Twisty Turny Thing

[stokeoptimist]

We can't be as bad as some people are making out on here. we put in our worst display of the season so far according to King Dennis and yet a team that boasts two current England forwards only just beat us 2-1.

I don't know there are some Stoke supporters on here who twist and turn just like a ............................... Twisty Turny Thing! ;D

I refuse to be downbeat about this season. Even if we got relegated without getting another point we'll still be £62M better off than if we hadn't gone up. It's good times.

It was a poor performance, no doubt about it. We particularly lacked penetration up front, mainly due to Distin & Campbell winning practically everything in the air (until Mama came on). We never had the pace to get past them on the flanks, and were up against bags of pace out there when we were defending. Seyi & Faye as a centre mid pairing just didn't have the passes to find us a bit of space. The defence had a hard time of it against the pace of defoe and traore and trying to win headers against crouch.

In the end it could easily have been 5-1 instead of 2-1, they came close a lot. The bottom line was that we played poorly and they played as well as i have seen them this season, we were well beaten. I would be tempeted to say just take this as an isolated result, but it is clearly not. I will start my own twisty turny thing if we put in a couple more performances like this. The pressure is piled onto the spurs game now.

and yet a team that boasts two current England forwards only just beat us 2-1.

They only just beat us cus they were shite too,apart from the two young lads on the left,Traore & Belhadj,they were toilet. Especially there midfield,but all we had to combat that was Oli,cus Delap-off day,Tonge- plain & simple not good enough & Am Faye- well,just pure shite.
To the rest Fuller -Brilliant,however also completly useless,his power & pace is unbelievable,but 8 times out of ten comes to fuck all and him getting nark on.
Kitson- played as an out & out striker yesterday & did he prove himself,did he b*llocks,pure shite !

Cort- out of his depth,just not good enough

Now the pluses to go with OLI:
Higgy,Ab Faye & Griff were very good & believe you me i was slating Griff pre season not thinking he could make the grade,gladly he has proved me wrong.
As stated earlier the 2 guys on the left were best players on the park & Griff coped fine,a couple of times they made him look stupid,but a lot of time his experience won.

SIMMO- Fantastic yesterday some quality saves and good distibution,however on closer inspection,30 secs before 1st goal could & should have come out to collect an easy cross,thus preventing 1st goal,but otherwise did his No1 chance no harm !

We have no brains,no creative flair & at times i felt sorry for poor Oli who stood out in a weak midfield all round !
I was sat with my boss who is a pompey fan amongst other pompey fan,i was about level with Shitson on edge of box when he woefully shot wide in 1st half,1-on-1 with James.

However you guys sounded awesome at the other end of the ground & pompey fans all around me were congratulating you on a fine singing performance,thankfully i did not here the moronic cnuts singing the 'Harry Roberts' ditty ! You truly are cnuts of the highest order.

Oh the subs,oh dear me;
Shitson off Mama on- Pompey fans said who is this big lump to which i replied with gusto 'it's Big Mama come to rough you up,humble pie was eaten later,useless,like bambi on ice( & i'm a mama fan)
Tonge off Soares on- Clueless i'm afraid,lost ball with 1st touch & then disappeared,should get better,hopefully !
Delap off Cresswell on-
Pompey fans said who is that & i said with head in hands cresswell ho hum ,
however he brightened us up a little,then burst down the line,cut in the box,then back heeled behind him to no one,no one at all straight out what a tool !

By the way the fans around me found out i was a Stokie when my arms automatically shot in the air & i let out a semi roar before realising what i'd done,they all just laughed,but a steward came over and said be careful ! Of what i was hardly going to start on them on my own now was i,the fans were good and i accepted the ribbing.

In the words of D:Ream, Things can only get better ! ???

Rant over,sorry if you don't agree,but this is my personal opinion !
Feel free to give yours !

P.S- What a shithole of a ground ;D
