was just thinking wether the majority of stoke fans enjoy this "no-one likes us we don't care" thing . with all the media as good as ignoring us it makes me feel as if it could work to our advantage and we can go up quietly with nobody expecting it from us. i must admit i enjoyed it to see sky making a fuss of us on tuesday but (as sod's law suggests) when there is hype made about us we manage to cock it up.
what does everyone else think?

I think that we should have enough experienced heads within our squad to see us promoted either automatic or through the play-offs. I do worry about both Cort and Shawcross though because as a unit they are well dodgy.

started to worry about them both aswell. i think shawcross hasnt quite got the brain yet which is like playing with fire when we're in this position, saying that, two years and he'll be an england player

I dont believe it is no, in fact i would say that Simmo is feeling the heat more because he has to come out further in an attempt to get the ball because not one from Ryan or Leon look to take any responsibility upon their shoulders. Individually they are good players as a unit they're not so good, and nowhere near good enough as a unit to see us promoted. Anyway, what the fuck do i know, as ive never been promoted in my life ??? |

We really could do with having Higgy back.  |

The media may generally ignore us compared with the more 'glamourous' sides like WBA, but I don't think other managers are ignoring us in the slightest. Stoke are now one of the top sides in the eyes of other managers and that makes it more difficult for TP and the players.

thats true jimbo but it still feels good to be classed as "underdogs" when compared to watford and rio de smethick . i just think it will feel all the better when we go up without anyone expecting us to do it

Isn't it a thing of the past now, we seem to be the 'new kids on the block' that pundits are talking about and actually seem to be taking us seriously .............. AND we're scheduled for THREE live TV games soon.
