Each season's relegated Prem sides invariably comprise of 1 or 2 of the newly promoted sides (it's vary rare all 3 are relegated or stay up), plus 1 or 2 sides that just avoided relegation the previous season (occasionally there is a surprise team drops out). This season I would say Burnley and / or Brighton are certs for relegation. The surprise team could be Palace, I think they will miss Hodgson. Surprise stragglers for me this season are wolves and Southampton. Think Palace and Brighton will do fine. Newcastle will do a Newcastle and finish 15th-20th anything is possible.

I thought “there’s something really odd about this thread,” and then it hit me, there’s not a peep from Bayern. He must have gone fishing. He should do that more often. Good for the mental health and all that. when I was fly fishing even a day without a catch was a great day. I actually learned to spey cast on the Spey and had salmon jump over my fly up river - bastards! I have not caught salmon on some of the best salmon rivers in Europe. Also bastards. But I have successfully tickled trout in places I can't disclose in S-o-T. You sound like the perfect candidate for waggys spare bed in his room

Buses ar now down by sir stans statue ...WTF is that about? Always used to be a fairly smooth get away from the West CP. The only wait for buses was to let the away ones go first, then everyone from the North and West car parks was let go. Worked fairly smoothly - not pefect, but it worked. Today it was a good half an hour before we were let go. Why are the Home buses now being parked up behind the Boothen? Because they were from.the South car park which is now being used for the covid testing so the carpark is closed. Why not just park them on the west car park next to audi so they can shoot straight off behind away coaches or is that too sensible? What do the "supporters council" actually do? As shit like this they should be sorting, or at least attempting to.

A lot of our fan base seem incapable of either using Google or the official site. Pubs in .....? Can I take a bag on the coach Can I pay on the night For Christ's sake when was the last time anybody paid on the night !!! To be fair it is Stoke, coming off the global pandemic and people Still not using cash would probably be the only time Stoke accept pay on the night for a cup game

Recruitment again isn't it? Mcburnie, Brewster, 40 million quid and neither of them can score. Mcburnie in particular is a league 1 player. Can't see where the quality is in that team Very harsh on McBurnie. Had scored 31 goals in 59 games in the Championship before he moved to Sheffield United. I'd say he would walk into every championship side.

Went tonight and I thought he was poor again. Runs his bollscks off and harasses but he’s no threat to goal at all. He’s a forward who’s role it is to get in goal scoring positions( and score) and he’s miles away. We all love effort but there’s very little ability there. Think he might be an option at right wing back but he will never be a goal scoring forward. Hard to say after the best performance we’ve seen in four seasons but will easily be displaced by Ty or hopefully Delap. Were you pissed up or stayed on the coach? Another great game from Jacob and proved all the doubters wrong! A constant pest all night and ran himself into the ground. Well done lad great start to the season 👍👌

When they have shit like Shane Duffy starting at Brighton he mustn't be rated very highly so we must at least have a chance signing him permanent if he fancies it.

Superb today. Reminds me a little of a young David Luiz. I think we might drop one or two clangers this season with the risks he takes but more than makes up for it with how many attacks he will start. If he defends like Luiz then we will have problems

That some impressive stand they’ve built to replace the old riverside stand. Looking forward to our trip there in 3 weeks. BM Nice stand but why do they need a swimming pool? Lol suppose it's for all the prawn cocktail yuppy brigade

Is it 4 in his last 8/9 games now? pretty good return . Room for improvement in areas of course but amongst the goals at least Like I said before If he was as clinical as people wish he certainly wouldn't be at Stoke. He's young and can Still improve too.

They were slating the lino when he went off injured for a good 4 mins before they even realised. Absolute terrible both him and pej. Surely there's a young keen local Stoke fan who would love the opportunity?

They've made a few fantastic signings too Dewsbury-Hall sounds like a country estate mansion. I agree. Not a Signing he was on loan at mad naths Luton last season and did very well.

You can, Liverpool do it and so do Leeds they're the only two clubs ive listened to but it can be done. The broadcasting can be made better too with former players invited every game with a proper build up. The videos done get broadcast in enough places that's even if they do that kind of stuff?. Fanzone could be great too, we have some fantastic local restaurants and brewers who would all welcome being invited different weeks into the Fanzone and cooking fans different foods. The club applied to do it previously and were refused. There are regulations re live commentary on games in the leagues. Same as TV broadcasting. You can't just send someone with a microphone and commentate live . Liverpool have a match build up thing, so do Man U etc. You could say slightly bigger clubs than us with more interest in match day activities. The club have the rights for the commentary. They can also film before and after the games aslong as they don't film any match play live. With ifollow I don't think there would be much market for this at present anyway, but for commentary I think they would as the older fans who live further away would listen imo. Like I say the supporters council need to push it more towards the club, the main one for me is the fanzone and with local businesses needing cash after the pandemic now is a fantastic time to push it forward. It would cost around what, 200-300k dig out the bank behind the old sentinel stand, put steps in, put screens in with covers and heaters and ticket booths across the top to allow only fans with tickets into the fanzone.

Not really, they could offer Stoke fans a subscription TV channel with match commentary for what, fiver a month? Do interviews with players, show fans videos of the players training, training ground tours and even a day following Mon showing fans what it's like behind the scenes. Plenty of things and options but the club are just way behind. They tried with a match commentary idea before but not that simple. You can't simply broadcast your own match commentary . Are videos of behind the scenes etc already on social media, training etc. Is there really that big a call for it? You can, Liverpool do it and so do Leeds they're the only two clubs ive listened to but it can be done.

It's one of the many things I'd sort or at least attempt to if I was on the supporters Council. This, the fan zone, social media pages all need a major update. We're in 2021 and our club is still miles behind. Generally agree however this issue is purely down to Radio Stoke Not really, they could offer Stoke fans a subscription TV channel with match commentary for what, fiver a month?
