Just back - i thought i was gonna die

[twisty]

After climbing them stairs fuck me sideways what a mission

No bones about it we were poo. but i would of taken a 6-0 loss as long as we win saturday

gabi, SJE, de lap, parkin, and creswell all had shocking games, with gabi being the worst he was awful.

liam, ricci and pugh tried but to no avail.

leon and ryan looked alright first half but went to sleep 2nd half.

simo showed yet again that he needs to open his gob in the area more.

great to see salif back, and when he came on we tightend up in the middle and looked that bit better, but it was too late.

good day out impressive ground but been better.

toon army were shite in my opinion
oh and the ID cards showed again why they are needed, fucking mindless idiots again.

And TIMMIS your a fucking idiot.

Roll on saturday

griff and diao in

[fce]

fair play but zakuani was the best player saturday by a mile so it swings in round abouts

[potters11]

Agreed re: ID Cards, I didn't get mine checked, I am sure many others did not either. Some so called Stokies there tonight were embarassing, but I suppose that is what you get with 'big' games, I wonder where they will all be Saturday!?

[twisty]

Yeah same here never got my id card out of my pocket,

thing is i know at least two people who i'm ashamed to i know who both got arrested and both do not have ID Cards and were both on the gust list.

fucking idiots.

[Paul_Stoke]

KNow what you mean about the idiots mate. in rosies before the game fans mingling, then few stoke start mouthing off, next thing the Geordies retailiate, skirmish kicks off then outside there is a stand off between the 2 groups.we was watchin from the relative comfort of Harry's across the road... while we had no problrms all day it was easy to find it and seemed to me there were numerous stoke intent on finding it!

[fce]

ok elaborate WHAT HAPPENED?

[twisty]

It just kicked off FCE,

and from what i saw, (although i'm sure it wasnt the case throughout) it was mindless so called stokies starting it.

[Paul_Stoke]

FCE.. numerous skirmishes everywhere

[Cast no shadow]

twisty! you left me s tanding at the brit, i was goin swap you coach 3 for coach 6 so i missed it

[fce]

ok

but fuck it eh we are still going up

[twisty]

mart i ended up on coach 3 anyway


i jumped ship at the services

[Cast no shadow]

i was on there really! flicking through my porno

[twisty]

the mouthy bird at the back was doing my head in though

[Cast no shadow]

why, where was u sitting?

[twisty]

on the back row nest to rex, (the big loud cockney)

[Cast no shadow]

so you'll be on the video that sentinel reporter was doing!! i was by toilets but on the left! nback a bit!
me and my mate had a photo outside the turnstyles with 2 other stokies, from a sentinel photographer, and i pray to god they're not in sentinel tomorrow

[twisty]

yeah might be on the vid but i was hiding

[Cast no shadow]

no i was on the left hand side! and about 2 rows in front!

[twisty]

ahh right

time for bed me thinks, i'm pooped


night buddy

[Cast no shadow]

night

[Lakeland Potter]

Last night proved that, whilst Zak is a decent centre back he is no right back. His distribution was awful. I noticed that when Diao came on he sort of took Zak under his wing and gave him a few passes where Zak had plenty of time and space and then Diao moved into position to take a return pass.

In my opinion the loss of Dicko and Wilko from the starting 11 unbalanced the whole side. Pity Griff hadn't signed a week earlier.

As regards idiot Stokies, I saw a few examples on my way out. I had left the car at my uncle's a few stops down the metro. As a huge crowd of mainly Geordies were heading to Monument Metro Station a couple of Stokies decided to start mouthing off. But our brave lads didn't mouth off at those wearing black and white colours - oh no, our brave boys decided to scare the life out of a few ladies (young and old) who were waiting for buses. Well done lads, your mums will probably be proud of you.

Watching from Delilahs, I thought SJE was our best player by far, he was involved in everything.

[knowles]

I personally didn't think any of our players had a good game. It could well rank as our worst performance of the season.

With us being so high up it was sometimes difficult to even tell who our players were!! It was a ridiculous height!

As for Zak, he wasn't very good. I didn't think he was our best player on Saturday either. First half at Portman Road he was shocking. Improved second half and made a couple of decent challenges. He can't kick a ball properly though. A right back needs some kind of culture when it comes to distribution!

Nice to see Salif get a few minutes under his belt and he did alright.

All the goals we conceded were amateur and if we were to go up, we would need to hugely improve to avoid 'doing a Derby'

The ground was very impressive but I would hate that view every week. I didn't feel involved in the game at all.Yes, the stairs were a right old mission!

Also, why on earth did we stop at THOSE services?(Washington) Absolutely shocking!

Finally, Toon Army seemed quiet apart from those schoolkids who were sitting to the left of us...literally none of them were over about 18!

Bring on PNE

We were just out done by the occasion last night. Simple as that. When I heard 'King Kev' was coming back on the train up, I knew we were in for a tonking. The buzz around St James was mental, and the queues massive.

Zak, Delap, Parkin, Cresswell had shockers IMO. But like i say, we were always in for a thrashing.

Diao looked a class apart when he came on, moving the ball around from the centre. The build up to Lenny's goal was of the highest quality, 11-12 passes up to pugh, then inside to Lenny- and he gave s something to cheer If we play like that against Preston, we'll murder them.

Shame about the few idiots about. Couple behind me got chucked out for drinking and then mouthing off at the copper, it was embarrassing-then the abuse that copper got after was a joke too. Little bit of fighting in the street after too. But overall, good atmosphere from the stokies ;D

Back to the league now!

[Rt Hon Reverend Luvpump]

Wot suprised me at the game was i know cresswell is playing out of position, but his body language was shocking i think everyone in the ground could tell he did'nt want to play there.
ok we were gettin battered down that side but when he first played in that position he would keep goin for the cause!!!! he only looked interested when he moved up front

[thepremierbanksy]

To all of those who went, top work on the vocal front, you could be heard on the radio (and on MOTD highlights) the whole way through.

[stokie63]

climbing those staires was a pain in the ass i thought there was a lift? my old man nearly died great shout from the stokies we treid to get behind the team apart from the first ten mins we were never in it looked better when salif came on am i right in thinking 35 thousand was there if it holds over 50 thousand god knows where another 15 thousand would have fitted in.

[tetsuo]

was there a score board??

i couldnt see one...

We were talking about Cressy in the car on the way home. With Griff's arrival you've got to see Pugh pushing forward to the left hand side and Cressy playing up front in the short term, but when Mama returns or if another striker arrives then you have to fear that he'll be out of the starting eleven.

Overall he's done pretty well out on the left, but I think it's starting to catch up with him.
