Absolutely gutted for Hughes, who had done brilliantly picking up a threadbare team, and the players.

Whilst I'm fuming with pennant for the stupidity of the challenge there isn't half some crap being written on this post. How do you judge someone as a player on 20 mins? Pennant is the only winger at the club who can cross a ball period. Wingers who can cross the ball? Etherington? , Arnie? hindsight is a wonderful thing of all of those Etherington is the best at chasing back and defending

Pennant is the only winger at the club who can cross a ball period. His crossing these days is poor and he offers nothing both offensively and defensively. Apart from his winner at West Ham, he's done nothing for us in two seasons.

Which bit of my comment is crap? Pennant hasn't been up to providing a decent contribution for Stoke for a couple of years. He went off to Wolves and was utter shite, not even making the team at a very poor Championship club. Hughes gave him another chance this season and he's clearly been so impressive that he's come off the bench twice. Even the many who consistently slag off Walters tend to agree that we haven't got anyone good enough to replace him. He scored a good goal from a free kick at West Ham and that is blinding some into believing he can get anywhere near the player we had three years ago. He had an excellent 18 months for Stoke several years ago and he's been a complete passenger ever since. Fuck him off.

I thought he may be the answer to replace Walters but evidently not. He was abject beyond belief and proved to us all he's as thick as shit.

Today he was a liability from the moment he didn't get that free kick when Baines brought him down on the edge of the box. He lost it to totally.
Whilst I agree pennant has got a great delivery, I think so far he doesn't deserve to be taking Walters place.

Just what the fuck was he thinking? I actually thought it was the right sub, Walters was playing like my dear old dead Gran and needed subbing and Pennant I thought was the right bloke for the job. But what a fucking carry on that turned out to be. Stupid, stupid man.

This is getting suspicious. Pennant played a peach of a through ball against Spurs for Adebayor which he should've scored and now today.

I seriously AM all for replacing Walters both in individual games and full time if we bring someone in to improve matters. I've never thought that man should be Pennant (as you know) and, however good/bad/mediocre Walters is, it's a sad fact that we've got nowt better at the moment.

The ref couldn't wait to give it! Pennant couldn't wait to give him a reason. Absolutely pathetic from Pennant, hopefully the rest of the team let him now it.

I thought the whole right hand side was a walking disaster area today tbf doz. They were up against some top players I know but they were making the same mistakes that they're known for. Cameron seemed to like central midfield more, Walters just didn't play well and Pennant didn't have a decision go for him and from that point had a bag on. We may not but some bugger needs a chance. Excellent point though but I feel like we've lost.

The way the game ended is just too gutting to enjoy a good point won.

how do you sort that out? if I was hughes I would quietly tell him to pack his bag and get out of the dressing room. then tell him to find another club, or try to loan him out asap. no need for a shouting match, just get him away from the club Completely agree, pennant totally lost any control from the first challenge against him, which was a foul, but fuckwit in black let go yet again, still no excuse for what pennant did, he has let down his team mates who worked their balls off and everyone else connected to our SCFC. Get rid now is not an over the top reaction. Pennant you were a dick.

Daft substitution really, if you have decided to defend, why not bring on Muniesa or someone who can actually defend. Awful tackle.

Pennant is the only winger at the club who can cross a ball period. Stop living in the past, he's made two absolutely awful sub appearances recently and both have fully justified why we hardly see him in our side anymore. He hasn't been good for a while and can't keep holding onto the claim that he's a "good" crosser when he hasn't delivered over the past 2 seasons. Pulis had a problem with him and his exclusion this year shows Hughes does also, he's shown nothing other than the freekick at West Ham to justify a contract or a place in the side, it's time to sign a new right midfielder.

Sorry mate but Pennant was crap when coming on at spurs too, he has been the same at every club he has been lucky enough to have played for, good to start with then all goes down bank for him. That's why he is generally moved out of clubs pretty damned quick.

Stupid substitution from Hughes. No it wasn't really, Walters was getting murdered by Baines throughout the game as Walters offered nothing going forward. I honestly thought that Pennant would keep Baines defending in his own half, how wrong can you be. In hindsight Assaidi should have come to the right hand side as Pennant pressed the button that basically ended his Stoke City career and rightly so.

I was delighted he stayed this season. Free signing really, but today he was awful. He was falling over to try to get free kicks under the slightest touch. He ran himself into trouble. But the free kicks (and FFS THE PENALTY) what a total numpty. We were saying how well everyone was playing today until JP came on. Outstanding performances by Shawcross, Wilson, Peters in particular (really now wondering how a defender didn't get MOTM).
A fair result overall, but had Ireland come on for Adam, we would have got 3 points.
Thinking of having a few large beers now. Happy new Year everyone. See you Saturday. Keep the faith.

Walters needed fucking off he was woeful today. Hughes needs a bollocking for bringing on a player who has had hardly a peep all season and expecting him to do a job at such a critical stage, Pennant needs fucking for his performance. All in all I blame Walters for being shite and having to be replaced! H

I certainly wasn't. He's been shite for 3 years and is a complete liability, as today showed. But it's ok, because he's the love of my life, I'd let him shag my wife and I want curly hair like his.
