I will as my best mate is from and supports Leicester, we even had a tattoo 2-2 when crouch equalised. Apart from that nah fuck that. This is the most wonderful thing I think I've read in a long time. Please post pictures of your tattoo! It's all very homoerotic.

No. And I didn't this season either, too expensive. I will be able to watch the Championship though. I can see much more of Stoke, since we're relegated. Many games instead of 0.

On the subject of watching us on TV, I have managed to get IFollow (shows Championship games live) onto my IPTV, but I believe you need a VPN to watch it. If there is any clever Stokie out there who can talk me through the set up it will be massively appreciated. Or its Nige on the radio..................

I've no interest whatsoever. Don't ask me what it is exactly, I think that it perhaps lacks any kind of a soul.
I've found Man City's title romp this year to be utterly joyless; every win rings hollow when their manager has spent half a billion pounds on his squad over the space of just two seasons in order to achieve it. Who cares?
I became incredibly disenchanted when Watford came to Stoke and sat on the floor for 50 minutes of the game, effectively killing it dead. Most teams waste time, but not with that level of shameless cheating. What's the point? Why be a mediocre mid table team playing a relegation side and spend 90 minutes cheating to a boring goalless draw?
I used to get wound up by these things, but after ten years it just grinds you down. By the end, our honest team had become filled with the mercenary plodders that we used to laugh at when we first got promoted, and certain of our players have no qualms with taking a dubious tumble on a regular basis. What saddens me more is that we have supporters queuing up to justify 'slightest of touches' incidents. It's not right.
I think that's why, deep down, so many supporters want Huth and Walters back. It's harking back to a time when we were the antidote to the awfulness of the Premier League. If only we could get away from being a generic PL team and get back to being that team, where the biggest problem was Danny Collins playing at left back. Unfortunately, that team has gone - one may as well hope for Stanley Matthews and Freddie Steele to sign on and revive the pre/post war team.

Ditto and ditto again.

I quickly became bored of them as they tried to increase their pass rate to a million a game and watch their back four play one touch passes as the opposition retreated to the edge of their 18 yard box.

Nothing homoerotic at all, we were having a laugh, I have never had a tattoo and well games between Stoke and Leicester seemed to always end 2 2 when we watched the match together.

To be honest I have been getting bored of the Prem for some time now. Infact, I'm more excited about this coming season than I've been for years. Whichever league Stoke are in ill watch, beyond that nahh, can't be arsed. 🎯 Even if we don't go up we just have to score more and win more games, either that or we'll eclipse Sunderland! At least there's something to play for 👍

No intention to do so at all. Stoke are my only interest..... I hate the cheating, falseness and inequality of it all; but at least when Stoke were there I felt we tried to upset the balance a little. This!

Yeah for me I can finally enjoy it as a neutral and enjoy the quality the premier league as. I can finally watch match of the day again and enjoy instead of feeling down when it’s finished cause we lost again. Am still hoping West Ham and Southampton ans wolves do shit

Yes.
And any live La Liga games. And Seria A. And FA Cup. And League Cup. And Autoglass Trophy.
Basically any game that's on the box when the Mrs let's me have control of the TV and I'm not on Dad duty or doing jobs around the house.
I love football.

Got to say I only had a passing interest in the Premier League before Stoke got promotion. Then I used to spend most of the weekend in the sports bars of Dubai getting pissed with the games on. But some weeks couldn't be arsed to even check the results. Now I am in the USA I'll watch the odd game but it will be more Baseball and American Footie as well as the odd visit to watch Atlanta in the MLS.

I always pick a team to keep am eye on so i'll root for Huddersfield because their fans were class and they're the underdog. Don't mind their manager either. Apart from that no. Wank refs, wank pundits, bias arse licking league. Bring on the championship

Amazing to think with a good set of players and a decent manager, clubs like stoke, Ipswich town , notts forest and derby county could go for the title . Actually sat top of the entire football league from time to time and in some cases won it .
Those days are sadly gone .
You have to buy the title these days
One thing I will give the Liverpool s and the man city's ...there strikers are razor sharp . Mo salah and aguerro would have bossed it , even in the 70s and 80s They are outstanding
But as for midfield , defenders and goalkeepers Forget it !
Gordon banks , Peter shilton , Dennis Smith , stuart Pearce , Colin bell , Ozzie ardilles , Paul gascoigne would have played the prem league 2018 - 2019 off the park .
No contest

Obviously it won’t be anything like as interesting now Stoke aren’t involved for the next 12 months but as someone who loves the beautiful game, I’ll be be watching as many Premier League games as possible. Yes it’s totally overhyped and full of cheats and liars but during the long winter months there’s still nothing better to watch on the old box..

Please, please please, let us get back to that same spirit. It was great watching Arsene almost crying about our style, hearing Scolari say”Stoke are the most dangerous team in the world” and so on. When we return, please please please, pay attention to Sir Alex’s advice to Tony Pulis ....” You cannot compete. If you try to be like everyone else you will fail. You have to be different. Create a strength and then play to it.” In a way, I guess Sir Alex can claim some credit for our early success! Let’s be different. Now wouldn’t that be a great chant......... “ Vive Le Difference”
