Porkin

I don't want to be negative just because we lost but for goodness sake, what on earth are we doing bringing on that great useless excuse for a footballer, Parkin,, when we had Gallagher on the bench. We should get Parkin loaned out ASAP to ensure he doesn't get on again. The guy is IMO completely useless and just not up to the standard required. I find it embarassing that a club aiming for the prem is relying on the likes of Parkin. He is Vale level standard at best. What on earth does Tony P see in this guy?

Did anyone see him on SSN walking off the pitch after the game!? The bloke was like a blimp!

Now, I'v tried to defend Parkin for a while - Even had his name on me shirt before the season started but he looked pathetically out of shape

Im sorry but I think its time to get rid Stoke

I can not comprehend that decision from Tone it just doesn't add up to me.

I agree...Parkin just isn't good enough for this level of football.His physical condition for a professional athlete is a joke.

doesnt seem to take anything seriously, fucked about in the warm up hitting bals here there and everywhere, fucked about at half time in his wooly hat, mainly kicking balls into the stands. hes starting to be a bit of a joke. his passing is piss poor and his control is a fucking joke. intresting watching MOC playing keepie uppies with Porkin and Salif right at thge start of the evning and MOC kicked arse, hes wasted as a coach

I found this fact very strange indeed, what is Gallagher being saved for? Is he going to turn out like a Berger from last season... One of those great mysteries!!

[FullerMagic]

Gallagher is starting to look like this season's Berger, isn't he?

I bet he's very pissed off considering he reportedly had many other offers.

I find it strange that TP should describe Gally as a player who can give you that little bit of something extra when you need it, but choose to bring Parkin on instead of him in a game where we're 2-0 down.

Hopefully that Parkin performance will be the final nail in the coffin of his Stoke City career. He is utterly worthless.

At least Mamma gives you effort, heart and commitment. Parkin offers NOTHING!
