During pre-season, I interrupted my usual summer Oatcake break to comment on some ridiculous posts about our lack of signings and also some stupid comments about Olifinjana's ability.
I got derided for proclaiming him as the best midfielder in the Championship, even though that was MY opinion.
Well, he was absolutely awesome yesterday, and if that is his standard offering, then I will be more than correct in my belief that we have secured an absolute bargain from our wanky wanderers friends and one hell of a player.
Yesterday was fantastic and I am really looking forward to seeing our limited and one dimensional team strike the fear of god into some of our more illustrious opponents, win lose or draw.
Go on Stoke!

Amdy and Oli looked awesome, the only negative on Oli's part was that he sometimes tried to be too clever, but Im not going to dwell on that because they made "18 million pound" Gareth Barry look shite.
Whelan is also an excellent player along with Sali and it says something that Whelan didn't get a game, showing the quality we do have

sorry, but Whelan hasn't over-impressed me so far. he's a typical 6/10 man, who rarely has a 7 or 8 game.
Yesterday, the two centre midfielders were excellent. Good passing, awareness etc.
What we have to avoid is that near our own goal we tried to over elaborate at times yesterday. their first goal came from a suicide ball to Dicko. Row Z is fine by me when neeed.

No medal wanted, though I have played a part in bringing Oli to Stoke (long story) ;D
Just a point really that all the ridiculous pre-season posts are highlighted as exactly that when you see the pride, passion and quality that our team has regularly produced since November 2007.
We may go down, and yesterday may prove to be a rare day in the sun, but I don't doubt for one minute that we will give many illustrious rivals a real fright this season.
Proud to be a potter! You bet I fucking am! ;D

I have spoke to a Wolves fan who has said his problem is consistency, some games he can play like a world beater, and others like an egg beater (not sure what that means, but anyway)  . One thing i have noticed about him is he has a great eye for a through ball, i think we will see him and fuller linking up well in the future. |

Bunny, I've kept stum over Whelan due to mainly me not seeing him play in the flesh in many games only a few we have been fortunate enough to have broadcast over here. But I personally haven't been impressed - people on numerous occasions said he was the best on the pitch etc. However I just haven't seen it - Amdy was a different class today and it showed. I wouldn't be suprised in the slightest if the rumours about him leaving Stoke are true since Faye, Olofinjana and Diao will keep him out of the team. I now await the abuse . .  |

Been pretty underwhelmed by Whelan - done ok in the ROI friendlies but not surprised he was left on the bench. Was guilty of conceding possession last week too much and then his stupid reaction to being substituted.
Seyi was tremendous yesterday- just what we've been missing. The Amdy Faye signing went pretty un-noticed but did a good job breaking up their midfield.
If Whelan wants to throw his toys then don't think TP will put up with him for too long
