I have just seen on Facebook a post from our player Bojan wishing Mainz the best of luck and what looks like he is there to watch them play,
Has he or any of our other on loan players tweeted or Facebook posted good luck messages as we try to stave off relegation, have any of the on loan players come back to watch and support their team mates in this shit shower of a season.
It may be me making mountains out of mole hills or missing the times that Bojan has been back or has wished us luck but some thing seems strange to praise and watch Mainz rather than his parent club who are no doubt paying the majority of his wages

To be brutally honest: Everton Away - created nothing. Arsenal Home - got battered, very lucky to get a win. West Brom Away - draw fair result. Man Utd Home - got battered, lucky to get a point. Everton Away - Both teams were dreadful. no-one could've complained at a 0-0. Arsenal Home - Got battered, fought for a win, needed some luck for it. WBA Away - They never looked like doing anything at all, they barely came near our goal, we should've won. Man Utd Home - We matched them and more in that game, honestly don't think we were lucky to get the draw at all. Don't know what game you watched when we played west Brom but it was not the game I watched,we looked anything but a winning team and the only reason we scored was because they fucked up big time to give crouch a gift of a goal. And Man u....forget it I give up

I can’t believe Swansea aren’t in deeper trouble. I can, they took a look at results and league positions and decided bottom of the league and four points adrift is possibbly not a good place to be, they then took a descion that if we want to improve on this we need to give a new manager as much time as we possibly can to spot the problems and hopefully address them to improve us, under the new leadership they then went on to beat a couple of the top 6 and make the liberty "fortress liberty" with their home form now virtually guaranteeing them prem survival But over in the clueless inept fancy Dan player ruled enclave of stoke city fc.... A stubborn and bumbling owners only answer to the problems was to bury his head in board room sand of ineptitude and mutter "whats all the fuss about" as he dribbled down his best suit, he then decided that the best option was to wait and see if Hughes could turn it around based on the managers biggest plus point of we do not give a fuck about July to December as "we are always slow starters and always play better second half the season", and was only forced in to a decision when a team that were in a campaign of relegation with our nearest neighbours gave us a lesson in cup football to possibly get him to notice what the fuck "all the fuss was about"... But oh no let's pull our fingers out, with a little more planning we can put operation cluster fuck in to full swing, Let us amplify the problems within the club for the whole world to see why an earth should we keep this all to ourselves when we can let the whole footballing world have a giggle at our expense, let us compound the chaos with 3 weeks of utter embaressment by going on a spanish two week crusade and being turned down very publicly along with the details of a five year plan chasing a currently employed Spanish manager ......lets make us look like a team of league stature comparible to Hanley Town and not a team in Europe's richest platform of pro football, yet this embarrassment was not enough for our board room why the fuck should it be, oh no this is a season to surpass all others on the cringe-odometer, let's go all guns blazing and see if we can surpass this current level of supporter hurt, lets now forget about this spanish offer and a 5 year plan and lets push the boat out for an aging football dinosaur in Martin O'Neill and let him publically turn us down based on what ever the new plan may have been presented after our previous and media reported 5 year option... Then the cherry on the cake, What is the cheapest option we can come up with to salvage this mess and make everyone in the football world raise their eyebrows and in unison mutter"what the fucking hell, I didn't see that coming", who can we find on minimum wage to help us stay on the £100 plus million gravy train, I know let's go for Paul Lambert, "but what's he ever achieved in the prem" we all whispered as we waited for hope and salvation, it didn't matter though, the board assured us he had done his home work, he knew all our players names at the interview in fact the scfc page in Pauls pannini sticker collection was the first team that he wanted to complete AND he was British so he fits our only criteria...other than when we wanted a Spanish manager of course...but he was still 5 stickers short on his scfc pannini sticker book so that would never have worked out, So here we are, realistically most level headed supporters knew that we were all but mathematically relegated after the Everton game, 6 wins all season with Lambo picking up 1 win yet needing a minimum of 3 wins from 5 and hoping a team somewhere fuck up, a goal differance befitting an under 7's 5 aside team yet here we are holding on to a hope of salvation from the gravity crocodile based on blind loyalty inspired by losing to a team at home but not conceding the usual 4 goals and hoping points will come with the crowd staying on side...even though as a team we are not good enough Yeah I'm struggling to see why Swansea are not in more of a mess ....... when they have outfits like Stokes board room giving a little bit of assistance with the pressure of our great escape plan.

