Labour don't need to answer any of those questions because Labour haven't said any of those things. You've taken the voices of a tiny, fraction of people and attributed it entirely to Labour. It's all part of the culture war designed to make our politics bi-partisan. I voted Tory my whole life until 2017. I don't believe that Labour hate this country, hate our history, hate our people, tried to overturn Brexit, support terrorists, play identity politics, push the politics of envy or anything else they're regularly accused of. I switched from voting Tory to Labour in 2017 because having got to a place in life where I'm incredibly comfortable, I now have first hand knowledge of the inequalities in our society and I believe Labour to be the only party who genuinely want to change it. Now, to many that makes me a middle class, woke, champagne socialist. Again, all part of the culture war. We all need to stop listening to politicians and the media, and just take a look at the lives of many of our compatriots. We should be doing much, much better for so many Brits. Hate this country : no Hate our history : partly and are trying to rewrite Hate our people : no Tried to overturn brexit: to bloody right starmers sticky prints are all over it Support terrorists : apart from the odd rouge no Playing identity politics: juries out Politics of envy : there whole ethos has been based on envy Racist : proven

Stop stalking me you creepy racist. The main reason I don't post on here much any more is that vile pieces of filth like you can call me a 'Paki fucker' and just carry on as if nothing has happened. It's quite an apt microcosm of the country in which we live, however. Best ignored mate, along with the fascist crapslinger. Trotsky on you sad little ex school teacher, you should be used to losing by now yet another pasting for your boys yesterday

Back to the disastrous results for the Labour Party yesterday will they ever recover from the Corbyn regime ? should the Party spilt into two in order to regain any sort of credibility and trust, the far left have damaged the Party irreparably at the moment we don't have any credible opposition to challenge the greedy, heartless Tories.

Life isn't fair sometimes you just have to make the best of the hand dealt to you, during the engineering strikes I worked three jobs to keep my families head above water I was 20 years old with a mortgage and child on the way, you do what you have to do crack on put your barrow down and work your way through the shit times. True mate people sneer at "work ethic" and just getting on with things, today there are too many whiney, soft and entitled work shy mardy buggers. Most of them wouldn't know what a hard days graft is let alone then doing a 4 hour shift behind a bar to make ends meet, soft as shit they think the world owes them a living.

I said a while back at least another ten years, but you could be right. The country has definitely moved further to the right. The country has been forced further to the right because of the new culture of the left. When a section of society starts attacking your values, your flag, your history, your color, your ethics, your education and referring to you as "gammon", what the fuck did these privileged, metropolitan, snobby clowns expect? We will have a hard right leader in the next 12 years or so. Its in the making. Labour have deserted their grass roots voters for years, those voters have now deserted them forever and I speak as a previous Labour voter.

I suppose it it is in a right wing, moral free, abusive society. It doesn't have to be like that though. Absolutely and neither did I like it as a father of two kids etc but I got on with things the last time I was finished it did me a massive favour because I changed career and never looked back.

Corbyn and Momentum were a complete and utter disaster for Labour and it’s obvious the country doesn’t think Labour have gone far enough back to the centre as yet If the left of the party look on this defeat as being Starmer fault and try and retake control they will be out of power for ever Absolutely. People are clearly not put off voting Conservative regardless of the mess the country is in. England is fundamentally right-wing, which includes being deeply patriotic (and a bit insular). Why anyone would think that the best solution to that is to offer a much more left-wing alternative is beyond me! As I said, it'll take years before the Brexit free ride for the Tories washes off and Starmer may well be gone by then, but a more centrist Labour Party is the only one that will get elected, as recent history shows. Brexit's fault the Labour Party is unelectable

The same one who held Hartlepool twice? With an increased vote share? That one? Took out Theresa May in 2017? That one? He took out Theresa May by losing an election to her 🤣 You know Labour is fucked when they celebrate defeats. It's over dude. Find a new party.☺️ Communism has no chance though maybe he could move to Scotland and vote for wee jimmy Trotsky.

I'm still unsure as to whether you're a tiresome WUM or an idiot. You've got a serious chip on your shoulder haven't you? You can't be this bitter and dull in real life? Just because you're renowned on here as a tedious, boring dope whose creepily obsessed with anti Conservative tweets, don't take your anger out on others! 😉 He used to be a teacher I will have you know God help the kids he taught.

