Is this a wind up comment? You can't have been watching Stoke long if you think that. .. Dead serious And dead wrong at the same time.

We are all in this together, regardless of opinions. One thing we all agree on, is that this last three years has been as depressing as fuck and we are all frustrated and pissed off in equal measure.

Allen decided to give shit to the fans who turned up to the Luton game (when many, fairly enough, didn’t bother).
Was he our worst player tonight? No - but he’s now reaping what he’s sowed.

It's a tough time for stokies at the moment. Much despair and little hope. However some of you need to give your heads a wobble. We have some truly terrible players and some with dubious attitudes. Joe is neither of these. If he is being used inefficiently then that is the manager's fault.
Albeit in a sea of shit, he has been our best player for the last 4 or 5 games yet you agendas blind you.
We have a pitiful attack and a truly shit defence yet Joe Allen is the problem? Bollocks.

Our best player tonight. Again... Keep your hate for those that deserve it. He was fuckin shit as usual....dawdled on the ball, got knocked off it by kids at will, chasing shadows, passed it sideways and backwards at every opportunity....what he's been doing for 3 years (oh except 1 match v Luton of course!) oh but he managed to look busy occasionally. One of the worst signings this club has ever made. We've been shit for 3 years. He's the only player who has been consistently present. No coincidence???....Wow!

This is exactly why it was a ridiculous thing to do. It was always going to be turned back on them when the time was right.
They drove a wedge between them and the fans that night when they thought they were being clever.
If they thought Hull was bad then they won't know what will hit them the longer this carries on.

He flatters to deceive, he'll turn an opponent and make space for himself and then pass it square or safe when he should be driving forward. He clearly works hard but there is very little return for his endeavors because he really isn't that good a footballer for the money we pay him. If we had a decent scouting system at the club I'm sure there are players in the lower leagues who could do what Joe does at a fraction of the cost.

He's great at running around really hard and getting completely out of position
Last week when Hogan came on they were both doing it and there was this huge void in the center of the field. Absolute garbage footballers, all of em.

Completely underlines why the ear cupping was fucking ridiculous. Read the room. Why do you think people are on your backs after 3 years of incessant excuses and repetitive soundbites?

I think you need Specsavers if you can't tell the difference between Cousens and Allen🤓 As soon as you see your partner in midfield is so high up the pitch, you should drop in. A good midfielder does that. It was piss poor from the pair of them. And this is just funny.

Only 2 footballers in this side. Joe Allen and Sam Clucas. I agree but for 3 years we have had no combination of players in midfield that compliment each other and compensate for one another’s shortcomings. We are defensively atrocious without the ball and weak/bullied by other teams. Allen and Clucas may be good with the ball, but they cost us time and time again when the ball is turned over.....

I’ll be overjoyed the day we’re finally rid of him.

Our best player tonight. Again... Keep your hate for those that deserve it. What did he do? I’m curious. Did he create any chances? Did he stop there attacking threat? Did he dominate the midfield with pace and power? I can safely say no, no and no. Bargain at 65k a week. I’d never expect Joe Allen to dominate a midfield with pace or power - its about knowing your players and this isn’t Allen but I’d expect him to come and get on the ball and actually offer quality through that but hd doesn’t.

If anyone had been asked to identify the £65k per week, £13 million player on the pitch tonight, no one in their right mind would have picked Joe Allen, or any other Stoke player for that matter. I'd probably guess that the whole Boro team together didn't cost that much and the best player(s) on the pitch certainly came from their side. Sad to say that despite the bright start to his Stoke career, our downturn and massive fall from grace coincide almost exactly with his joining us. We need to rebuild without him (and lots of other expensive flops), starting as soon as possible.

We need to rebuild without him (and lots of other expensive flops), starting as soon as possible. Spot on. Joe is not our worst player, but that’s not saying much. He’s hardly tearing up the championship is he, given his exaggerated wage and value. What a bunch of overpaid misfits we have in our club, and more often than not, they play like disinterested strangers. They’ve created a “them and us” attitude and to my mind playing for Stoke is just a box ticking exercise for most of them - just turn up, go through the motions, and get paid an exorbitant amount of money. There’s no creativity in our midfield, no end product up top, and we are always likely to concede. Carry on like this and we’re down. We need a miracle in January because so many of these mercenaries need fucking off and replaced with guys that give a shit. The manager is not helping with some of his team selections, but ultimately he’s just shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic until he can bring in his own players.

The manager will have to address the continued cupping of ears. Fine each player that does it. Lecture them on their responsibilities as pros and that whatever hurt feelings they might have it comes second to their duties as employees of the club.
If he doesn't address it, further indiscipline will ensue and will come back to haunt him till the day he leaves the club, which may not be long unless he manages to put his foot down.

It was Have I Got News For You they turned over for. Tired format in need of a root and branch overhaul. And the same goes for HIGNFY. Especially with the unfunny Charlie Brooker at the helm.