My view is a massive yes and that ranges from the owners, players and staff of the football club itself right down to the supporters and heres why.... The owners, Money is obviously going to quickly dry up with the tv gravy train being cut and the boardroom kudos disapering from being part of footballs elite, all of a sudden we are cast amongst the football wilderness of once big clubs who have all themselves been relegated but will carry more of an interest media wise with more exposure than little old SCFC, the likes of Brum, Derby, forest, Leeds, both Sheffield clubs and Villa being prime examples. The players Obviously most of our "glamour" (and I say that loosely) signings will disapear, everyone is currently dicussing who will leave yet no one is yet giving any proposal of who will be an asset, who will be willing to stay and fight for a decent campaign, who out of the discarded squad players will relish fighting to become the "stars" of lower league SCFC, Grant, Shawcross Whimmer Pieters Johnson Fletcher Cameron Diouf Berahino Indi Choupo Mouting Ireland Edwards Campbell Not very inspiring and I am not 100% half of these will want to be here, I have not listed people that I think will move on such as Bauer, staffy, Ndiaye and Adam Results and bouncing back Blackburn Rovers, luton town, Burton albion, Sheff united, Wolves, Bristol City, coventry.....need I say more! Staff Just how many people will now loose their jobs due to relegation, I have good friends in the community teams who now fear for their jobs once the relegation axe falls, This could eventually run in to 100s depending on what the next 2 to 3 years brings, if attendances start to fall what about match day stewards, gate staff, ticket and merchandise staff, there is currently a lot of doom and gloom behind the big polished gates of scfc towers. Fans A few people will get a rude awakening in this league, gone will be the sterile safe for tourists premiership bubble and all the resources thrown at it, no more strutting about towns and cities willy nilly drinking side by side in the safety of premier league back slapping, it will be 10 years since we faced most of these teams and that is how most of them will see us, they will not know how our supports demographics has changed from the stoneisland wearing hoard of gritty manual labour types to the scarfe wearing call centre husband who know takes his wife and kids, look what happened last time Wolves were in town, look what happened the last Sheff Wednesday were in town, there will be a lot of teams still looking at Stoke as the scalp they want to take type team from 10 years ago, Leeds, Cardiff, Borough, sheff united, Sheff Wed, Millwall, QPR, Birmingham, Villa, Bolton, Barnsley all gritty working class areas that will be looking at our fixture home and away with asperations of a score to settle, there is a whole generation of chavvy wannabes that have never known what it is like to be old style SCFC a target for the hooli gangs up and down the English lower leagues, if you are under the age of 25 you will not have a clue about Stoke of old.....other than listening to the stories and legends told of the old days with a little bit of embellishment All reasonable points, but one to add; how many fans will stay the course? Will you be r3newing your season ticket? NOT A CHANCE!!! Stay up or go down it will be on pay as you go for me next year picking and choosing, it will be really easy with plenty of tickets available when required after these last two and half years of shite so why bother especially easy if we go down.....the season after will be even easier for tickets if we fail to bounce straight back and on it will go so there is no need for me.

To be fair to Stoke and Lambert we did play well yesterday and a draw would have been fair but......
It is not these types of games that should define our season, it is the games against bang average teams around us that ARE 6 pointers that we have allowed to slip through our fingers, our season was as good as over come the end of December when we should have had more points and less goals against, Damn you Mark Hughes

Read it twice then put it in the bin with all the other junk mail.
Read it the second time as I thought that I had missed the line that went along the lines of
"And a thank you has to go out to all the supporters that pointed out that we were knee deep in shit and we needed to replace Mark Hughes whilst myself and all the other board members slapped each other's backs whilst wondering what all the fuss was about", thank you
Oo and whilst I am here buy a season ticket the money's drying up and I need a new helicopter as the lease is up on this tatty old one

