I know that saying anything bad about John Motson is like speaking ill of Princess Diana, but i seriously question what John Motson knows about football, this prediction aside.

He's been taking advice of Lawrenson again - they don't half talk some shite when commentating together!

He has been doing it for ages.
No room for complacency; we need to get points ASAP to proove all these "experts" wrong.

He went senile about 15 years ago so I wouldn't get to upset by his ramblings.

That boring prick should do the stats for the lottery balls and fuck off from football.

Question all you want, Motson has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know. Shock horror, someone is predicting Stoke to go down. Seriously, who gives a fuck? If Stoke stay up, I'm sure someone as decent as Motty will say well done you've proved me wrong. Like it or not, Stoke are still one of the favorites to go down. You lot are so touchy ffs.

Forget Motson. He's been irrelevant for about ten years. His performances at the last two world cups were embarrassing.
His obsession in Japan '02 that games were being shown in the early morning in Britain ("It's Eggs and Beckham!" "Seaman with your shreddies!" Thanks John, I just thought the milk was a bit lumpy) was tiresome.
In '06 he descended into feverish self-abuse whenever Brazil were on in spite of the fact that they weren't playing very well! "Oh Corner!" he creamed when they were struggling to beat Australia. "He's what you call a defensive midfielder. Do they have those in Brazil?" Er yes John. Dunga, Kleberson, Gilberto, Emerson.
He's a senile old cretin who should have been sent to the glue factory with David Coleman years ago. I miss Barry Davies.

My sister was a whore for a few years to fund her crack addiction and actually negotiated a price with Motson when she saw him at stafford services buying a ginsters wrap.

I was pissed at the time and sitting against the wall as he walked in. I just couldn't help myself. He looked quite shocked but didn't say anything just walked in. Wrights steak as I remember.

Why is anyone shocked that a TV Pundit/Commentator predicts us for the drop? I am certain that he bears us no ill will and is simply giving his honest opinion. I happen to think he's wrong but I'm not surprised at the prediction.
I love Stoke City with a vengeance (have done for nearly 50 years) but EVEN I rate us a one of the worst 4 or 5 teams in the Division. If we weren't stoke fans, most of us would be tipping the boys to be in the thick of it so come on, a little perspective folks!
INHO he's been a pretty good comentator over the years but he's 'knocking on a bit' now. The fact that he tips us to go down doesn't automatically make him a tosser.

John Motson knows about as much about Football as Ian Wright does!! Its as if somebody gave him a stats book for christmas as a kid and he knows it off by heart, but has no understanding of the actual game.
I'd be more worried if the senile old twat said we were going to stay up!!

John Motson has connections in Stoke, my old headteacher was his friend and used to have JM stay at his house in Lightwood. Motson is still the best commentator by a country mile IMHO and we are still in a very precarious situation as regards relegation. Stoke's survival is by no means the formality that many people on here believe it to be. Loads of work left to do...

Dave; Motson has been a good commentator and is simply passing his opinion. I don't think that the bulk of Stokies are over-confident mate and we know how much more we still have to do. Some do get a bit 'prescious' whenever we are tipped to go down and they should just accept that many will have the same opinion. I'm sure Motty would be the first to congratulate us if we stay up. Nowt wrong with confidence in your team though Dave and I certainly hope the playing staff are confident. (Confidence though NOT arrogance mind)!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but i agree with pugsley.
Some people here need to get a fucking grip. Football pundits and commentators across the land are going to have to be giving their relegation predictions these next few weeks, we are in the mixup therefore we are going to be picked by some of those pundits. Whilst (stoke) people are confident we are staying up, it's not been written in stone yet so we are more than fair game to be predicted to drop - why the wet knickers about it?

Motson once tried to get a colleague of mine sacked because on a piece of correspondence to him he put OBE after his name in lower case. Do not believe his cheery, uncle boring statto exterior, the man is a horrible piece of work.
Can't get to upset by him tipping us to go down though that's just his opinion he hasn't bolted it on to some groundless anti Stoke bigotry like Messrs Alexander, Quinn, Dungham and Shight.
