We're having a brilliant season despite having our squad decimated with injuries to our star players and not spending a bean. We're 2 points behind West Ham, who are supposed to be having a marvellous season.
A little bit of national praise wouldn't go a miss.

Stay under the radar, better odds at the bookies for next season ;) |

They're currently writing the headlines:
"Delap howitzer seals another three points for the Potters"

"Softest hatrick you'll ever see, we battered them..." I couldn't give a toss what other managers say, they say things for there own benefit. It's time the national media gave us a bit of credit. |

Everyone ask's me besides the connection with the area would you support Stoke? I always say, If the media wasn't a bunch of gloryhunting cunts that never give Stoke any credit than yes I probably wouldn't. But even today, go read the post match reviews... it will all be about bloody villa's demise and "error" instead of Stoke's comeback win. Fuck the media darlings. |

Im glad we are going under the radar because if we were not, there would be far more interest in our biggest assets (Bojan, Shawcross, Bego and N Zonzi) than their currently is. However, the main reason that West Ham are getting far more praise than ourselves is simply down to the fact that they are both a London club and supposedly far more glamourous than ourselves. At the end of the day, we know how good a job Sparkys doing, we don't need the papers singing his praises to recognise that small fact.  |

Every top club in Europe knows all about our players and vice versa. More exposure sells more tickets, more merchandise, more sky live games, more money and will help us sign better footballers. All this under the radar stuff is dark age nonsense. |

Durham said he was impressed with our fight after missing players through injury which was surprising.

Don't care what the Manchester and London press and tv say as long as we keep getting the points. We will have the last laugh.

Me. I used to hate it when our club was getting negative press for the way we approached the game of football. I'd love it if the press started to give us more credit for what we are achieving. |

It's even worst over here in Sweden. The TV pundits have little respect for a hard working and decent team like Stoke. Instead they focus on the errors of the big teams make when Stoke gets points. Terrible. In a podcast from one of the big newspapers I could hear the comment "I really hate Stoke" last year. I haven't listened since...

They have been on the whole. I don't think Mark Hughes has had anywhere near enough positive press for the job he has done. I get that we aren't exactly a fashionable club and one of the media darlings but Pugsley is right when you look at how they were wanking themselves daft over West Ham and teams like Swansea. |

Someone on the BBC commentary said it could be a 'rare away win' for us.
They really do know fuck all about football outside of the Sky 6.

According to Radio 5 after the match Villa 'conceded 2 poor goals'
Despite being at Villa Park I didn't celebrate either because I am very selective about the goals I celebrate these days - one must have standards ypu know.

It suits us for the rest of the world to under rate our team and not fancy our chances. As long as the media keep mugging our opposition and we get results, do we care what they think. We are not million miles from 6th place now; well ,we can dream can't we? What the odds, Villa go and beat Newcastle next week, and we lose to Hull such is life and football? |

Aslong as we keep doing what we're doing then it doesn't matter one bit
