Amen to that.
Be nice if they all held their hands up and apologized for clogging the board with their self-serving fear mongering over the past couple of weeks.

We have been shit lately but we were much better today, especially going forward, roller-coaster of a season with plenty of ups and downs.

Good post. We're a mid table side on the up. We're going to have ups and downs. Simple as that.

Totally agree but at least we keep trying to play football its never tedious. Shaq was good today, if he was that good every week he wouldn't be at Stoke simple as, same for Arnie when he's on top form. This squad has talent in abundance and is great to watch. |

So let me get this right, what you're trying to say is when we play shit pretend we're fucking Stokelona and when we play well come on here and tell everyone we're Barcelona and they don't know what they're talking about? We've been garbage for weeks and couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo, we've just won a side that's flirting with relegation and some tools want to put their fingers in their ears, close their eyes and sing lalalalala. Why the fuck don't you grow a pair and have the balls to say we're shit in the games we clearly have been? The performances against Leicester, Manure and Everton were some of the most wank performances by a Stoke side in ages but it's ok now cause we've just won a game. Gouranga.  |

Funny how one result can make you change your mind like that... sort of suggest you were talking complete shite all along  |

I'm so excited by this squad, its potential and the direction of the club and just can't understand how any Stoke fan can't feel the same.

Slight difference between highlighting less than half a dozen poor performances and having a public meltdown. |

We were shit in the games you mention that cannot be denied. Some saw an essentially good side in a poor run of form,low on confidence and depleted by injuries. Others saw an excuse to question the managers position and talk about relegation. That's the big issue for me. |

Don't like it when some say relegation/Hughes to go is what we're after. Nothing is further from the truth.
Anyway, great win Stoke!

You're only as good as your last game. Which we have won and stopped the rot.....but let's go on about how shit we've been BEFORE today. A great three points with a makeshift defence and still some moan.
Thank fuck we're not on a Palace run right now or this place would be unbearable.

I think what we have is a set of players some of whom are capable of the highest quality stuff .......but not all that regularly (if they were consistently great they would be elsewhere). As such we need our 'workers' to be fit and on top form to cover the gaps that sometimes appear. Just lately they have been neither of those things and hence we have been looking a bit raggedy around the edges. It's the nature of the beast but things can and are getting better as evidenced by our most recent signing who looks like being the absolute real deal.

We've been poor last couple of weeks but I think your assessment is over the top. I never get carried away by results and have been defending our players against knicker wetters the past fortnight. We'll have poor runs it happens, can you not see that we have a squad and team with lots of attacking weapons that are exciting to watch. A lot of them have had a mini slump all at the same time for whatever reason but that sort of quality doesn't just disappear. Bojan will regain his form too he's too good a footballer not to. Far better than sitting there hoping and praying for Ric to inspire you knowing full well he's the only one in the team capable of doing so. |

A fantastic and much needed result today. We won today with a very makeshift back line. A few genuine moments of quality from some very special players were the difference. Imbula showed what he can do, and is exactly what was needed.
Having said that, Bournemouth had plenty of possession and had a couple of balls fizz dangerously across the mouth of the goal when it looked easier to score than to miss. For much of the second half they were the better team and on another day it could have been a different story.
Here's hoping that win has given us the confidence to go on and punish the likes of Newcastle and Villa. Once we get the likes of Shawcross back and stop looking so shaky at the back we could be a real force to be reckoned with again, just like earlier in the season. Go on Stoke!

If we finish in the top 10 this season, which I think we will, it will be the first time in our history we have finished in top half of the top league in England. COYMP |

Attention seeker, you couldn't be further from the truth. The amount of shit that's been given to individual players and the manager over 3 or 4 poor performances where most of the team have under performed has been really gripping my shit, especially after the smashing football that had come previous to that mini slump. We put up with dross most every game for years but some fans just don't appreciate the level of football this squad is capable of and jump on their backs after a few poor performances. I find it truly staggering. |
