Quality bloke, knew him when he lived in Blackpool.
I can't think what the politically correct term is though...
Head case I think

We battled from 1st minute to last minute today !

Big game against villa now... WE'LL BE WITH YOU !

Charlie 'local celebrity' Adam loves Blackpool, drinking and gambling. There isn't a week goes by he isn't seen up town in the local night clubs till the early hours of the morning. And having seen this myself and told this by a lot of people in Blackpool who know im a stoke fan, its pisses me right off. He is a great player but needs to concentrate on football. People say Pulis cant handle the big name players, Charlie can't handle the pressure of being a big name player...liverpool was the same. Pulis isn't stupid, his principles are based on discipline and fitness predominantly and Charlie has neither. I saw i different 15 minutes to others i heard on praise and grumble today. Touch and control looked poor and two free kicks hitting the wall. I cringe when people chant his name as he warms up like he is some sort of God...He will be gone at the end of the season as will Jermaine Pennant....people need to accept this. Thats the end of my rant, thanks

Does anyone else think Crouch has done absolutely nothing in that half. I don't mind playing on the counter attack, but crouch has to hold it up better and bring people into play, Jerome, Jones or Owen would all do a better job ! Hes held it up when hes had the chance and created one chance on his own, cant expect much more with this formation I just think Jerome would be more suited to this game, ball into his feet, turn, and run at them abit more, crouch is better played in a game where were actually getting some crosses into the box

Agree... i think if we could get a right winger and left back in, we would be laughing though.
Real areas of weakness at the moment.
SJW, doing what he can there but we need him up top!

Again, its what you consider entertainment.
The points i mentioned above were what keep me entertained. I would welcome skillfull free flowing football, it would add to the entertainment factor 100% , but its not always gonnna happen. We do have it in glimpses as do west ham, norwich, fulham, west brom and were in that catogory of teams right now.
Only the top 4 see that sort of stuff week in week out.
Look at some of the stuff we have seen in half of this season, the goal at west ham from the corner, jeromes 90th minute 30 yard volley, great vision from N'zonzi all season to be fair...
were getting better, some people just expect too much , too quick

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but, in MY OPINION, anyone who isn't enjoying being a Stoke fan at this moment in time, never will ! 4th round of the FA cup 10th in the prem lost 1 home game in a year But the initial point was about tactics / entertain /value for money etc. So, square pegs in round holes, Andy wilkinson at left back...question who would you play there? We dont have a great deal to choose from do we? Walters on the wing, wins hands down over Kightly and gives 100% effort in every game, is (i think) our leading goalscorer and he isn't even playing upfront ! Got to love Super John! Jones is starting games, and is right to on current form, no Pulis bias towards Crouch there, tonight was simply squad rotation for the Swansea game..where Jones will be back in. And entertainment, going down the Brit nowadays is entertaining, it just depends what you want from the day... im happy with a sell out crowd, funny chanting, a whole hearted performance, being hard to beat, loudest fans around, referee controversy, contrasting styles of play, disgusting pies and walking up the side of the canal on a wet Saturday afternoon, i love it Watching us out play the opposition off the park every week and dazzling the fans with technique and skill just isn't realistic... we are not a top four club...but some would still moan if we were ...

The guy has yet to play 90 minutes for us, and he never will, his fitness levels aren't great...he looked well of the pace today...
And let me tell you something....
Its not surprise he puts in these performances when he is still out drinking till stupid o clock in the morning in Blackpool night clubs, you can be sure to see him out in Sanuk again this weekend if anyone wants to discuss his recent performances with him

Im not suggesting we will get either, but if you could choose, what would you prefer ? Bare in mind we have never finished in the top ten of the prem, let alone the top 8. Or would you rather us finish 11th-14th and get back to wembley ? If it was me i would take 17th , if it meant another F.A cup final - would love to see us lifting a trophy with swing low sweet chariot echoing around the stadium ;D Wengers face would be priceless. Well I wouldn't mate . It would mean that we would have been on a disasterous and sustained run in the league, which would have serious alarm bells ringing about our Premiership future, whilst having fluked a few wins in the cup to paper over the cracks. Well 17th is a bit of an over exaggeration but my point is i would love to see us back at Wembley! I often think back to Kenwyn 1-on-1 with joe hart at 0-0 and think what might of been !

''Time to have a serious rethink. What changes would you like to see'' ?
Referees should not be allowed to make rash decisions, milliseconds after an incident. Take Clattenburg yesterday, he could of blown his whistle waited 10-15 seconds, assessed the players reactions, gone over the incident in his head again and then came to a decision - Instead he had his card in the air within 1 second of the incident...he has allowed his emotions to effect the outcome... Minutes before he was getting an earfull for not giving a stone wall penalty, from the crowd and players, and when n'zonzi makes the tackle out of anger he decides to send him off because he is sick of being undermined and berated. The clever thing to do would have been to call the captain and nzonzi over and explain, if the players attitude continues he will be going off....thus defusing the whole situation. Anyone with me ...
