i speak as i find.. ;D the guys a grade a scumbag who loves winding people up.. calling him a cunter is too good for him tbh... To be fair though, this is a message board. Its not real life. I'm sure faf just wants the best for the team. He could be a top bloke for all you know. And i'm not going to lie i do believe he makes some decent points (at times). I think his general message is positive. You cannot settle for less in this league, in any walk of life. You always have to keep looking to improve. You cannot settle for defeats at home to Blackpool. Alex Ferguson for me is the greatest manager of all time no question. He didnt get the best out of his players by saying "well done" whenever his team lost. He got the best of his players by drilling it into them that losing was never an option. To say "i'll be happy with premier league survival" is basically saying "I'll be happy with relegation". It's a potentially devestating stance to take. I'm pretty sure Tony Pulis knows this as well. he always comments on how we must never stand still in this league, and he is correct. Theres only one way to look in football, and that is football. You have to constantly look at improving, and if something isnt working, you cannot be afraid to change it. Its time to move on from this negative and humble mentality of "look where we were 3 years ago". That will get you nowhere. We are with the big boys now, and we must believe we are as good as any other team around us. There is never anything wrong with ambition. Even in its most extreme form. How do you make that out ;D

bloody hell!! are you and your type, so obsessed with me that i merit a mind numbing rant like that ?? you really need to get a life ! but you are so wrong its ridiculous, goes to show you NEVER really read what i post. In ever revel in a loss, im the first one to point out the rimmers who are happy with a loss, or a win for that matter, and that because i raise hell we lost makes me happy about it! I will put out a 250 quid bounty to anyone that can find a post or thread started by me where it says i was happy with a loss. the fact that you cannot see (or read the EXACT same COMMENT by Ryan Shawcross a cpl of days later) that being streaky and inconsistent winning 3, losing 3 winning 3, losing 4 etc, goes to show that your agenda in life is against anybody (me in particular) that has an opposing opinion to yours, someone who doesnt want to see Stoke wallow in mediocrity like you and your rimmer friends do, who doesnt think its Ok to lose to Blackpool at home like you seem to. your obsession with me is really quite frightening, as i said, get a life ! you're a cunt. Think you will be banned for that mate

You want better than we have but want EG and Tuncay to be starting games? I know silly me for wanting Tuncay to start oh i do apologise. As for Eidur i don't recall me saying he should start. When Tuncay has started we havnt got many points (if any) He is best off on the bench when everyone is fit

Your blind mind, fuller can get the ball down from his chest and pick a pass or skip past a few players You are quite unbelievable mate you really are What?! I'm quite sure if Fuller could do these things you are saying then he would have been used as a target man in the past. You are totally bonkers. Literally. No because fuller would be wasted as the traget man but at times he does find the ball at his chest and he is very good at taking it down and playing it to people

Im not saying fuller has been as good as eidur, i was just putting you in your place as you said fuller wasnt bery good at this Well no, Fuller's main strength certainly isnt bringing a ball down in the air and taking it on his chest and picking out a pass. Which Fuller have you been watching. You are mad. Fuller's strength is quite literally his strength. On the ball he can push past people with ease, and has the pace to cause problems to even the best defenses. Just not on the same level that Eidur could potentially. Your blind mind, fuller can get the ball down from his chest and pick a pass or skip past a few players You are quite unbelievable mate you really are

Fuller is great and getting the ball and bringing it down You get funnier mate ;D Not in the same league as Gudjohnsen. Have you seen the iceman's ability to contol a ball? Its something else. There was a reason why Fuller was at Preston when Eidur was at Chelsea. FFs get your tinted specs off and start using your head. Fuller is a great player for Stoke but is not in the same league as a world class striker like Eidur Gudjohnsen for godsake man what the hell is wrong with you. Im not saying fuller has been as good as eidur, i was just putting you in your place as you said fuller wasnt bery good at this

I was going to say.. yeah if i'm honest i agree with you there, but can you really see Pulis playing Tuncay and Gudjohnsen together, leaving out our record signing who is also our top scorer, and leaving out our ever inspirational Jamaican? Pulis has always been reluctant to play Fuller and Tuncay what makes you think he will play Gudjohnsen and Tuncay. If i'm honest, Tuncay does a lot of work, but he leaves holes all over the pitch when he runs around and deserts his position. I would like to see Eidur start at Blackburn, or Fulham. But i would prefer it to be playing up front with either Ric or Jones. Well, i see your point, but i feel that Eidur could be used as more of a target man than you might think. He is very strong on the ball, and played this role with great success at Barcelona. (yes one of the best teams of all time). With Fuller and Tuncay i suppose you could argue you dont have that guy who can bring the ball down and win things in a physical sense. Though id still love to see it given a go I know Tone will not. However, with Eidur and the Turk i think Tony might consider it. Maybe Cardiff in the cup we will see it given a try. Fuller is great and getting the ball and bringing it down You get funnier mate ;D

Whats happened to fuller in this fantasy team of yours then? Has he just been tossed to the bench? I've said all along. Fuller is a great player, but is more affective on the bench. Though against weaker teams at home such as Blackburn, Blackpool and Sunderland Fuller should start up top alongside Eidur and Tuncay in the hole behind the 2 strikers. We would absolutely murder them. That is absolute fucking bollocks mate, we were shite when fuller was starting from the bench, we start him and we win a load of games. Do you actually believe some of the shite you write?