Again, the tone of your post is simply that the electorate have got it wrong, you've got to blame somebody I suppose. Perhaps Labour are out of touch with how the electorate are thinking now, not the other way round? We'll see, won't we. Brexit has provoked a reawakening of patriotism. As these both wane over the next few years, we'll probably see the actual things that really affect people's lives return to front and centre importance. I mean, I'll have a little wager with you if you like that we're still talking about how the NHS is struggling in a few years time, among one example of public services that don't improve. But as I said above, with the political direction England is moving in and the support of the right-wing press, maybe even that won't change the way people vote? Given that, I imagine there'll be a good few conversations about privatising the NHS in the corridors of power over the next few years. It'd save govt a fortune, cost us more obviously, but that doesn't really matter. You blame Brexit what a shock have you thought about seeking help you appear to be suffering from ican'tstandnotgettingmywayitis man up you lost again.

I don't think it's that. I think it's more a case of people still needing to vote Conservative because they were the Party that got Brexit done and to do otherwise would feel like a bit of an admission that it wasn't a good idea. Everything else clearly doesn't matter. It'll take years until not voting Tory if you're a Brexiteer doesn't feel like a betrayal, regardless of what's happening to the country. In denial No longer the party of the working class. Not listening. Do as we say, think as we tell you. Moaning. Taking the knee didn't help, nor did the lack of patriotism. But, most importantly, they won't be trusted following the Brexit vote and the attempt to reverse it,for years. Using your logic, the mistake of Brexit is so obvious the only thing that they need to do in the next General Election is to promise( you like that word) to take us back in the EU and they will win by a landslide and everything will be rosy forevermore in the Utopia. Crack on. the ostrich party.

Foot, ankle injury? Shades of Jack Butland. Also he’s not a game changing keeper ( in a positive sense) and hasn’t been for two years. Still if Stoke want to waste more money, that’s up to the management. It's become a bad habit chucking money away not a sensible way to run any business .

For those not wanting him to return, you'll have to hope his foot/ankle injury is a bad one that rules him out for a lengthy spell. Quite clearly, he never fully recovered from the small operation he had earlier in the season. The only way he doesn't return is if O'Neill isn't our manager or if his injury is more serious than initially thought. If he's fit for the start of the season, he'll be back here as No1. it makes no sense with 2 perfectly adequate keepers who in my opinion are both superior that are already here. We have better ways of investing what little money we have. Add to that he seems injury prone. Lunacy if we bring him back and we don’t have the money to invest in more needy positions. There are more pressing issues than a goalkeeper for us at the moment can't see how this makes sense tbh, yet another player clogging up the treatment room.

So London is fucked because the current incumbent Mayor, who as you've indicated appears so popular he's more or less nailed on to stay in his job, looks like staying in his job? I've learned not to take your histrionics remotely seriously but have I missed something? Which is why people like you keep losing major elections and referendums. Once you accept the views of the wealthy metropolitan elite and fellow wokies don't reflect the vast majority of British people, you might have half a chance 😊 they really can't see or accept that normal working people have turned their back on this shit can they.

Although eg set pieces may be practiced in training. It all very part time. EG the monday club when those who didnt play on Saturday go in . Rest days, travelling etc. How many professional footballers want to improve their ability. They have made it. Can you make certain players practice eg whipping a ball in repeatedly until they get it right..?

For the most part there hasn't been a problem with attitude. I've seen plenty of Stoke teams that couldn't give a toss and this isn't one of them. Those teams aren't capable of the kind of organisation that keeps so many clean sheets and grinds out so many tedious goalless draws. I think injuries have affected us but that's been overstated. Fitness and tactics in the second half of games are recurring problems as is the commitment to certain favourites. Most of all though I think it's because when you go through the squad we look like a bottom half Championship team. We have too many players who are either past it or not up to it: Smith, Fox, Batth, Tymon, Thompson, Brown aren't good enough. Chester, McClean, Clucas, Vokes, Mikel, Allen, even Fletcher look various shades of past-it. We are what we are. Absolutely nail on head mate and I expect more of the same next season, unless we can unearth a gem or two in the summer and Campbell & Doughty come back fit and firing (highly unlikely). Unfortunately for the vast number of reasons discussed to death on this board, we are where we are until next summer. MON signed 6 of those 13 players has allowed two of them to trigger clauses enabling them to stay another season, the players he has brought in have not improved us the signing of Jacob Brown with the last of the parachute money is unforgiveable, with fans back in the ground I can't see them excepting this we are where we are for another mind numbing season of O'Neil ball watching fat Sam Vokes stroll around for 20 mins. every game despite contributing fuck all to the rest of our so called team.

