A few weeks ago, I posted something along the lines that I wasn't that keen on the Beattie signing and that I was inclined to think that his better days were behind him. I obviously had not seen enough of him playing for Sheff Utd and my reservations were based purely on his poor return for his big move to Everton not so long ago. I wanted my initial doubts to be proved wrong and to my delight, they have been.
Both he and Etherington have been immense since their arrivals and have enhanced our chances of survival no end. And I have to say Beattie is looking like the player of old. The way he took his goal against Spurs, his fantastic header yesterday, and his general all-round contribution and hold up play, proves he is as good as he has ever been. I have been mightily impressed by him. And what a flammin header!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His acquisition was a mastersroke by Pulis and with Etherington and possibly the returning Lawrence suppling him with the ammunition, I think he will score lots of goals for us and subsequently keep us in this division.
I apoligise to Pulis, and fans alike, for not having the faith in the beginning. I was wrong and I am so glad I was. James Beattie will be the catalyst in making Stoke great again. I have now seen the light.
What a fickle world we live in......

Good post, & as stated Etherington & Beattie look like they've been playing together for years.

Beattie is a great signing at that price
Natural finisher, and always willing to have a go from long range
Cant get in the scoring charts in the NOTW though ???
Not in the Prem or CCC charts

at least you admit when your wrong harry . I'm just wondering where all the people from midweek have gone that were calling for T.P. to go . i suppose they are just waiting for the next game we lose before coming from under the rock where they hide .
