Result is probably a good one. The last thing we need to be doing is going into a game like next weeks thinking we are the dogs proverbials. In reality Rotherham at home is about as bad an opening fixture as we could have got. It really is. They’ll be expectation, but they’ll play a lot like Everton. A turgid affair where we’ll need to prise them open, but will more than likely struggle. This may be an outlandish view, but I think our opening fixtures are quite favourable 🤷♂️.... And I think we'll beat Rotherham AND Ipswich. Can't remember who's after that? But with some momentum, beat them aswell. The transfers we've made look really well thought out. I cannot wait for next Saturday 💪.

I seem to remember Carl Asaba coming in as part of a triple threat, though I can't remember who the other two were. Maybe Gifton? I know we pummelled Derby 3-0 the next day though. Russell and Andrews. Ahh yes, so it was.

Sod 2 in a day, when was the last time we had 3 holding the shirt up? the bloke who has the responsibility of creating the announcement videos has been up all night bless him.

my mate an Everton supporter reckons they are after him also says Cannon would be a good signing for us Cannon sounds good. Especially if we can get him firing. Good with a ball

And there’s time yet to sign them. What matters is what we look like at the start of September. so the 5 games in August are irrelevant then , we could lose them all without new players that are used to playing with each other Or we could win them all.... or draw some, or win a few draw a few, and lose a few. We can beat Rotherham and Ipswich, for the first two,can't remember who we play after that? Beat them too..... try and keep your pants dry mate.

7th.
Just missing out but showing lots of promise. It's a much tougher league this season with at least 6 or 7 decent sides.

If you think Bonham is the worst keeper ever then you have not been watching Stoke very long . Those of us long in the tooth can remember Marshall Southall Corrigan Pressman Gregg Hoult but to name a few . Most of those were well past their sell by date when they joined us . The worst keeper - given he played for England - was Bursik . Most over rated keeper of all time and yes Bonham was better than Bursik - somebody’s love child Don't forget Barry Sidall 🤦♂️

Is there any topic you won’t crowbar back to Alex Neil or Stoke, Benj? It’s a simple fsct and very rarely will you see me criticise the club off the field orvtte owners but Neil remains a huge issue When's your birthday benji? Maybe you could treat yourself to a new keyboard? The one you have must have about 15 keys missing?

Hate pens they’re brutal. Never fair. The playoffs should never be decided by penalties. In my opinion there is an obvious solution when a play off match finishes level - the team who finished higher in the league go up. At least today the right team went up. Imagine if Coventry had gone up on penalties having finished ten points behind. That would have been brutal on Luton I love penalties. I hate it when someone wins in extra time and deprives us all of penalties 😩.

I see nothing in Bursik to think he will get anywhere near the top. Any shot near to the corner he cant seem to reach or stop. Unless he is going to grow 4 more inches or have some springs implanted into his legs he will never save those shots. We should get rid of him otherwise it will become Butland all over again. Maybe if he starts afresh at a lower league he might get some confidence, but it will not happen while he is at Stoke. Totally agree. He's simply not very good. It's a shame, but that's that.

A lot of chat about the Morecambe game so thought I'd have a look to see how we've faired in cup competitions under Michael. Since then: 19/20 FA Cup - Brentford (ch) Loss 20/21 League Cup - Blackpool (L1) Win, Wolves (PL) win, Gillingham (L1) Win, Aston Villa (PL) win, Spurs (PL) loss 20/21 FA Cup - Leicester City (PL) loss 21/22 League Cup - Fleetwood (L1) Win, Doncaster (L1) Win, Watford (PL) win, Brentford (PL) loss 21/22 FA Cup - Leyton Orient (L2) win, Wigan (L1) Win, Crystal Palace (PL) loss So I make that: PL - 3 wins, 4 losses Championship - 1 loss League One - 5 wins 1 draw League Two - 1 win 9 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw. (Nearly half games against PL opposition) Before Tuesday the last time we were knocked out by lower league opposition was: Nathan Jones - League Cup v League 2 Crawley (19/20) Gary Rowett - FA Cup v League 1 Shrewsbury (18/19) Mark Hughes - FA Cup v League 2 Coventry (17/18) Mark Hughes - League Cup v championship Bristol City (17/18) Youd nearly think that O'Neil has made a habit of losing to lower league opposition in the cup reading on here. I hope we can keep you as a stokie gawa whenever it may be that Michael moves on. I really hope he succeeds and I really like his personality. And I enjoy reading your posts and pretty much agree with what you have to say. Yeah, just hope the stoke bug has bitten you mate. 👍