He's just another politician - tells people what he thinks the majority want to hear. They all lie some are better at than others, some don't get caught and some don't care if they're found out as they can divert the attention elsewhere. Is MON a Major type in comparison? Dull as dishwater pretending to be as honest as the day is long whilst shagging one of his colleagues on the side for several years? Gouranga. Boris lies on an industrial scale. I can't recall a previous prime minister who lied to the same extent as he does - and I've been around a long time. The Northern Ireland protocol is a case in point. Boris said many times loud and clear, in the Commons and in newspaper articles and press conferences, that the agreement he had signed with the EU would not mean a Customs Border down the middle of the Irish Sea. And that anyone who was handed a Customs Declaration for goods being transported between those 2 parts of the UK after 1 January should refuse to fill it in. At the same time my former colleagues in Revenue and Customs were telling me that the government were actively recruiting and training new Customs staff in Northern Ireland and the Northern ports of Great Britain. Lo and behold, once the transition period to leave the EU ended on 31 December, a Customs Border was implemented between Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Customs staff were deployed at ports and airports serving routes across the northern part of the Irish Sea. I could go on - but I won't bother because there should be no need to spell it out - the bloke is an habitual liar and his lies are there for all to see if they can be arsed to look for them. What has this got to do with football ?

I find the thought of next season really depressing if MON is still here he reminds me of the ex prime minister John Major the grey man as they called him. Things need to change as i do not see the crowd being very excited or responsive to the same sort of football we have seen for the last 4 or 5 months. I've never voted Tory in my life but I'd take John Major over Boris as PM any day. Having a Prime Minister who at least attempts to be reasonably honest most of the time seems to be the minimum any country should expect. Edwina Curry

Sorry I totally agree with everything that you said that I didn’t quote. If I was a manager or the other jobs highlighted I wouldn’t go near the club now. It’s just that I don’t think things will be any better after next summer either. They will be better once FFP is off our backs - not because we will necessarily have better management but because, without FFP, whoever our manager is, will not be operating at a financial disadvantage to most of the other clubs in the Championship. That doesn't mean we will necessarily outperform, but we will at least have the chance of performing on a level playing field, which is clearly not the case at the moment. A situation that is totally self inflicted caused by the incompetence of the board and CEO, the club needs a root and branch overhaul until that happens the stench of failure will remain.

If we ever are going to challenge teams for the promotion places we can't have players like Tymon, Brown and Thompson in our first 11. If we have there won't be enough quality to get promotion. They are hard workers, but not good enough to be regular starters. They could be stop gaps for a short period, but only one at the time! ......................Davies...................... New right back...collins..Souttar.......Fox........ .......................Mikel....................... ...............Allen...........Powell.............. Campbell............New striker........Dougthy.... Subs; Bursik, Coates, Edwards, Jones, Batth, Forrester, Thompson, Etebo or New midfielder, New winger, Fletcher, Norton, Brown. Offload: Wimmer, Bauer, Badou, Woods, Gregory, Sørensen, Gunn, Chester, Smith, RND, Clucas, Ince, McClean, Vokes. For me we have to replace Allen and Mikel as well, they move the ball far to slowly, our midfield gets passed of the pitch every game. We are saddled with Obi and Chester for another season MON has seen to that

So it falls to me to tell you it won't happen. If there was a sensible solution, the board or some representatives for them would have found it and implemented it. But they have to be very careful not to set precedents, which could potentially, or, should I say very likely will come to haunt the club for years to come. If they just pay off the amount of players you mentioned (just for now pretending that ffp doesn't exist) then any future player that in some way falls out of favour can sit back and collect his full wages or his pay off doing nothing. In any future conflict the player/his agent can just point to what the club did in 2021 and say we want the same. This is why I think it will be difficult to turn down a decent bid for one of our rising stars. I honestly think several of the players I've mentioned would like a chance somewhere else. Wimmer has expressed he doesn't want to come back, but due to FFP I think we still need to recoup around £3M, which won't happen of course! Woods at Millwall would like to stay there as well, but due to FFP we need a fee of around £1.5M which Millwall won't pay. Anyway these players want to go, but we can't let them unless we bring in some money from sales, but then it's possible with some of them despite having good contracts for a remaining year at Stoke. Sickeningly the man who negotiated the contracts of these wasters is still allowed to carry on collecting his £1m salary every year, a CEO with no responsibility for anything nice work if you can get it.
