Let down with a formation and tactics that do not suit any of the players in this team.
Totally inept keeping, amateur defending, clueless midfield and a toothless forward line.
O'Neil is totally out of his depth, he has one idea and is clueless how to change his mind when required, I have never seen so many back passes to the keeper from the opposition half putting pressure on the defence and the keeper.
He reduced the width of the pitch to help us out, is there any rule that says we can not take another 20ft off to stop the opposition relentlessly getting around the back of us.
Sunderland were truly woeful but yet again we manage to make a dog and duck Sunday league level team look like Brazil.

On balance I think stoke are going to have a decent season, I know what you are thinking ........ but we have lost one, won one and drawn one and that for me suggests MON has a good balance, he seems to be making a good go of this season actually achieving every result scenario available to the team so far...I know we actually lost against Morecombe on pens but over the duration of play we drew the game and were unlucky to lose in the manner that we did in not scoring as many Pennos as Morecombe. Onwards and upwards, in MON we trust. Thanks Mrs. O'Neil. God bless you my child

Heard an interesting Covid tale over the weekend with a Stoke connection,
A friend of mine claims that he saw lorries delivering metal beds to the Bet365,
When I got told this I initially thought that the government were possibly copying Halifax FC and using the ground as a temporary body store during this crisis, after further conversations with others it turns out that they are fitting out the chill store artic trailers with them before moving the trailers to different parts of the country.
Dark times

They can cup their ears all they want when they win one, at the end of the day they have been in the bottom 3 all season, they have won 5 games all season, they have not been fit to wear the shirt most of the season so when they win let them enjoy themselves and do the ear cupping crap to show the crowd how lucky they are to be in the position that stoke now find themselves, I have a very strong feeling it is going to come back and haunt them very soon....
I think it was all a bit premature from the useless, overpaid, uninterested journeymen, they won at home by three goals in a very unconvincing performance against a shocking Luton Town, yep Luton fucking Town at home and they act like they have just sealed promotion, if history repeats itself they possibly may win the next match but the chances are they will lose yet again the next three, then hopefully as they troop off that pitch after another turgid display they will have the whole ground singing in unison...can you hear us now, your not fit to wear the shirt
5 wins from 21 games played and they cup an ear to fans that have stayed as loyal as them that went hull or turned up in cyclone fucking jeffery....class show boys, class show indeed, idiots.

The little magician did not even make the bench under this new manager, he must be so depressed with the way it's currently going, we can't get a win to save our lives and the best player sits in the stands
I have a good mate who is really close to the club and he says there has been a bust up behind the scenes and Bojan wants out, he says if he goes Muniesa will be looking to leave too.
Serves you right stoke, play him or sell him

Post by mozzer on Dec 9, 2019 23:29:28 GMT
Can not understand why MON refuses to play Bojan, we need a playmaker like him and now is his time to shine
He will do well against Luton and needs a run out, Please pick Bojan

Last year, on boxing day, teams had played 24games. We are 8pts after 12 - so exactly half way there. You are asking about getting 24pts in the next 12 - so that would be 32pts by game #24, which will be about then. Last year, Bristol City and Swansea both had 32pts after game #24, and were 12th and 13th respectively. So expect we'd be about there if we achieved that, middle or just below. (Don't forgot that over the last 10 seasons, the team that were bottom after 6 games have never finished above 18th, so its a very big ask!). being bottom at this point means nothing if as is looking this team clicks it's by far the best in this league and promotion is still very much on Jesus wept this message board never fails to deliver, oatcake dreamers at their best living their fantasy Roy of the rovers style story lines, we have won two games and already talk is back on for play offs and promotion, Win one more and we could be talking about future champions league contenders

