We could have had 6 points but we don't it's a simple as that already feel the tension building for those two home games as we coils was easily start Bottom seeing them out in a close game is a very very tough ask .

Net £5m and talk of next level bottom three Mr Scholes and no surprise We have 48 hours to rescue a season and the huge money pay day . It's so typical stoke City to blow the big chance and so without need . What price Nzoznzi now . The penny pinching of the past three years just came back to say you can't defy gravity today's League position is a huge wake up call if we don't heed it ove the next 48 hours we deserve what's coming . Said in July top 17 with this squad as it stands would be an achievement and right now it very much would . Go play on the railway line.

You say the same every season; like then you will be proven wrong again....even if we don't do anymore business.

I've just tried to translate that on Rosetta Stone. But unfortunately completely incomprehensible bollocks isn't a recognised language.

I think its going to be a tougher league this season but too early for worries , the first sending off caused all the problems yesterday , that was a poor decision either two yellows or two reds , I doubt Adam is even in that position if Affellay stays on .
W e have not settled yet but really we need Bojan back to see how we will do he is a big player for us the way Hughes is developing the team

Must admit I was hoping old Biscuit wasn't going to join the fray here because with it all rational debate goes out of the window as folks climb in to their bunkers. On a serious note I'm not sure I believe the 'I don't look at a League Table until November' club. I mean the League Table is the score. We are just over 10% of the way through the season and that 10% is every bit as relevant as any other 10% in determining the final places. It's not defining but it is a part of the final picture. It's the rough equivalent of being 10 minutes in to a match and being say 1-0 down and then announcing something like 'well I never look at the score until 25 minutes have gone, it could all change'

Oh fuck off.
Liverpool won because of a single moment of class which could have happened against anyone.
We went two down at Tottenham and still came away with a point.
We went two MEN down yesterday and could well have come away with a point.
We're in a hell of a lot better shape than the pure scorelines would have you believe.
Leicester are 3rd in the table - from some of the reactions on here we should be expecting to see them in the Champions League next year.

Ok let's assume the deniers are right 4 games is too few so how many isn't 10 15 20 . Evidence suggests this is a very tough league to play catch up so when do the deniers Believe is a fairer time to evaluate our squads performance .

We were 3rd bottom. -15 GD. 23 games played. We went and won our 24th game 2-1. Finished the season 9th position on 54 points. Your posts couldn't be more the antithesis of 'Be Loyal. Be Proud. Be Stoke' if you tried. Pathetic.

Of course I forget Even though we are in the bottom three we aren't a bottom three team the arrogance and delusion is stunning on here . We are a bottom three team and need surgery face it or live in the deluded world of next level costs £5m and we are on our way there . So following your logic both Crystal Palace & Leicester are top 5 teams because they are currently there in the top 5 and they are now never ever going to drop out of the top 5. Talk about arrogance and delusion. Nobody is a top 3 or bottom 3 team until the season is over, sure form helps predict how teams can be placed. Leicester were dead and buried according to some last season and here they are. As a supposed football fan how do you ever get through a football game ? Do you find it tough ? Because they are never usually one sided and both teams get periods of play to affect the game. The same happens in the league table mate. 4 games into a season is not the time to be jumping around predicting the end of the world. There are legitimate concerns that can be voiced in a sane and cohesive way i.e. Gods post. The one thing I can say is that you are consistent benji, if only the world was so black and white.

Even after a two year period of relative stability he has been unable to shake off the psychosis of Pulis hypno trauma. He still believes that we are a tiny club fighting against all odds and is totally unable to shake off the curse of bed wetting and finger nail blighting of where the next point will come from!

When you are proven wrong again will you come back and apologise? Unlike a fair few, I can tolerate your view even if you are on a windup or being genuine. I honestly can't work it out and am not that bothered. You've got to be fair and even handed though and be the big man when you are proven wrong. Let's be honest, this will be your hat-trick won't it?

Why are we worrying... We are only 4 games into the season and have shown encouraging performances so far. And about all this catch up nonscence we are 3 points off 8th so as far as I canbeer there is no need to worry.

I genuinely don't get this we have played well stuff my concern is based on the basis I don't think we have looked remotely like winning any of our 4 games . The league table just bears that out but it's the performances lack of power and pace and inability to Defend that are the cause for great concern .

Tottenham was in the second half but we should have been out of sight and yesterday was a game we should have got something out of. Oh and then there was Luton in the cup... We will be fine but there is no masking the disappointing start.

We've conceded five goals in four games, two of which have included a worldy and when we were down to nine men. Chelsea have shipped nine goals, including two against that bag of shit we faced yesterday.

I never look at the table until the end of Sept.
If we are in the bottom 3 at that point I'll start to worry.

Unless 10 man Norwich stage an unlikely comeback at Southampton. We'll likely stay there for a bit with no game for 2 weeks and Arsenal away up next. I just hope the usual suspects on here like me don't panic over the next few weeks, calm heads needed all round. The last minute signing of a commanding leader at the back would help to sooth a few frayed nerves (mine in particular) I've no doubt We'll be fine duck dunna worry

While trying to look phlegmatic in yesterdays post match interview in fact he was trying to mask the copious quantities of steam which were coming out of his ears

Slightly worried that the last time we won a match was Wrexham and that since that match we've only been ahead in a game once which was Norwich.
That said it would be just like us to go and give Arsenal a stuffing at the Emirates

The only really disappointing result we've had has been yesterday, and that was only after going down to 9 men. We will comfortably avoid relegation.
Last season we lost at home to villa and Leicester and could only get 1 point against 10 man Hull in the first few weeks. The season before we were in the bottom three in January heading into a match against Man U.
Dont panic, we've played 4 games.

We are a bottom three team and need surgery face it or live in the deluded world of next level costs £5m and we are on our way there . I've never considered myself arrogant and deluded, and I don't think I am, because everyone I talked with on the way home from the match on bus and train (quite a few people) thought Stoke were playing very well up to the 2nd sending off and gave them a good match with 9 men. As expected Pulis had his team well drilled defensively but we kept breaking through and were unlucky not to take the lead and even equalise. We have a tremendous squad of players and when MH gets them sorted they are going to give us a lot of joy just as we have had in the least 2 seasons. Unfortunately for you benjamin, your life must be so miserable (unless you are just a wind up merchant) that I wonder why you follow Stoke
