Literally nobody gives a fuck about us going down do they barring a few fans? I'm not even sure all our fans are that bothered.
Whenever I hear the radio prattle on about relegation we never get a mention.
Little old Stoke.

It’s strange, nobody is surprised because it’s been coming for months now.

The media hated us when Pulis was here, took ages to realize Hughes had got us playing great football and grudgingly acknowledged it. I think that they are glad to see the back of us, but they are weirdly quiet about it. |

I loved it when everybody hated us, but this is all so ignominious that it’s really quite painful.

That’s why premier league football means more to these places.
Without it they become even more anonymous.

I had to hunt high and low on the grauniad site for a match report and then the coverage was mostly about Hart's blunder affecting his World Cup chances.
"No one cares about us, we don't like it" - to bastardise the Mi'wa' chant.

We're just slipping quietly away aren't we? Soon all you will be able to hear is the whispering of the termites building castles in the dust. I suppose we might get a short paragraph in the Telegraph Obituaries section on a Tuesday but that's about it. I must admit I was at least hoping for a few ugly crowd scenes even if the wider world couldn't give a scooby  |

The apathy over the past two years is shocking, it has spread down from the management all the way through to the fans, as an example thee were a number on here who were backing Mark and his team up until January they should also hold their heads in shame, three ninth place finishes, credit in the bank blah, blah fucking blah the credit left ran out at the end of last season Hughes was into his overdraft well before the lap of dishonour.

There's the potential for the crowd to turn this Sunday if we have another poor performance. I suspect a lot of people Willie ready to jump on certain individuals or the manager if he makes any more baffling substitutions.

We went from being the team nobody liked to being the team nobody noticed. This. The media can't make a story out of us. Don't play good football and don't play the pragmatic Pulis ball. Never hit the heights (3 9th places isn't box office) and weren't perennial strugglers so there was never even a great escape story. Even press conferences were non events under Hughes. You can see the number of sky games we get that we were unwanted and unlinked by the media. |

And to make it worse it's like a death by a thousand cuts in slow motion. I'm genuinely worried about the future of the Club. That's not being over the top or knicker wetting. I really am. |

We live in Stoke, if Padstow or Penzance had a team the press would be spurting all over them.

I think most sides over the last few years have gone down anonymously, that's the Premier League.
Unless you are one of the 'big 6' no-one gives a shit.

West Ham or Newcastle get relegated, they have a big fat gypsy funeral, everyone gets drunk and has a fight in the graveyard and something melodramatic happens, like a knocking sound coming from inside the coffin and everyone thinks the dead person is really alive.
Our funeral will be a mild mannered affair, just a few predictable hymns, a cup of tea and a cheese sandwich at the vicar's house and a speech where someone in a grey suit says we had a good innings.

Unless it's a big club like Aston Villa or Newcastle, no one gives a shit. It's weird, I can remember where I was when 9/11 happened, I can remember what I was eating for breakfast when I heard Princess Diana died, but have no recollection whatsoever of the inglorious Fulham relegation campaign. |

Call me a bit biased but I think it is more to do with people just not expecting it. Even now I'd wager non-Stokies think we may still make it somehow. I reckon if we do make it back from the brink we probably wont even get credit for it because it'll file under "Stoke had a poor season".
We are seen as being one of the better teams because we've been part of the furniture for a decade. Literally nobody thought we would be where we're at now at the start of the season, not even us, but therein lies the problem... ? Complacency 101 and one to learn from.
That said, we have our fair share of enemies really - especially in the lower leagues where the green eyed monsters lurk - who would love to see us in a horrible place. The radio is full of glory hunters.

We are not a London club or as mentioned above WHU or Newcastle and the pundits await new meat to fawn over for a year before politely taking them to bits and saying goodbye.
The media basically only really like talking about 10 teams and 2 of them are not in the PL.

Nobody gives a shit about anybody except the top six and Bourenmouth. It's just got the feeling of a bad dream that you think you're gonna wake up from soon though. Just hope it doesn't turn into a full blown nightmare. |
