Patronising you ? I'm suggesting that Norwich having a few chances at home against us isn't a big shock(to me). 1. Go back and read your posts. 2. Nobody had suggested anything differently. 3. This 'discussion' is becoming a touch tedious if I'm honest. 3.You're dead right.

Stay 11th 10th is regression and I'll do my investing privately however if we don't sign a player or two next week this team is in regression and I will happily donate a few quid to Donna Louise if that's wrong and we finish 9th or higher but let's see what happens by 1st September . Right now I would genuinely take 40 points and 17th if offered as the scale of change jeans there has to be a risk Stay 11th? Wtf are you on about,we've finished 9th last 2 seasons!

1. I said I was surprised at other people's REACTIONS, not at how Norwich played. 2. If that's the case, why are you patronising me for having an opinion? Patronising you ? I'm suggesting that Norwich having a few chances at home against us isn't a big shock(to me).

Perhaps because you're underestimating Norwich. On the main match thread I posted before the game that I thought this would be a very difficult game, in fact I said that I expected us to lose and would be delighted with a point. I knew we would find it very tough, mainly because we look lightweight. I was not prepared for the glut of chances Norwich created against us. There was a five minute spell in the second half where they could have scored FOUR goals. FOUR. not good enough Doesn't sound like you're delighted with a point!

Surprised? For someone who lives on here and has a lot to say for themselves,you're surprised that Norwich gave us a game? Perhaps it's because you think Norwich are a relegation cert. I'll be surprised if Norwich finish in the bottom five. I think you need to read my post again. I didn't remotely say I was surprised that Norwich gave us a game did I? And what on earth is how often I post got to do with anything? Oh and I haven't suggested anything about where Norwich will finish either. And in case you hadn't realised, this is a discussion forum, you know, where people 'have a lot to say' for themselves - it's kind of erm ... the POINT of them. Read your own post again.What were you expecting? This is a discussion forum hence me discussing it with you.

I'll be surprised if Norwich finish in the bottom five. No one said that did they? Surprised at how many clear cut chances Norwich created, which was near to double figures. I certainly did not expect that and cannot remember us conceding that many chances for years. I think we should be far better than that. Perhaps because you're underestimating Norwich.

They don't in fact But still we can find some kind of cover Of course having spunked 3.5 million uselessly on a CB whom sparky is now horrified to play doesn't help at all And that is where the problem lies - if sparky goes for a CB now Coates will inevitably ask him what the F@@@ did he buy Wolly for !!!! And he's not going to do that - which leaves us with a very big problem Big problem? You haven't got a fuckin clue.

Just about on target for a top 17 finish , I'd try Wilson at centre back next week and Cameron in the van Ginkel role with Walters in the hole behind Diof or ireland or Adam or bojan affelay to join van Ginkel on the bench or in the stands , Both would start at Luton for me as part of the toughening up process Come on then big mouth,an even grand bet.If Stoke finish top 11,I win,12th and below,the money is ypours.

Honestly? I can't remember the last time an opponent created so many chances against us.i was counting down the seconds to the final whistle from the 50th minute. We were playing norwich. Cameron jerome was made to look like fucking Cristiano Ronaldo I think this is fair comment Pete. We could EASILY have gone for five or six today, Butland was amazing and some of Norwich's finishing was woeful. I (like you) am quite surprised at how many people are seemingly unconcerned by how many times Norwich just simply waltzed into our box today. Surprised? For someone who lives on here and has a lot to say for themselves,you're surprised that Norwich gave us a game? Perhaps it's because you think Norwich are a relegation cert. I'll be surprised if Norwich finish in the bottom five.

Higgy's 'opinions' invariably seem to be his master's voice. He seemingly Can't countenance any kind of football that doesn't involve sticking 10 men behind the ball at all times and hitting the big man. He was tipping it as the solution every time he saw us last season and he tipped England under-21s to do it in the summer. It's all he knows. Strange considering where he learnt his football.

