I won't listen to it but did it go something like:
Look I'm amazing
I tried to be amazing at Stoke
I wasn't amazing at Stoke
But it was the players fault I wasn't amazing
Because with different players look how amazing I am

I'm not sure they dominated Allen but apart from that he's got it pretty much spot on.

He's an odious prick but he's not far wrong with that assessment which says it all about our current situation unfortunately.

Pretty reasonable TBH. Some graciousness and humility when talking about the crowd ("They've had a tough time...I didn't help with that") and he's right in what he says. We are a demanding crowd relative to this level; but I don't think unreasonably so and I don't think the aggregate performances since relegation have come even close to satisfying our totally reasonable demands.

Seems to suggest it’s the crowds fault and that we had turned…

I thought although we had no end product we had a good first half… don’t think they were really in it It’s when we stopped playing on the ground and started lumping it after 35 minutes that the game got away from us |

Roughly translated.

Yes Nathan, we know.

If they don't go up this year, they may well storm their way to the title next year.

BM He was inept and completely the wrong appointment, but it certainly wasn’t through lack of trying or passion. Just a job that was miles too big for him. Even though maybe our worst manager ever, there’s clearly a decent manager in there. Sadly he surely learnt some of his most important lessons on our dime. |

Luton's team is full of very good athletes but limited footballers playing a physical percentages game. Hit it long, have two players chase it down and others charge into the area to get on the end of the cross,make the game a physical battle and with Championship referees you can get away with blocking runners, rugby tackles, pushes and shirt pulling. Fair dos if we were winning games I'm sure I'd be delighted. They didn't play much football tonight but the conditions helped their type of game and apart from Joe Allen no other Stoke player was prepared to go toe to toe with them. I can see now what Jones'footballing philosophy is and why he was doomed to fail at Stoke. Whoever researched him as a manager and thought he could get a tune out of a Stoke squad that was in no shape or form filled with athletes needs to explain their thinking on this one. However good a manager you are you are not going to turn the likes of Vokes, Ince, Clucas, Woods, McLean, Batth, Adam into athletes.

They had 4 midfield players out and had a makeshift set up. Ouch, that just makes tonight's performance even worse to take.
No arguments with anything he said and he was indeed very respectful to Stoke and I admired his admission that he accepted that he played his part in our downfall. He was awful for us but bloody good for Luton and good luck to him.
You can't question the enthusiasm of the guy and the super job he is doing for Luton, with very limited resources.
Would be nice to see some of that passion from O'Neill.

We're probably still paying their wages. |

Bottom line is am just glad he's nowhere near our club any.more. Agree, much as they completely outplayed us tonight I would hate Stoke to be playing that way. They were a horrible team. Were we that bad under Pulis I kept wondering. I don't think we were. I don't think Pulis played kick and rush and didn't fill his teams with athletes rather than football players. |

If only, he could have had a better start with us,say around halt way or just higher at the time of his sacking.
He would not have got sacked,we may be in with a chance of promotions,hes coming close to It,with a smaller club and less budget.
If only is a small sentance,but used countless times all over the World.

We're probably still paying their wages. Vokes deal was done before Jones arrived I think. Whatever we think of him I think his last comment is telling and his borne out by what happened on the pitch. Any manager would take our players over theres, but the difference was that they had an appetite to win that game and ours did not show any desire or appetite to rough it out. We were too easily bullied and out fought again. Credit to them. |

The result yesterday shows everything whats wrong with our club, of they can't get themselves motivated to perform in that game they need look at themselves. Let's be honest, to have Luton where they are at this stage of the season with that squad, Jones deserves manager of the season.