While the optimist in me still hopes for a miracle and we somehow retain our Premier League status, reality of what we are seeing on the pitch and our total lack of ability to score goals which is the only way we can survive says we are going down and the future is uncertain My bigger concerns are the noises coming out of the club that performances are acceptable and it’s merely misfortune that is sending us down. I have accepted relegation only because it’s easier on the stress levels and being stressed after you reach 50 plus isn’t so good for you. That doesn’t mean I don’t foolishly hope for a miracle between now and Swansea. Rant over. Great post and my sentiments exactly....although you write it up better than I ever could, i suppose that's the education system for you...or the lack of it maybe on my part. I have differ on one point you make though, under Hughes the first two years were great, the rest of the time was nothing short of boring tippy tappy sideways go no where put pins in your eyes type of football, unfortunately for us his league finish papered over the cracks and on he marched. Great post and well presented to make a good sunday morning read

He's been like a different keeper post-injury. Bang average. Hopefully he gets back to his previous level, but this season has been the worst I can remember from a Stoke keeper in the Premier League - the only one that's comparable is maybe Begovic's last season. But Jack has been worse than that this year. It'll be interesting to see if a big club is really prepared to put down crazy money for him. And if they don't, then what? You'd think that money is forming a big part of our rebuilding fund. Of course they will, you only have to be part of the England set up to be valued, skill and application have nothing to do with it....ask Danny Rose

Got to be honest on this one.....as controversial as it maybe
Butland has been woeful since his return from injury with the amount of howlers that he has introduced in to his game, the amount of arguments that we have in our group over his performances of late overshadow any other players in the squad, the counter argument usually bring up his good saves but in all fairness ......thats his fucking job, he is not a forward asked to cover a goalkeeper being sent off he is supposed to actually save the ball if the moment arises. As good as Grant was between the sticks he was never going to play when Butland was fit and Grant knew this when he signed, the problem is Butland and Grant are or at least were on par when you consider Grants heroics and Butlands current form.
Would I pick Butland or Grant, it would be Butland every time even if it is for the sake of having a stoke keeper at the world cup, would Grant or any of the other keepers do any better....over a season I very much doubt it with the defensive set up and nouse of Hughes and co.
My personal favourite of Butlands new moves that he has introduced in to his repertoire is his "twinkle twinkle Im a fuck off massive star" style leap in to the air, he realises he has fucked up and stuck in no mans land but tries to make himself as big as possible even though he has not got a clue where the flight of the balls current trajectory is taking it, he tried the same move for England the other week and luckily for Butland the ball missed the target and saved him any embarrassment, unfortunately for Stoke he has not had so much luck and has cost us points with this discoesque style dance move that seems to be his current favourite, my second favourite new move he has bought in to his game is his volleyball serve punch out when it would be safer and easier to catch and hold the ball, he pulled this off yesterday against spurs when in all fairness it would have been easier to catch it rather than "serve" it back on to the edge of the penalty area.
Oh well, not long left to have to suffer this continual cannon fodder existance picking up crumbs at the masters table in exchange for tv millions.

Hughes goes two up front. The absolute throbber hardly ever did that with us, largely due to the shambles of a squad he assembled not allowing for it. He's now walked into a club with two good strikers, so he can gamble a bit. Hope his new team get absolutely thrashed, and Arnie taunts the fuck out of him. Looks like you're going to get your wish. To be honest I wish nothing but shit on Hughes for the rest of his managerial career, he's the main reason we're in the mess we're in, the useless twat. Nah!!! I agree he was a massive part of operation cluster fuck but the majority of the fault lies firmly and squarely with the Coates fammily, they appointed Cartright and Scholes and went along with all the half baked ideas whilst Rome burnt, they then gave Hughes and co far too long in the hot seat as Rome continued to burn His legacy will always be tainted with the shit storm he has created over the last two and half years, 7 and half years of stability and sense ruined by 2 and half years of complete fuckwittery What's all the fuss about now Mr Coates

Do you really support Stoke City or are your opinions worth more to you ??? Don't really give a f u c k what all the pessimists say - it's not over till the fat lady sings ( yes I'm p I s s e d off ) but i'll continue to support the players we have got cuz atm they are Stoke City - so why not just for the last matches get behind the 'underdogs - cuz that's what we are and that's what we were for the 1st five or so premier league seasons' ( Or have Stoke fans forgot what it's like to be Stoke - too many getting used to 'prawn sandwiches' and that we have a right to be premiership - this apart from Arnie (which 90% told him to f u c k right off is probably the best squad we've had since being here) yet loads are saying won't even cope in the championship FFs .... Yes - mistakes have been made big time - but when do supporters abandon Stoke just cuz they are in the S H I T ..... Everyone needs to support Stoke and get behind them now - which is probably the most important time in the modern history of Stoke City Football Club ..... Fuck me the schools have finished early for the Easter breaks have they