Was recently talking to an old friend of mine from days gone by, you guys will know him as Tazi on here, Tazi is boxing mad and recons it is nailed on that stoke fan Nathan Heaney will be the next big thing in the boxing world and obviously coming from Stoke on trent, He asked me if I was interested in going see him fight as he is fighting at the Birmingham arena on the 30th of November on some Frank Warren BT sports show, Tazi says if anyone is interested in going contact Nathan Heaney through Facebook to get info on tickets and coach travel as loads are already going and coaches are filling up fast I watched the last fight on tinterweb when he fought at the kings hall and the atmosphere was amazing, all the Stoke lads were getting right behind him with Delilah ringing out around the hall it was some backing Fingers crossed the lad can succeed and put stoke on the map

Told you we need to give him more time, obviously our very astute finger on the pulse board of directors at the club also agree
Nathan says we have controlled the games, had more of the play, made more crosses but have been very unlucky.
Go Nathan

Could it be a possible scenario that Jones will be kept on if Hughton comes in as joint first team manager with Jones being joint but in theory assistant first team manager, they have both worked together previously and Jones could use it as a learning curve to further his education at this level, cheaper for Stoke and may suit Hughton. That gets Coates off the hook as a hiring and firing chairman, keeps Jones employed and to the outside world they are sharing the role like the muttley brothers at Hudders field although Hughton is in charge and Jones answers to him on first team matters and RECRUITMENT
That means we can ship the historically failing bulldog chops out and no more of his charismatic press conferences need to be witnessed

We were unlucky tonight, thought we got enough crosses in to win the game, I thought there was resilience in the way the team went about their tasks, we played with energy and a little more luck we would have won Give him more time he will sort this out 😉

There has been people on here, myself included who have been intimating that these problems existed within the club as far back as two years ago.....and to some extent they still do, yet the dicks on here were burying their head in the sand and calling people out because people would not give the exact specifics of the low life within the club or out their source's, Pejic was ridiculed for daring to mention underlying problems on his radio commentary, Lawrence was lauded as an attention seeking media whore for recently putting it on supporters radar, Charlie Adam was branded a tosser for spouting on talk shite, but now some of the truth is starting to come out and these rose tinted spectacle wearing knobs are in for a huge shock if as I suspect the right stories come out over time, if I was a pro footy player I would not want to be associated with the shower of shit that we had during this period of time. Remember the behind closed doors match against Brum where we had a warm up for Wilfred Bony, that is where he is talking about Imbula going off in a sulk because he did not get a pass that he thought he should of received, he then deciding that he was coming back on and no one said a fucking dickie they let him come and go as he pleased...during a game and it doesn't matter if it was behind closed doors it was a game of footy, I knew all about that incident and I also know a guest that was there at the time turned to Crouchy on the touch line and asked ..."what the fuck is he doing", crouchy shrugged his shoulders and said "oooh he always does it if things don't go his way".....plus a lot more that I wouldn't put on here out of respect for crouch who was 1 of the 8 model pros that he also talks about. Think back to all the photos that appeared on Instagram from a certain few with the same old faces appering in that group, think of a group of players that were virtually overnight shipped out of the club and some are still on our books at other clubs, think of long spells of unexplained injuries with players that were supposedly first team regulars, this was the time that some of the damage was starting to be repaired because we were rotten to the fucking core and players were being separated from the group in hope that we could gel as a team, hopefully some of the dressing room is getting back to where it should be but it was a split war zone of a dressing room not so long ago, names that thought they were bigger than the club that in all honesty were fucking shit week in week out and took our premier league status from us. Didn’t Charlie Adam essentially say Liam was chattin shite! That is what we thought he was aiming at and he could well have been doing so, I am a little bit out of the loop on recent goings on and I know the club have been working hard to rid the bad apples from the group, I think that Charlie's back lash was more so because the group are more united than previously and the main disruptions have left the club so he was possibly taking it personal as he was not a regular first team player at that point, no proof on that one just my thoughts.

