. Daft really. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/vEIFeJPtIIq1awrUd6zP.gif)