Every list I see of who should go because our squad is too big semms to contain Ireland.Fortunately the manager is still a fan. Seems to understand the game more than the average footballer.Think he'd fit right in with all our superstar signings.

Fuck off Higginbotham ya fuckin judas.Didn't you fuck off to the brighter lights of Sunderland when we failed in the play offs,only for you to return when they didn't want you! We didn't fail in the play offs 06-07 We finished just outside the playoff places.. That's right.How could I forget the game we needed to win by a cricket score yet played 8 defenders.The point is still valid.

I'm not abusing him for his comments on the match.I don't think he should be in the public eye 'representing' Stoke when he didn't want to risk an injury playing for us because Sunderland wanted him. Scored the goal that took us to Wembley FFS. Remember when Lou fucked us off for Celtic? You're comparing what Higginbotham and Macari did for us,funny.

Everyone's got an opinion,like you say,you thought he was a tossbag at the time,I still do.Yet he's making a living on Stoke being in the Prem,i don't care for his opinion. No he's making a living on being an ex footballer as a pundit. Not because Stoke are in the prem. Anyway mate a cracking point today in the end! Superb fightback!

Who's abused him for his opinion? It's the whole point of this thread? Him getting abuse for saying something to p+g? And my point is,he shouldn't be in the media eye giving a weekly opinion on a team he refused to play for.

Firstly, great comeback & in the end it was thoroughly deserved. Special mention to Ireland & Arnautovic who I thought were superb. I just think we still lack that presence in the centre midfield. Someone who can impose themselves onto the game. Someone who can stick his foot in when we're up against it, but on the other hand keep us ticking over when we are in control. As I type this it dawns on me that I'm describing N'Zonzi, but I'm just not convinced we have adequately replaced him. It's all well & good having the flair & skillful players like Arnie, Bojan & Shaqiri but if we cannot keep the ball & get it to them, then they become ineffective. Ireland is our most under rated player.

Really what? Idiot who's going to make a decent living from Stoke being in the prem now he's a pundit.You've obviously forgotten the fact that he refused to play for us when Sunderland wanted him.I haven't! ok. And no I haven't forgot. Thought he was a tossbag at the time. Having said that I think he was a good player for us first time and second time. We've moved on, he's moved on, football moves on and at the time I could sort of understand it - looking back. Stoke aren't the club we were back then. Higgy played a massive contribution to where we are now. No loyalty in football, they all fuck off in the end. Everyone's got an opinion,like you say,you thought he was a tossbag at the time,I still do.Yet he's making a living on Stoke being in the Prem,i don't care for his opinion.

Bizarre that he's getting abused for stating an opinion. He's trying to make a career as a pundit so it's literally his job to do that these days. He's not obliged to think everything about what our current team does is utterly fantastic because he used to play for us. Who's abused him for his opinion?

Something similar happened to Etherington if I remember rightly. Slightly criticised stoke and got abuse for it. Really don't get it. I'm not abusing him for his comments on the match.I don't think he should be in the public eye 'representing' Stoke when he didn't want to risk an injury playing for us because Sunderland wanted him.

stokerstayingup, He went to sunderland because we sold him, and he couldnt wait to come back, Pulis sold him, so get your facts right. He wouldn't play for us because 'his head wasn't right'.Get your facts right mate.

If we are to maintain 9th place at least and take the cups seriously,we'll need a big squad.The good thing about Hughes' management style is that a player knows that if he gets a chance in the team and performs well,he'll keep his place.

Well he certainly wasn't the only one,I distinctly remember the flavour of the month carelessly giving away possession on more than one occasion when he was shifted to left back.Bottom line is all of the defenders played well. He did but it wasn't in dangerous areas unlike all of Geoff's. And that's the difference. Just to reiterate though, Geoff was my MOM.... It was just outside our penalty area!? But,we agree,Cameron was MOM.