Where are these folk that called everybody knickers wetters? Right here, basking in the glory of being right once again. I asked who would replace Hughes if he was sacked and was not once given a viable candidate WHO WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE JOB. Here we are doomed to relegation after a catastrophic appointment by a board of directors who know NOTHING about modern day football. We all know why the most vehement anti Hughes posters wanted him gone... it was a desperate false hope of welcoming back their hero. Fuck all to do with Hughes, Coates, Scholes and Cartwright and the cluster fuck they have overseen. We would have had more chance of staying up under Hughes - yes, we might have got tonked a couple of times but we would have won the games we needed to. IMHO Well strangely enough the stats of this season would say that is complete and utter bollocks....but we will never know will we To be honest I always thought that if we had kept Boskamp he would have taken us on progressive promotions year on year until we hit the prem, i thought that he would win us the league an fa cups and the charity sheild, i was positive given a few more years he would lead us to the top of the prem and on to chamions league glory for the next 5 years.... God this reading the futures a piece of piss

The only positive under Lambert is we are not getting dicked week in week out, we have reverted back to the old binary seasons of old.
Lambert should not be here but it's not his fault that's down to running the club like a second hand car lot with as much for sight as captain Smith on the titanic, he has done his best with the tools he had but it was not good enough, saying that even if we had flora from Spain I struggle to see he had enough to work with to save us but we will never know

Season ticket sales alone will be around 19k I reckon stoke will still get 24 to 28 this comming year Next year if no playoffs 22 to 25 Third year if no positives 18 to 22 If no positives after that the jcl will all fuck off and they will be down to the 15 to 20 based on success but it will take 4byears to get to this point

Yesterday left me feeling as flat as I have been for many years following us ...it was an Aston Villa moment as I walked away in both manner and performance, thankfully we had 7 more points in us that season whereas we haven’t got a goal in us to get them ...I’m so fucking angry with that team selection Our last 9 games have seen 7 of them v teams in our sights and we’ve not done enough to win any of them...my god I’ve watched some shite teams but given our status and all things in reality for cost of the squad, the level we are/we’re playing at etc it’s the worst and most talentless I can remember...even that shite in 84/85 had Ian painter who could get an occasional goal Where the fuck do we go from here ? Fucking hell buddy it must be bad We have been mates for 40 years and I have never known you to be so down with Stoke, you have defended them to the point of being the only person in a very large group to defend them and took the shit off everyone else for doing so, you invented the red and white spectacles This post from you just reassures me in how bad I feel about this shower of shit, we have been fucked over from every level of the club and the future in the lower leagues is bleak

Why would we be pleased with ourselves? Seeing it coming makes it worse. It was so damn easy avoid. To be fair, I don't believe anyone saw just how badly we have crumbled. Even the most cynical fucker couldn't have seen this shit show. However, you're right that it's clear we have atrophied and considering we finished 16th last season there were big warning signs. Sorry metal, i saw the writing was on the wall over two years ago and I have continually tried to be balanced in my views but became more vocal over the last 12 months, losing to burton pre season, wolves and hull exits in the cups should have set more peoples alarm bells ringing And trust me I take no pride in a told you so type of post, this predicament hurts like fuck. If we had got relegated via bad luck I would take it on the chin but 6 wins in a full season is nothing short of a disgrace and an embarrassment to a pro footy team, combine that with cup exits at the hands of low league clubs compounds the suffering

I thought, considering it was 10 v 11 for most of the game I thought we battled well and were unlucky to lose WHAT!!! You have got to be having a laugh, Everton have lost their last 6 aways and made us look what we are.....relegation fodder, we were shocking. The red card was never a red especially in the conditions but should Adam have been on the pitch in the first place, no, bad call Johnson did not play to bad but should Johnson have been on the pitch from the start, No bad call loved Ramadan last season but sorry just not his game today, Butland England's no 1....i give up. We got exactly what we deserved today, no bad luck, no ref to blame we have had exactly what we deservered all season, and you know what it should have been worse they missed some sitters What's all the fuss about now then

You have 9 yrs on me but in all honesty you talk like a 19 year old, if you are 61 you already know the answer to your question and you already know that if the side are disinterested, unorganised and fragile no level of encouragement will get them over the line.

