That's a big positive then pal. Yes, nowhere up to speed yet but a big positive.

I'm sure we'll be ok when the season starts against well known opposition, but I must say again that this has been really frustrating to watch. I won't draw any conclusions from it though.

Hughes has obviously told them to surrender the ball as quickly as possible, chasing the fucker is much better for fitness

Yea right... You probably were brewing your own when Bojan came off all sweaty. I was decorating in fairness, I'll enjoy watching our majestic little wizard when I settle down with a kebab and a semi later. I enjoy a glass of semillon too

Brilliant from Diouf tracking back in the 90th minute 3-0 down in a friendly.

It's all well and good saying the fan are fantastic but remember it's only a pre-season friendly. Let's see what they are like when the season starts proper!

Hope I don't have to hear that commentator ever again. He really doesn't like Stoke at all.

Positives: - Moseley, Ollie, Moha, Hagaard look to be decent prospects - nice to see some younger lads. - great to see the little magician getting a half decent run out. - we have amazing fans. Singing loud and clear Beats the Isle of Man outings, proud of the boys.

Brilliant from Diouf tracking back in the 90th minute 3-0 down in a friendly. He never stopped today. Fair play to the lad.

One thing you have got to say truthfully right now, a Stoke City team without Begovic - Shawcross and Nzonzi bears absolutely no resemblance to what we have been watching in recent times
we seem to have developed a new tactic - play football for the entire 90 minutes in our own half - or so it would seem
Aslo - You might say that we haven't played our first eleven in any of these pre season fixtures
and we must hope Hughesys master plan comes together somewhere down the line
finally - having said we might not need anymore signings - Im now happy to admit I am massively wrong on that score - that's for sure

Have to admit, even after the last few games, I'm pretty excited to see a front four of; Diouf, Arnie, Bojan and Afellay. If they can get on the same page, there could be a few fireworks on store!

Also stuff like that doesn't inspire confidence for potential signings.

I can at least conclude that we were awful again! We can't have built much confidence from the last 3 friendlies!

That commentator was dreadfull, and I blame Wolfscheild for that, as he provided him with his crib notes before the game. It was also Wolfscheild's fault for they flight being cancelled on Fri, and I think he murdered Cilla Black...he's a bastard. Really is... And it's his faulth that Kono, Shaq, and the other big names haven't signed..Utter utter bastard.

Been quite a shit pre-season for all PL teams to be honest, they are very poor indicators of how things will go, obviously i'd rather we dominated every team we've come up against but that just won't happen when you're playing against top European teams with a weakened team
One thing that does worry me is our defence without Shawcross

Blaming wollsheid (sp) for all that is fair enough but to blame him for the commentator is riduculous, he's just a Cock

He was a useless pile of shit for four months on loan last season, he has had a full pre season and yep he is still a useless pile of shit. Just like your support mate. A fucking disgrace. Still does not alter the fact that he is a useless pile of shit though

Brilliant from Diouf tracking back in the 90th minute 3-0 down in a friendly. All over the pitch. I like diouf. Really puts a shift in. Only watched the last half hour so can't say too much but that moha looks lightning quick with his touch.

Must say, Porto were extremely impressive.
Apparently their wage bill has gone up from €48m to €70m over the last year(compared to our €85m!)
That's what you call efficiency!

I really don't know what to make of what I just saw there. Mosely looked good and Choulay. Least said about Wooly the better I guess. Kinda bummed me out watching that, great effort from the fans though, well done.
