Nipped into Duisburg tourist information asking about good beer and bars, they said the best beer is Webster Bauhaus. Nipped in there last night, good for beer not the best for people watching. Plenty of bars/eateries etc. Up at the inner harbour

Whilst we were being sent around the houses by the German police after the match who was the helpful fella with the long beard and top knot. Seemed to be working with the police. Is he a Stoke spotter?

Is he a Stoke spotter? I was told by (someone I consider to be) a reliable source that he was indeed a police spotter, one of at least 2 there. Hopefully it isn't the taxpayer footing the bill for their holidays. Some were wondering if the police were using the game to practice their crowd 'control' for their game next week, well over the top for a friendly today.

How did we actually play? First half poor and I would suggest none of then will make the first team. Second half bossed it Collins and Clucas caught my eye thought they were excellent.

First half we were quite poor, 2nd half so much better, movement, passing, confidence seemed so different

That police strategy after the game was utterly fucking beyond reason....there was a bar literally 20 yards to our left as we left the stadium but they told us we could use it if we walked the ( I’m not joking ) 1.5 mile walk around if we turned right ....much arguing and there was no reasoning we walked what was an utterly ridiculous long distance around the stadium ( those who went Leipzig will know ) to get to where we were going
Suffice to say Duisburg was a hole and we are back in Düsseldorf which is absolutely fucking immense
Cmon Stoke

It was all cool. Bit of a walk after the game but no probs, back in Dusseldorf for six.They had a few lads and the Police were all over it. Duisberg from what I saw looked utter shit, Dusseldorf was again legendary. Great trip, roll on the next one.
Souttar stood out first half. Clucas the second. The first half side was worrying, second half we looked better. Afobe, nothing changed there, get rid asap, may as well have had me up top. Don't put any money on us going up...

Shame really it kind of spoiled things however there were one or two who were an embarrassment amonst our fans so it might have been for the best.