2 /10 --- culpable failure across the club, top to bottom from the lap of honor around and empty ground last May which was a surreal as it was bizarre ( to those who witnessed it) to, our next sighting of Hughes in the Coates Family Corprate box at Ascot (when he should've been given the sack right there and then) to, an utterly bizzarre series of transfers ( Bruno Martins Indi THEN Kevin Wimmer ????? £18m ---- WTF) who was involved ?? what were they thinking ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? to, persisting with ridiculous tactics and formations using completely unsuitable players and bonkers substitutions to, a chronic lack of foresight - Procrastination in the board room, to take the hard decision at the right time - leaving it far, far too late and the sheer stupidity, joylessness, truly bizarre, delusional rantings and breathtaking arrogance of the outgoing manager (whose better than me to sort this out !!!!!!!!!! -- WTF) ( joyless arrogant cock !) To, our new manager continuing to pick his truly 'useless to a man' Scottish buddies ( I just cant work this one out either) culpable failure from top to bottom and it continues -- e.g. why no Ramadan ???? and the 'Premier league lite' approach i.e. doing it on the cheap - continues toward its inevitable conclusion And surprisigly, coming form all this - the only player having had a shaky start / and middle coming out of this with any real credit this season Xerdan Shaquiri - he at least can say, he did his best for most of this time around but all in all , its been fucking disasterous and ten year hard work wiped form the record books in less than 12 months due to rank bad management and - if we avoid relegation after this most painful debacle, I for one - will be fucking amazed and finally - just one man at the club saw this coming - and his name is Marko Arnautovic - who deserves no more stick - just fond memories of how good he was for us ( sadly departed) I take my hat off sir, brilliant post and absolutely bang on the fucking money Some on here...and I include myself, have been saying exactly the same and that the writing was on the wall for close on two years . Chaos at every level of the club, fucking Chaos

I touched on this a month or so ago, but the whole decision structure has very little empathy, appreciation or respect for the true fan base. There is a total disconnect between the club and the supporters and whilst I don't dispute there would have been legal issues in the background that would have impacted time frames, the simple fact is they NEW BETTER. I'm OK with that to a point - ultimately that is what they are paid to do - but as in all walks of life (well correction MOST walks of life) you have to be accountable. Coates (Senior) comments have been classed as deluded, senile etc but in the cold light of day he was wrong, almost petulant in his dismissal of the reality the fans could see. Scholes hides behind a forced grin, is toothless, spineless and incapable of standing in the spot light - something that is part of his job - yet he continually sends a manager to the wolves to get shredded by the press and media. Coates (Junior) and Cartwright are just patsy YES men who shouldn't be anywhere near the club, in reality they wouldn't be anywhere near these positions in any other top flight club. So the question I ask my self, is why after all this time do we not hold these decisions makers to account? We berate the players and managers (and God knows they deserve it) but these cretins in their £2000 suits getting chauffeured in Bentleys go home under very little, if any, pressure. They have failed, they were wrong and they are about to devalue their operating company by the tune of 100 million a year - not many people keep a job after a failure like that! I share your anger mate, but this isn't a normal job. It's more like North Korea in that its a family business run entirely according to the whim of the head of the family. As the supporters only contribute 7% of the club's income, we don't really matter when it comes to the big picture - and, unfortunately, the supporters are not, and never will be, in a position to hold anyone to account. We choose whether or not to suck it up. Some will lose patience and stop going, the rest of us will shrug our shoulders and turn up as usual. But we can't force the owners (or Scholes) to do anything. That's just the way it is. Might only be 7% of the clubs income this year but that % will increase massively year on year when the gravy train runs out from the premier league coffers and we resort back to self generated income, it is easy to attract fans to watch Stoke when under the Premier league banner or when we are successful, lets us see how easy they attract fans if Stoke go down and stay down. Could not run a bukakee party at a brothel this bunch, over £100 million a year in to the club and they fuck it up, lets see how they do it in the lower leagues on 43p and a curled up bus ticket....self sufficiency my arse.

Would it be available for UK fans if they had a vpn? I think it would! And how would you go about paying for it? paypal?
