We’ve been exceptional so far tonight. Play like that against anyone outside the top 8 we’ll get something. Ireland missed a killer chance, we had another that should have gone in, great save by DeGea.
We’ve made 2 silly mistakes and been punished.

I love Stoke but don't even know if I want us to stay up. It will just mean Lambert stays on and we stumble on to relegation in the future. We had a chance to do something exciting or adventurous and did the opposite. I'll be at the ground either way but head to the next home game with no optimism or excitement whatsoever. Feels like the old Stoke again. The shit Stoke I've supported for decades. You love Stoke but you don’t know if you want us to stay up?

Jack will not put a transfer request in this window. I’d put my left bollock on the line that he won’t. I would make sure there is nowt wrong with the right one before you do that world cup makes a good case for him getting out while the going is good
If they wouldn't pay decent money for the fecking manager why would we think they would pay good money on players
No flies on Coates though Bet365 now have us at 6-4 to go down from 2-1
In fact most bookies have shortened their odds
Does not seem to instil much confidence does it
I’m not sure any of your points have even a single iota of relevance in Jack Butland putting in a transfer request in January. Another club may come in for him and he may go, but a transfer request, I doubt it.

I really want to be optimistic, but stats don't lie. 2 clubs (Norwich & Aston Villa) 139 games 37 wins 37 draws 65 losses 26.6% win rate 150 goals 230 conceded 1.06 points per game If he can emulate that Wolves performance against us then I'm all for it. But he better go and get some players with pace. Good luck Paul, you're going to need it. The two stats that mattered at the end of the season; Survival. He did that. Next?

I think there will be some embarrassed Stoke fans when they calm down. Some of these threads are laughable.

I have calmed down a little now. We do need to bring back the 12th man on saturday like never before. We’ve got to, we simply have to. We shouldn’t be writing a man off before he’s even had a minute in charge. He’s been out in Germany in his unemployment, learning from coaches at Bayern Munich and the likes. He’s got a desire to be a better manager this time round. GOARRRNNN STOKE, UP THE MIGHTY POTTERS!!

I've done some reading after drying my "pissy knickers ", whilst I still disagree with the appointment he seems to promote youth and his preferred formation is a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2... I'm prepared to cautiously give the man a chance, no matter how much in my head i'm screaming for fuck sake! His season in charge of Newly promoted Norwich garnered 47 points, and he managed to keep a plummeting Villa side in the league. Any more positives guys, before I go for another cry? Back to back promotions to the Premier League?

Depends whether the inevitable transfer requests from Shaq and Jack go through.... Sent from my SM-G928F using proboards Jack will not put a transfer request in this window. I’d put my left bollock on the line that he won’t.

You’ll all come round to it once the anger subsides. Think he can actually do a job for us.

No. I just cant do it. If the board wanted to get the 12th man behind the team, they should not have inflicted this on the team and fans. They did this knowing it was going to be unpopular and did it anyway. Complete disregard for the club and the fans. The board deserve everything they will get which will possibly be the Championship football and a massive fall off in season ticket sales (even if we stay up). Not a good business decision, in fact it is madness. Ambition!!!! Don’t go then pal (goodbye)

Hoping this means he can hit the ground running based on this. Get straight into the market for a couple of midfielders and a winger.

Come on Stoke fans, show your worth.
I am as bitterly disappointed that we seem to have ended up at our plan Z, desperation candidate as you are but it’s happened now, can’t cry over spilt milk.
We’ve got to get behind the man and the team now and show them we’re behind them no matter what.
It’s not Lamberts fault that he was chosen and you can’t blame him for applying for the job. We’ve got someone who’ll be committed to the cause who’s going to be out to prove us all wrong. Get behind the man and see what happens.
You can throw your bile at Peter Coates and Co for letting it get to this but not Lambert. At the very least he will organise us and he can’t be worse than Hughes.
Go on Stoke, City ‘til I die.

Absolutely delighted with this appointment. One in the eye for all the cocky folk on here and twitter who thought stoke would just nip in and take Rowett. So now you must have had plenty of rejections to get Lambert which to me shows Stoke City for what they really are! Enjoy it. Somebody ban this cunt.

Who caused this panic in the first place? The likes of you nott1 and the board members who showed a blind devotion to mark hughes rather than caring about the football club. You should be hanging your head in shame I actually agree with you GreaterGlasgowstokie.

In all seriousness, we’ve got to go and get someone from Europe now haven’t we? The available options in England are all terrible. We’re a certainty for relegation under Lambert so may as well go and get someone with top experience in Europe. Common sense certainly would be doing exactly what you've suggested. But our owners over the last week have shown they don't have common sense I’m hoping John Coates can fight his case and we pull a rabbit out of the hat. Seems unlikely I know but there’s many out there.

I just watched a Roy Keane interview on YouTube to try and bring myself round to the whole Keane, O’Neill idea. He’s even more of a miserable arrogant tit than I thought. He just doesn't like the press and media. All managers inside are thinking 'fuck rate off' to journalists, Keane makes it well known. He must think they are all dickheads, which they are He’s just a tit, miserable fucker.

Clayton Wood was illuminated (lights on inside too) when I drove past about half an hour ago. Probably the norm.
