Enjoyed all of the celebrations. Thought that the tem selection was completely wrong, we set up to draw and not win and reverted to type aft scoring early by allowing Spurs to have as much time on the ball as they wanted, their players are an utter disgrace to he sporting world with their antics led by the supposed Premier Leagues best player in Gareth 9.5 Bale. When playing a team like Spurs who like to roll around on the grass at even the sense of a Stoke player near you need a referee with balls, sadly we got Bales sugar daddy in Kevin Friend who produced one of the most biased and corrupt displays that I have ever seen from a referee in all my time watching football, now onto Tony Pulis, Tony I have every respect and admiration for what you have done for my club and will forever remember you for getting us into the Premier League but your time has come mate, you have turned a good squad into a squad that fears playing attacking or possesion football, you have ruined players in he past with your lack of morals regarding atitude, playing ability and your stubbornness knows no limits, please sit down with Peter Coates and think about Stoke City and not yourself, if you do this the I bid u farewell because if you do love Stoke, Peter and the supporters as much as you say you will resign and take your pathetic backroom staff with you.

best half of football since liverpool, that said nothing is going to change my view now that we need a fresh start with new ideas.

Point taken mike but
All i will say is when you have ten men you have to have the ability to keep the ball when you get it, equally when you play against 10 men you have to do the same to create chances as was woefully exposed at Sunderland. We dont have enough players who have any of the qualities required to do that and one person is responsible for that and until he changes his philosophy, and he never will, were stuck with it unless Peter sacks him.

Well done to everyone who was involved in the celebrations today and seeing all the ex players actually made me feel quite emotional at times.

This show has become one of the highlights of my week. Unlike the actual Stoke matches I'm afraid. Sensible opinions being expressed, and last week's show was brilliant. Foxy & Foghorn.

A few other noticeable absentees from the last 25 years or so included Johnny Butler, Big Vince, Larus, Liam and Ric.

How many players do the panel think need shipping out for next season?
Looking at the starting XI we appear about 5 or 6 players shy and we probably need to jettison at least another four or five squad players.
My worry is that if Tone stays (which I think he will) the same players will be churning out 30+ appearances again.

Decent performance today. Sending off changed the game, especially against one of the best passing teams in the division, it was always going to be tough.
We need to regroup, and rebuild for next season, I'm not convinced that changing the manager is the answer. History tell us that it doesn't work, and to underline this, would we rather be in Stokes position or Sunderlands?
I'm pretty relaxed about the future, we will learn, and come back stronger. Hopefully we can ally our inherent aggression with the pace, passion and skill that we need, and improve.

Ange can you also pass on the message that the 2 girls passing the shirts to Mr Coates on the stage hadn't got a clue who the players were either.Very very unprofessional having to ask the old players who they are.

Most of the players mentioned as potential exits are the ones I'd build the team around!
Surely Bego, Huth, Ryan, Adam and N'Zonzi are the players to form the basis of the team?
I'm not fussed about any of the others.

It's not too late to organise a game for our 150th. Seen as the greedy big boys want a load of money for playing us, why not arrange a pre-season match v Vale. Half the game could be sides from the 90s e.g. Stein, Biggins, van der Laan, Earle etc with the other half involving current players. Having seen Gareth Bale's antics today I've had enough of overpaid primadonnas and a game against our local rivals would suit me just fine.
Great show as always, loved the parade and well done for putting out all those shirts. Great work.

It will be 10 years before we see the fruits of the academy expenditure. TP should be interested in the here and now, this is the reality, and as you say, the Chief Exec is paid to be forward thinking and visionary. Just like Jex Moxey has been, building that stand!! Seriously though, we have to keep spending year on year to keep progressing. And listening to the show, it's ok comparing Wigans squad to Man City's, but Wigan have been fighting relegation for years, (And will go down this year) so to beat a team that will be competing for all the big prizes in a one off game, shouldn't be a real surprise. Plus the fact that Man City will beat Wigan 9 times out of 10, this is the real measure.

How is keeping Pulis, playing alamo tactics against every team progress?

Martinez has done better with Wigan for there size and outlay than Pulis.

If TP should go who would you replace him with OTHER than the 3 mentioned?

Good point re Wigan and their creative play - Martinez has finished below Pulis each year - how would he be better here?
I agree that our priority is to remain in the Prem - BUT we should not be satisfied with this and look to be a more attractive team.
I loved our Cup run, I never dreamt that I would ever see Stoke in an FA Cup final, however staying in the Premiership is the greater achievement
