Hey up here we go again and that post pretty much sums you up Bayern I’m honest. It doesn’t what the opposition was yesterday that left hand side was an abortion. If people don’t want to see that then that isn’t my issue is it? The OP is a complete fabrication of the game anyway. So I’m good with my views. Of course you are Bayern if course you are...again like I put on the Edwards thread what the fuck was I thinking You know the anybody who doesn’t agree with you bit knows fuck all about football We should all just sit back and listen to you so as usual the floors all yours son

You have been on here two minutes and your already launching personal attack’s ? the Point is, that it was a FRIENDLY game ! No points were lost, No League table, it was a game against the former Premier League Champions whose team contained current internationals that cost millions and managed by the man who broke all the records in Scotland. One thing that might have slipped peoples attention yesterday was that while the majority of the Premier League clubs have been crisscrossing the globe, Leicester have stayed in the UK and all their friendly matches have been against British clubs. So they weren’t some jet lagged tourists arriving for some kick around, this was a full strength team primed and ready to steal a march on the big six ! Well you started it! The result was irrelevant, we could have lost by half a dozen but still come out with more positivity than we did yesterday. I'm just not looking forward to another season of the same old, stale old, guileless shite and yesterday gave me no hope at all that what we will be seeing will be any different. We're still flabby and predictable. It's a two way street, for more positivity off the pitch we really need to start seeing something on it. Hey if you’re not happy, then vote with your feet, plenty of other fans have, start a boycott in protest (preferably a silent one) vow never to return until the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool,Chelsea are served before you. Because you really need to start seeing something, you need and crave for instant results, instant success, instant glory ? Well this is the World of Stoke City, it just doesn’t work like that and if you haven’t learned that by now, well what are you doing here ?

I am sincerely sick of the people on this site who most probably have Stoke in their hearts but they just have to voice constant negativity and after each game their bile distorts the reality of the game. Yesterday we played a team that has lots of premiership quality and current England international players. I was disappointed that we lost the game because we didn't deserve to. Bayern says we were "overun" down the left! Really? Another was complaining that Smith played and not Edwards! It's is fantastic that we have two great defenders. Get over it! I believe that Nathan Jones has so far done a marvellous job with the team. It was easy to see Leicester's superior quality but we never let it phase us. Our inability to clinically finish chances ruined our performance. Already our forwards look much more mobile than last year but good chances were missed especially the penalty. Too many people on this site are letting their anger distort the reality of what is going on at the club. They have formed their opinions and after each game they will bombard this site with their unrealistic comments! Isn't it about time you all do what supporters are supposed to do and get behind the team and make this site a little more enjoyable to look at. Couldn`t have put it better myself. I used to love the site but it`s a miserable place. I came home last night quite positive, i had enjoyed the game (bar Ryan) and then i read all the shit on here that simply wasn`t true.

I genuinely hope they close this messageboard board down when the fanzine finishes. Once upon a time (a long time ago mind) this place used to be a decent destination for an informed debate about the club and footballing matters and was often a treasure trove of wit and insight. Unfortunately it's now used almost exclusively by moaning arseholes and racists. I know supporters of all clubs like to be critical and are notoriously fickle but if you were a rival fan who happened to come across this board then you'd form the opinion that Stoke fans are the biggest bunch of wankers going. It's a fucking embarrassment. didn’t I read you calling somebody a stupid cunt the other day? What on earth is wrong in calling a stupid cunt a stupid cunt?

I think the main point - and the reason why I don’t post that much any more - is that ANY thread on ANY subject descends into the same, negative, argumentative shit. It’s tiresome.
It would be nice to open a thread without seeing the usual suspects moaning like attention seeking pre-menstrual teenage girls who haven’t quite got their point across in the previous 300 posts in which they’ve said exactly the same fucking thing.

The MB's gone down the toilet faster than the team has. The Everything Else board needs taking down- it's basically a playground for racists and a complete embarrassment. This board's gone downhill due to the relentless negativity of one person who seems to think it's his mission in life to drag every thread into the same anti-Jones, anti-Butland, anti-Allen, anti-Stoke rant. The more things change, the more they stay the same

It isn’t. Be honest ffs. The posters I respect the most are and they have been negative about it. So that’s enough for me. But I honestly can’t see how anyone thought that left hand side wasn’t anything but toss yesterday. In the first half everything they did went down there and you had poor Joe Allen trying his best to mark two people as McClean was tucked inside away from any danger. And then occasionally he’d spring from there, leave a massive gap and we’d be exposed. Second half that led to the first goal.

