Anyone think it is a good idea that the club give Wembley priority to fans attending the sunday game? (If we win)

Hope fans turn out and make some noise on Sunday and make the Brit as hostile as possible for West Sham.

I am a Stoke City supporter living in Sweden. 2 weeks ago I was in London. Saw the Fulham – Stoke game with my brother, 2 daughters and daughter’s Swedish friend (who was watching a game for the first time in her life). We arrived rather late to the game and found our seats close to the pitch behind the goal. Irrespective of the result/performance, I (along with others) personally experienced an awful and uncomfortable experience throughout the game. So-called Stoke supporters (all with London accents, but not bearing colours) decided to ruin many people’s day-out. They were several in numbers and all they did the whole game was insult, threaten and provoke innocent bystanders, whether it be Stoke supporters, Fulham supporters, neutral supporters or stewards. They racially abused the stewards throughout the game as well as the Fulham players with a different colour of skin or of Irish descent. When my frightened/shocked daughters moved a few seats away, I joined them. The oldest of the “clan” (ringleader?) then turned to me and hurled abuse at me. All forms of normal conversation explaining our dislike to their threatening behaviour were impossible. We were then informed that as this man had only missed 7 Stoke matches in many years, this apparently gave him the right to do/say whatever he wanted. Apparently, we didn’t sound like Stoke fans, so it was best I shut up or move far away (obviously not stated in just those words). Quite amazingly this man’s wife/partner was sitting next to him. During the second half, they stood up blocking our view, often with their back to the pitch, pointing to Fulham supporters giving threatening gestures. If tourists were spotted, they would be also picked-on, claiming they had no right to be in a football ground, etc. etc. I can continue and continue but I´m sure you get the picture. I am a huge Stoke fan and put a lot of time and effort running the Swedish website, but after the events we experienced on that Saturday I just feel like giving up. I have never hated watching a football game so much, I longed for the end; in fact I can´t remember much about it as I was so upset/disappointed. I don’t consider myself a prude or a snob. I can swear and show passion with the best of them. I really appreciate the British passion and humour at football matches, but the experiences I saw and heard on Saturday we ridiculous. I realise these events aren’t only an English or a Stoke problem. There were many tourists in the stand and I just wonder what they thought; in fact 2 New Zealanders behind me whispered in my ear, “Is this the best of British mate?” When we walked out, my oldest daughters said, “Because of them, I’m glad they lost”. I said I totally agree with you. But perhaps the saddest thing was that at the end of the game, the ringleader ran down to the edge of the pitch, whereupon Jermaine Pennant came up to him and gave him his shirt/bib. We were amazed; this was a man who had racially abused person´s of darker skins the whole game. Is Jermaine aware of what these people think about people of mixed race? I spoke to my daughters and their friend (19, 19 and 21) at length after the game and they were amazed that such behaviour can be tolerated. These guys were not young; how do they bring-up their own offspring? If this behaviour is not tolerated in other forms of life, why should it be tolerated at football matches? I read later on the night, quite rightly, how the British commentators were suspended after sexist remarks concerning a female linesman. Surely if this is highlighted for the better of the game so should the people who ruin other people’s enjoyment. It has to be remembered; the whole experience cost me and others a fair amount of money. Sorry to hear about this i`m sure the supporters in the South Stand would welcome you.

Tuncay did not meet Pulis's standards- he could actually play football. We are far better off with Jones and Carew whose sole purpose is to run around the pitch like chickens with their heads cut off. Sadly this style seems to have rubbed off on Fuller too. Only 4 points from the drop now - Pulis's bush league type of play will land us back in the championship sooner than later. Jones run ?

I know that everyone is pissed and worried about the pathetically terrible all around performance this match, but do you honestly think we will be relegated? Everyone needs to quit being so over the top negative. They played like crap but they are obviously not gonna play like that every game for the rest of the year. The chance of relegation is slim to none. It's not gonna happen. I like a bit of positivity !! hope it spreads

I like Sunderland as a club as i think they have come along way from being a Yo Yo club promoted and relegated nearly every season. But their fans are full of shit!! We deserved the win.

I am utterly gob smacked at what I am about to post here but here goes... My old man wasn't at the game today as he is on his hols so I asked a mate who usually sits with his lad in the family stand but today sat with me n his missus went n sat with his lad. Anyway after a great win for the Potters on 87 mins my mate says to me I'm off pal to meet my mrs n lad n get the bus back in to Stoke as we came separately, anyway when I leave the game at the end I see my mate in the concourse covered in blood, I was shocked n thought he may of fell over but what he told me sickened me to the stomach. He got to the bottom of the steps of a certain block and as people do before they leave he had one last look at the bottom before heading out to meet his family, there were loads stood there as per and this one chap in his seat said to my mate "oy your in my fucking way", to which my mate replied "well I ain't the only one pal n I'm off in a sec". To which the guy got up and proceeded to kick the shit out of my mate along with three other lads who jumped in too, one bit yes bit like an animal through his thumb whilst the others thumped, butted and mauled my mate all because he was stood in his way for two seconds, to do this to anyone let alone a fellow fan is utter scum, call yourself Stoke fans, got the seat numbers n witnesses details but what was astonishing was there was no stewards or coppers in sight but it has been reported, I hope you never get to watch a match again. His lad when we met them was in tears understandably but I was gob smacked and spoiled a good day. What is the need for this inhumane behaviour, I mean really. Shocked and utterly disappointed!!! Bloody animals !!!

Can I propose that the use of all animated pictures of any kind be banned from the board please? I'm sure that I am not alone in finding my laptop grinding to a halt when encountering the likes of wobbly tits and arses, is there any need for them? This is a football website and should be used as such - no, I am not a prude either, just fed up of things being slowed down so much when trying to keep up with a busy thread such as the New Signings thread. I am aware that I can alter my profile to stop me viewing pictures but some still pictures are interesting and football related and I would like to be able to see them. Your comments please Admin - Oh and I'll wait for the barrage of abuse from some users can we also halt the use of sexual swear words ;D
