Found this on Twitter. Results since January 2016. 3-0 3-0 3-0 4-1 4-0 4-0 4-1 4-0 4-1 4-1 4-2 4-0 4-1 4-0 7-2 3-0 5-1 *silence* Where are our wins, or are those the only results you could find? :S ? Clearly it only highlights the amount of spankings we've had since Jan 16.

There are 17 drubbings on that list - we can't have played more than 32-34 games in that period can we??

Didn't realise that comment was in fact pretty accurate 😐

Most teams in the bottom half of the table would go to Spurs and expect to be beaten and we are no exception. You would expect an experienced team like Stoke to be organised well enough to offer stern resistance even if in the end they get beaten. Stoke however defensively are a shambles and have little or no organisation anywhere on the pitch, don't look to be in any cohesive formation or shape and don't seem able to pass and move, keep the ball and help each other out. All that is down to training, the coaches and ultimately the manager. It has been too bad for too long and Mr Hughes and his entourage need to be sacked forthwith.

Do you mean 2 years? <Counts on fingers> Jan 2016 -Jan 2017 - Jan 2018. Oh, and unless you are counting friendlies and phantom games, you have added an extra "drubbing". I know things are bad, but do you really have to try make them look even worse?

Bad maths by me, but I was rushing to emphasise the point that you're being pedantic. It's not me that's counted them, but I doubt any "phantom" games have been included. You're fighting a lost cause. The point is, that many drubbings is a joke.

Every one knows that the past 24 months have been poor. I believe something happened at that semi-final and it's been festering ever since. But, there were only 16 and it is over 2 years!

Hughes is a big name in the footballing world. So if sparky does leave, we lose the big signings. We won’t get in the likes of Bojan, muni, Shaq, Afellay. Probably go back to signing the likes of Walters or kightley. Not that it’s a bad thing.

Mark says he didn't see the second half coming. What team has he watched for the last 18 months? Plenty of us knew undoubtedly what was coming. It was so ominous I even went bed at halftime and watched the rest this morning.
We were still in it at 0-1 but we knew what was coming.

Given his poor performances, I am reminded of Karl Denver's great hit in the 60s, Wimmer a-way, eh eh eh eh...........

Just seen the goals and it's a shambles watching them break from our attacking positions they can get men forward and ours can't get back. Not just a one off either we have seen it time and time again over.the past couple of years. Work rate and fitness is way short. I don't like to knock Shaq because he has been good but he gave that young lad no help yesterday . He has to play in a role where he has to do no defending. Diouf is better away on the right side. He will defend .

Oh, ok. That’s not what it says. I thought it was just another one eyed trolling expedition. MH rimmer right here So everything has to be a “rimmer” or a “hater”? There’s no room for the use of good English words like “incorrigible optimist”, or “ardent Stoke Fan”? Enjoy your life instead of looking for imaginary bones to pick with faceless names on the internet....... and I’ll enjoy mine supporting my team which, in 130 years of trying, has managed to end in the top ten a trend total of 13 times. Now a little math will tell you that’ about 10% or 1 in 10 seasons we have ended in the top ten. How many times in the past 4 ( this season is not over) years have we ended in the top ten?