Chances are it will happen mate but not from the likes of Lawrence, he will be getting the info from a source within the dressing room that he is mates with and will not want to put that source in the firing line, the best hope of all the shit coming out is from people like Johnson who witnessed it first hand but are retired now and not going to upset pals still there, Adam will possibly be the next to spill his guts and then possibly crouch and shawcross may give the insight, some of that team that was put together were complete shiesters mate. do you know who the 8 good pros would be Mozzer. I'm guessing at Butland, Ryan, Bardo, Glenn, Walters, Crouch, Allen, Erik (maybe), Johnson, Charlie. Bad apples would be Imbula, Berahino, Jese, Choupo-Moting, Affelay. Wouldn't know about Arnie, Shaq, Diouf, Wolly, Zouma, N'Dyia, Indi, Ramadan, Zonz. Does seem though that the British pro tends to be the glue that holds things together. Not far off to be honest, 8 pros spot on.....Cameron should be in one of your groups too 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Some of your wouldn't knows and some more names missed off too could be moved in to what would be deemed as bad apples within a club environment

Yes I did, as a matter of fact I honestly thought it would be worse than what it is as I thought we would get relegated this year too, luckily boring boy Rowett has ground enough draws out to make us safe, we are not out the woods just yet though as I can not see where the next win will come from but luckily the bottom three are that bad I don't think they will catch us....time will tell I actually feel sorry for NJ because he has walked in to a complete disaster zone, no one can say the club have not spent money but it's not been spent wisely and as long as the club persists with the current transfer team and structure we are royally fucked

Jones appointment is a joke history will show that he was picked as a cheap option to get fans off back to buy into the idea the club needs time to get rid of all the dross etc there by giving the board and idiots running club time he is out of his depth If we wanted cheap we wouldn't have paid another club for their manager, there were plenty of options without a club. Yep, just like we did with Lambert when our prem survival was hanging by a thread

I went today. On the journey home I asked myself was it worth it? And has it been worth it for the last 18 months? I am afraid the answer is no. The Players can't be arsed. So until they show the same effort as they did last week. I can't be arsed either. At my age I am not wasting my time watching that shit. And if it does not improve before May. I won't be renewing. So there maybe 2,501 missing next time. I have watched Stoke since 1963 and this is the most lacklustre, dispassionate and work shy team I have witnessed in that time. Great post and bang on correct, I was saying something similar in the boozer before yesterday's game, I was asked why I have not renewed my season ticket this year,I said I can't be arsed with them, I was then offered a free ticket and turned it down because again I could not be bothered, the group of lads I was with said fuck me Moz you have watched them for years and you have seen worse than this and still gone every week....and here was my answer The reason I can't be arsed is because they haven't been arsed for the last 3 years and still can't be arsed and the owners of the club are taking the piss, I went every week when we were shit and kept coming back for more for one reason and that reason was because the club were skint and could not compete with the bigger teams in the leagues so I knew there was no one to blame, we hoped we could drop on a cheap player who would turn in to a diamond like chamberlain,sheron or steino, players who needed a second chance or had a point to prove, this lot have no excuse, no excuse what so ever, we have just been relegated from one of if not the richest sporting set up in the world with a whimper, we have had a board of directors who knew we were at last chance saloon yet buried their heads in the sand and then went and employed Paul fucking Lambert as our saviour, a board who have sanctioned 3 of our most expensive players/flops ever and who now allow them to be plying their trade away from the team that bought in the flops, they have yet to make accountable the people whos decicion it was to even entertain these transfers, these transfers were not some sort of low cost gamble who we could stick in the reserves if they failed to make the grade, oh no, these were to be our star players and then we have the problem called Saido, we have a team of can't be arsed money merchants that think they should be playing in the premier league but can't cut it even at championship level, we have a back line that would struggle in a lads and dads league and the forwards couldnt hit a cows ass with a banjo, the best player on the pitch against Leeds was a player that was vilified by the supporters last year because half the morons watching him thought he had single handily got us relegated, does it get any lower. Nah I need a break away from them, hopefully my passion will return and I will be a season ticket holder again next year but so far no fire has yet been lit that makes me want to go up there and watch them.
