You've hit the big time. A Chelsea fan would be on here next, but there is only about three proper ones and they're spread thin as it is.

everyone plays 451 when playing Stoke at the Brit unlike WBA,Hull & Fulham surely Liverpool could have come out & try to attack,to dominate the game on the grounds that their players are better than ours? instead Rafa worried about our set pieces & tried to nick the game compare this with Fergie who finished the game on Boxing Day with 4 up top & Giggs at leftback . no title for Liverpool until they learn to dominate games like yesterdays. Its always been our achillies heel hasn't it? By the way, i wouldn't compare Fulham to WBA and Hull - they have have got some pretty useful players.

The Chelsea fans will only log on come Monday morning when the finacial markets open and they are all back at work. Its hard running the country and supprting a footie team you know?

True, Arsenal had all of van persie, vela, walcott, adebayor and bendtner on the pitch during the course of their defeat to us, and we were just hanging on - maybe they could have thrown the lot at us yesterday and put keane on too, but they did make 2 attacking substitutions. Liverpool absolutely thrashed newcastle in their previous premiership match playing a very similar side that they lined up against us - i think they had alonso in for mascherano and babel instead of lucas, but it was largely the same shape to the side. Newcastle just couldn't handle that shape, I suppose benitez just hoped that if he sent out the same side with a couple of changes of personnel that we wouldn't cope either. Guess he isn't too familiar with ryan shawcross and abdoulaye faye

yes Fulham are a decent side but Hodgeson played 451 here,dropped Zamora to do this & played for the point - & fair enough -.
Arsenal made the same mistake as Rafa to me worried too much about ours side instead of trusting in their own game.

I think Stokes away IS to do with the pitch. It's unbelivable the difference it makes. You're so compact that Stoke can get at you. Stoke aren't the fittest team in the league, as in they couldn't hassel you constantly like they love on such a large picth. Thier clearances often reach Fuller at home, and he's a handful when hes running.
Add in the loud home support, and you've got a very good home record.

Rafa does it a lot thoughd doesn't he. In all fairness yesterday if Alonso was fit the game might have been different. But same could be said for Sidibe and Fuller. Fuller is certainly a handful on his day. Berbatov is showing signs of greatness. In all fairness that's whywe beat Stoke when he come on, a quick turn andwe've scored. I think (and hope) that's why we'll finish above you in the league this year. We have Berbs, Rooney and Ronaldo who can hopefully make a 0-0 to a 1-0, like we've been doing recently. You take Gerrrard out o the liverpool squad and it's very composed, and not much spark. Whilst i may be reasonable, i'm afraid i cant engage in any converstaion involving that horrible portuguese hambag carrying rent boy. Sorry. ;D The main reason I like Liverpool and hope they win the title is they despise the Mancscum as much as Stoke do! Liverpool have taken 2 points off us this season and the shit took all 6 if that sways it in the shits favour I'll be gutted.

hope liverpool win the premiership,realy i mean i hope man poo,arsenal,chelsea dont win it.
think rafa was mad to play 1 forward.if i was a manager i would attack stoke as much as i could,because we have no pace to counter attack and as soon as torres come on he got gerrard in the game and caused problems in the air.glad he icked that side though
goarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn Stoke

What's your thoughts on Keane Anfieldred ? For me it seems mad not playing him, he was slow to start scoring this season but then started banging them in and he is thenm on the bench all the time ? Dont get me started on that cause i'll get all high pitched and started waving my arms around. We love Rafa right, but sometimes he he's a total flippin mentalist. You buy a striker, he has a shit start and his confidence is shot to pieces. As soon as he starts scoring and looking like a £20mill player he is dropped to the bench. Very Very Frustrating correct me if im wrong but surelt this would of been the best starting mid/forward line yesterday reira gerrard mashcerano babel keane torres

AR. Stokes poor away form is largely down to lack of ambition so far,Hopefully during the window our attacking option will improve and we'll go for the occasional win! Starting next week at Chelski -that should make you and Twiggy happy

We were shit and i'd hate you to think that we play like that every week, but..... your lads effort is great - you just dont get that from abunch of pony tailed continentals. The two massive black lads at centre back and centre mid seemd to scare the shit out of our highly paid alleged best in world superstars. The noise you lot make is pretty useful - as an away supporter only Portsmouth a couple of years ago has bettered that. Pity you don't pass it more, but fuck it you got a point didn't you. Ps - our support didnt turn up either - pisses me rigt off! Well said that man.

Cheers for that. When fuller and sidibe get back, we'll have a decent chance of staying up. "you just dont get that from a bunch of pony tailed continentals..." Starting line up of Wilkinson, shawcross, higgy, whelan, delap, etherington, cresswell, kitson. Bench of Simonsen, pugh, tonge, griffin - all uk/irish players!! I doubt any other prem team comes anywhere near that Ferdinand, Brown, Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves, Rooney starting line up. O'Shea, Neville, Foster, Campbell on bench Man United and Stoke pretty much the best British teams. Curtis Davis, Luke Young, Zat Knight, Ashley Young, James Milner Gareth Barry, Nigel Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Gaby Agbonlhor -starting line up then Harewood,Shorey Any More???

good post AR, nice to have big 4 fans on here without them attempting to insult us. Btw how do you feel about that lucas player you have in your midfield? No offence but he looks lightweight and distinctly average.

Cheers for coming on to say that Anfield. Our away form, like others have said, was lack of ambition/too much respect shown earlier in the season. Lately though it's been bad luck and injuries really, so with a full squad we ought to start picking up points.
