I hink it is us. Forget size for a minute, given our history and that fact we've had some of England's greatest ever pleyers, 1 league cup in criminal really.

Most seasons in the top flight: www.myfootballfacts.com/england_footy/football-league/seasons-in-top-flight/Based on that, you could say Stoke are the 'biggest' club not to have won the FA Cup. The second table also shows we had a good run in the Premier League. And this is an interesting fact to goad Arsenal fans with... "Arsenal were “elected” to the Top Flight in season 1919-20. They remain the only club since the formation of the Football League in 1888-89 who never earned their place on merit." Shame really, had we not fucked up such a strong position we'd be nearly 15th on that table. Given the top 9 are uncatchable Would put us firmly in best of the rest positions.

Tranmere away, battered 3-0, not guts, no skill, no anything. Crewe away, lost 1-0 when trying avoid relgation.
Not sure why they stick in my head though. I get more disenchanted than angry.

Eddie Howe will go back he resigned when relegated he thought prem clubs would beat a path to his door to manage them and it hasnt happened, he will go back, again.... Yep, he'll ride in on his white horse, like he had nothing to do with relgation etc. With his smug 'here comes the savior' face on.

If Burnley have offered 4.5 million it doesn't matter about FFP. That's so insulting we shouldn't be doing any business with them After the dealings we have had with them we should refuse to deal with them ever again, not sure I will ever get my head around £9m for Sam fcuking Vokes it's criminal. I agree with you but we can only blame ourselves, 9m for Vokes! Think of all the good you could do with 9m and we blew that on that donkey!

Weather warning for heavy rain in South Yorkshire. Reminds me of the time Sheffield Wednesday were trying to sign Kanu. HudsonGod! Contender for best ever Oatcake thread!

Dunna remind me mate, I had forgot about that until last night. The thought of losing not just our best player but one of the best in the league is mega pissing me off It looked to me like his lower leg twisted inwards when he slipped and he was definitely rubbing the outside of his knee. From my experience of numerous knee ligament injuries it's normally the other way round and it's the ligaments on the inside of the knee that open up. I have no medical knowledge at all and this may be equally as bad, I'm just clutching at straws. Anyone see him leave the ground afterwards? Not for me, 16mm tear in my Medial ligament, all pain on outside of knee, out for about 12-18 months, don't think I've ever recovered.

I love TP but we owe him a stuffing, so hope I'm wrong with a tight 1-2 win

What's happened with Liverpool's tops? Looks like they're on back to front. I hate seeing Nike in football too.

Worry about the squad 1 If we do get promoted 2 When we'd have 100 million in bank and FFP won't matter in prem for first few years minimum

Would you want to go up with the squad as it is? Errr, YES! Let the 100 odd million take care of the squad! And if we come back down, 2 parachute payments help repair damage of last 2 idiots!

Whilst I think his finishing is poor (and we were warned), I think he adds quite a lot.
No point having to 2 up front with no link up, that's what he's there for, and to score a few obviously, which he has.
He earned his spot, let others remove him by taking their chance when it comes along.

As long as we won I woudn't give a monkey's. Used to love watching playoffs, too cagey for me now. I'll take anything, but don't think I'd enjoy going anyway. Brentford at Cardiff was bad enough!

It's if he's up for it perhaps?
I saw him Derby v Boro few years ago he was immense, they doubled up on him, made no difference.

Rob Huth told me he was a fucking idiot or words to that effect, but what a player what a player!( my words not huth's) he said he was very good.
Best player I've seen sheild a ball.
He was a knob, we may all have varying degrees of hate towards him but if he came back tommorow!!!!!

A little pessimistic But there was a discussion had last year where all chairmen place the clubs into voluntary administration which would help in some way but it relies on everybody being straight with it and not poaching players etc Somebody much more educated will explain it I’m sure Not an option that the Stoke board would want to pursue, because it would bankrupt a lot of small local firms that supply goods and services to football clubs. I agree, but leicester did it(albiet not on mass as suggested above). Couldn't afford their 30m stadium, then look what happened!! Rather than struggle for years trying to repay. Final 5.5m written off, even £16k to Ambulance service. I know someone that lost their whole business because of it. CNUTS!