Message boards do have polarised opinions, and it's great to have different points of view, long may this continue. But the OP is right about the huge amount of negativity on here, which if you take any notice of, would just drag you down. I do fear that the Oatie is going to be the architect of its own demise, in that there will be a new site that appears, and it will be one that comes over as having the best intentions of the club at heart, not happy clapping but constructive debate. Because I truly believe that the Oatie at the moment is just a platform for a handful of posters who dominate every one else, and what's even worse, they appear to just want everything the club does, or every player the club signs to fail. Just my opinion of course 😉 In the good old days of say bellends to sensible posters was about 1 to 10. These days I'd say it's at least 50/50 if not more. Rarely post or come on these days.

Ironically I’m one of the fuckers that saw the issues early and wanted them stopping so this wouldn’t happen. I’m not anti Stoke. The whole point of my whining that you and others fail to see is that I want us to be good, I want us to improve. I don’t want us to be in the position we are now. I see people like you as the people who have allowed this to happen with your brushing it under the carpet attitude. The club know what they’re doing attitude. I get why people are like that, showing loyalty etc but I think that loyalty for us has led us to relegation. Everyone got complacent and no one bar a few of us were asking questions of us. And in the last 3/4 years we’ve been really shit. Why isn’t it going to be negative? The only way for that to change is for results to change and for Jones to show that he is this bright young manager. If you think I’m anti Stoke then that’s your prerogative, the truth is I love this club more than is healthy and am desperate for things to change but just don’t see it happening. And that angers me. People happy with the same old shit, no ambition and no willingness to change from the board.

I was pleasantly surprised by Cousins and I think he will do o.k, McClean was good and I could see what the manager is getting through to the fullbacks by the surging runs when they burst out of defence and bypassed the midfield, it’s a work in progress,but Rome wasn’t built in a closed season !

A mid table champ team rebuilding under a new manager. Just give him 10 games and let's see where we are please. And that’s what I’ve said literally. But because it’s me people go ott. Here you go- Yes. I probably shouldn’t have used the word “reasonable” 😂 it’s an explanation but not a very good idea if it’s the actual explanation! It would unfortunately be more evidence that the persistence with this diamond combined with the failure to sign a proper left back is weakening us as a team - with others having to play on the wrong sides and not in their strongest positions because of it. I have massive doubts about this system. Today showed why. But Leicester are a pretty good side. That’s the only thought keeping me from going ott. Although Chilwell was his usual meh self.

Ah dunno worry lad, their is some crack heads on this site! Easy to see we looked sharp, the one touch passing caused Leicester all kinds of problems! Wasn’t that much of a difference between the sides except they had more pace which you would expect from a prem side and I think they will do very well in the Prem this season. Could possible do a Wolves! They played a strong team and in the end, a poor peno cost us a deserved point. We do need a ruthless striker because for me, Afobe misses to many good chances. He is ok enough at this level but if we want to be anywhere near promotion we need Gayle and probably another DCM then again we have Etebo to come back but it certainly isn't as bad as people are making out.

I seriously doubt the Oatcake is any more or less negative or polarised than any other MB.
I imagine there are lots of Leicester fans saying:
Look where we were 3 years ago! Champions!! And today scraping a win against a no-mark Championship side!!! And only because they missed a penalty!!!!! And lost their captain through a bad injury!!!!! With McLean at left back!!!!!! Scandalous decline!!!!!!! Bring back Claudio!!!!!!!!!

I only do it because people reply and I like the debate. I’m holding back on Jones because I do think he can get us where we need to be. But he’s thoroughly disappointed me to this point. However, I like the look of the players fitness wise now and I do honestly think the happy pictures are ace to see. But where it counts, I still don’t think we’ve addressed the biggest issues we needed to and hope to God we do. He’s got time but I’m not going to say I thought yesterday was ok. I didn’t think it was.

There is nothing wrong with criticism and the discussion of ways to improve, and that’s what the usual posters think they are doing, but they have no self awareness at all. It’s just a tidal wave of negativity.
As I said, some good stuff was played yesterday, against a top eight premier league side.
