May be it's old news on here but what were your thoughts on Jon Walters comments about the consecutive away fixtures over Christmas? He also praised Stoke Fans for their support. FULL STORY HERE |

He should keep his trap (fingers) shut. Mardarse. I'd ban 'em all from Twitter though.  |

Just so you know:
"had to travel 700 miles in a few days days."
I agree with bayern though, players shouldn't be on social media. Too often makes them look like the dicks they are.

He's got a fair point - we weren't the only club to play 2 away games. Something doesn't sit right when your opening day and closing day games are away as are both Christmas fixtures

It is shit but it's not his job to moan about it. It's his job to get on with it. I expected better from him tbh.

I'm no fan of Twatter, but I do think that Jon Walters is right to draw attention to the unfair nature of these festive fixtures.
Why couldn't there be 1 home match & 1 away match for each club as in previous years ?

I don't really care that Walters is bemoaning the fixtures as he is, obviously, completely right. I'm just disappointed that the club didn't make an almighty noise about it. Would it happen to Manchester United?......... Would it fuck.
What's more......even if it DID happen to them they would make such an almighty fuss about it that it would get changed.
I hate Twitter/Facebook etc (though each to his/her own) but I'm glad someone is stating the bleedin obvious and saying what we all know is true.

I feel for the fans who fork out massive amounts of money at Christmas.
I don't feel for the players one iota, especially the Premiership lads. They know the risks when they sign up to being a pro footballer and they know the Christmas period is the busiest time of the year.
If they aren't happy they could always jack it in and work in a shop, and run the risk of being dragged in on Boxing Day for an 8 hour shift on minimum wage.

Although these guys are multi- millionaires some have young kids and would probably like to spend time with them over the festive period as all people with kids do...... Just a thought

PL continue to screw Stoke City and our club bend over and take it. |

Don't understand the fuss.
He made a fair point and thanked the support.
What's the problem?
Cheers Jon.

Don't wish to poke my nose into somebody else's petty squabble (but I will)
Stoke to Newcastle 200 miles
Newcastle to London 300 miles
London to Stoke 170 mile
Total 670 miles
Manchester to Hull 100 miles
Hull to Norwich 150 miles
Norwich to Manchester 200 miles
Total 450 miles
The only shitier fixture they could have given us would have been Southampton instead of Spuds

Good to see him speak out and voice out what most Stoke fans were thinking, the Stoke players that do have twitter always have good comments and words about the fans and it's nice to see

Doesn't take long on a plane, and a drive to Norwich is a right bastard compared to a motorway, not as I'm sticking up for them |

Doesn't take long on a plane, and a drive to Norwich is a right bastard compared to a motorway, not as I'm sticking up for them That's true mate and I wouldn't really have too much of a beef with the fella who tried to educate me on Manchester United's fixtures (as if I didn't know) except that he came over as a pompous prick. My point was that we were given (almost) the worst two destinations, in terms of travel within the space of two days (until we rearranged with Spurs). I appreciate that it's not easy to keep everyone happy when 20 clubs have to play each other twice and you have to throw in cup games/European trips etc but, when you consider that, between 21st Dec and 1st February we had games scheduled against Villa, Manchester United, Everton and Liverpool, it really could have been scheduled a little better than expecting the club, players and supporters to undertake two polar opposite, very long away trips in the space of two days. All made worse by the time of year. |

I heard that JW had volunteered to run the the 700 mile round trip to further demonstrate his tireless commitment to the Potters and enhance his mythological status as a footballer who always gives 110%.
