A few MOTD observations: - How the hell didn't Whelan's goal make a contender for goal of the month exactly |

Do people realise that MOTD isn't a programme just about Stoke? What the hell do you want to see? "We'll be with you" as the title music, soundtracking a montage of goals, exclusively drawn from our victories this season? Gary Lineker to begin the show by singing Delilah while masturbating over a picture of Ricardo Fuller? Hansen and Lawrenson to sit there dressed in Stoke 72 League Cup final shirts, dead-eyed and just repeating the mantra-like-phrase "Stoke are so ace they'd piss on Brazil"? Every other match highlights package to consist of just the goals, fast forwarded x100 to get them over quicker, and then a full unedited 90 minute re-run of our game, with 5 player interviews afterwards and pre-match shots from the dressing room? Get a fucking grip.  |

So do I actually, thinking about it! ;D
Perhaps we should write to them and demand a Stoke City special on the day we secure safety? (optimistic thinking there...)

Notice how goals on sunday showed what would have been one of the goals of the season had ethers tucked that chance away. Free flowing one touch football from one box to the other.
Did match of the day show it? Did they hell as like! Doesn't fit in with how we 'have' to be portrayed does it?

Yeh i noticed they edited the best move of the day out, but like you say, MoTD like to shape a narrative, we've been type cast as the team who just lumps it up field and defends for 90 minutes, which to be fair i guess we have been that team for almost all of our away games, but they should have shown that move which would have been a magic goal if Etherington had his shooting boots on. |

Get a fucking grip. Quality, Trousers. Now that's a programme I'd happily Sky plus. I could do without the Lineker/Fuller masturbatory segment though, but I suppose it would have a certain niche market. Not sure it's a line the Beeb would want to go down after the Ross/Brand/Manuel shenanigans. ;D |

Oh yeah, and did anybody else hear the drum at Bolton?? That was giving me a fooking headache waiting for the potters to come on. Drums should be banned from football grounds. |

Hansen has been praising us for a while now this season - and if we're being honest, it was poor Brazil defending that gave us our two goals. As for Lawro, I think he's a closet Stokie - he predicts us to lose every week, and we duly win. Proper reverse psychology ;D

Crooks was the same on BBC sport. 'Very winnab;le at Stoke, points there to be picked up'. Prick.

The Stoke Hero Garth said "I can't see them losing at Stoke'.
Why not Garth? We're 6 points in front of them and don't need any 'false messiahs' to inspire passion and committment.
He is entitled to his opinion but a bit of 'home town' loyalty wouldn't go amiss.