You're not listening pick, Tuncay is starting - which means we'll finish in the top 6 obviously. And Delap will turn into Pirlo overnight, and we'll play beautiful passing football. All of that with Pulis in charge. Mental. No. Delap and Whitehead can continue to do their dirty work providing you have either the Turk or Gudjohnsen playing deep. In fact Gudjohnsen has on many occasions played as a central midfielder, as an atacking midfielder, or in the hole. As well as being a target man. Unfortunately at Stoke hes played in the hole just behind Tony Pulis' seat on the bench. Whats happened to fuller in this fantasy team of yours then? Has he just been tossed to the bench?

Our 2 defensive midfielders that start are 34 and 28, they cant pass and arnt going to get any better at those ages Pulis will NEVER change from his tried and trusted 4-4-1-1 so you can forget about your fantasy formations No you are probably right. I doubt he will. It goes without saying that in playing Gudjohnsen and the Turk it would provide a far more beautiful spectacle for the spectators as well. Jones is just a big donkey, lets be honest. Just my view of course. And Tuncay is just a show pony

Our CM's and defense cant pass a ball, they wouldnt get much service to feet, it wouldnt work in our system. I think its time for you to wake up and smell the coffee Wrong. They need to learn how to pass a ball. Besides as i've said a million times when you play Tuncay/Gudjohnsen they can provide that missing link from the midfield to the forward line. They CAN pass, dribble, score. Now you will say "but they are too lightweight for midfield". But that doesnt matter if your playing a 4-5-1 with Tunny doing the deep work and Eidur as the target man. Because you still maintain your defensive qualities in Delap and Whitehead. Also Wilson can pass a ball, so id disagree with your statement on that level. Our 2 defensive midfielders that start are 34 and 28, they cant pass and arnt going to get any better at those ages Pulis will NEVER change from his tried and trusted 4-4-1-1 so you can forget about your fantasy formations

We would be in the bottom 3, who would win the flick ons from the long balls? Its frustrating pick, because you see people like yourself are able to sit there and say things like that knowing full well that we will never get the chance to see it happen. You have no evidence whatsoever to even suggest that we woulds finish in the bottom 3 with Gudjohnsen and Tuncay. More like top 6 i think you would find. Our CM's and defense cant pass a ball, they wouldnt get much service to feet, it wouldnt work in our system. I think its time for you to wake up and smell the coffee

Adebayor looks like he doesn't want to be there though and his attitude on the pitch shows that, that's the issue with him. I just don't like or rate him that highly. Surely the same could be said of Jones. I'm not going to lie for £8 million i think hes been an enormous let down so far. 4 league goals in 16 STARTS. Its not even like any of these appearances have been from the bench. He starts every game week in week out. I'm telling you now, if you gave Tuncay or Gudjohnsen 16 starts in a row they'd have more than that. And would have created a shit load more than that as well. Just my view of course. We would be in the bottom 3, who would win the flick ons from the long balls?

So why the fuck do you always want Collins in the team ??? Because there is not a better performing left back at the club is there? Higgy was good last season and not had as many chances as Collins

One thing i absolutely believe is that if a player is playing rubbish, then they should be dropped. No 2 ways about it. Likewise if a player is playing well and doing his job then they have earnt their spot for the next game. So why the fuck do you always want Collins in the team ???

ofcourse it has, just like every club. you are not the only club to have things go against you, what about the first goal against Liverpool, and the freak goal against Arsenal? You will be referring to the Cattermole handball though, which was a certain red and pen, but hardly happens every game! That Arsenal goal was freakish but it had fuck all to do with wank refs. We have had some real shite decisions go against us this season, I can count upto 5 games where the ref has cost us

And leave out our record signing who is also our top scorer ??? And leave out our weak link in recent weeks. So Jones scored 4 goals back in October ffs. Time to freshen things up. Especially with a hectic period coming up. Give Gudjohnsen, Tuncay and Walters a chance to shine. If Tuncay had played like Jones did the other week he would have been taken out and shot. He was poor against Blackpool, hes been ok otherwise
