Did anyone else notice that in today's and yesterday's papers (well the Mail and Times at least), they pick Saturday's game to focus on how bl**dy marvellously Palace are doing under Ian Dowie.
Did TP get this treatment at any time in the last 2 months and why did they have to pick such a spectacularly ropey game for us to run the piece?
Or is that my finely-honed persecution complex showing after 25 years of supporting the Potters?

I also noticed that the NOTW ran 2 different match reports , spoke to a mate in macc and he said it went on about the ref being dodgy, and us not getting awt from him etc. etc.
yet my london issue had a very different match report in it

Looking at The Sunday sentinel u would think there was only one football club in the Potteries 'Port Fail'! Page after page dedicated to the Vale and their 'superb' ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/cj7bsBj2jOTuEAUVaPt5.gif) new manager Martin Foyle! (3-4 pages) after a boring 1-0 win. They just managed a single page about Stoke's game at Palace! Maybe it should be cheaper for us Stokies??? Hardly worth buying for a paragraph and an A2 picture!

The NOTW I read ran a good report ...was more about Stoke and mentioned the good run we'd been on...mentioned the ref..and then a survey of stoke fans feelings on what kind of a job Pulis is doing. ( which incidentally everyone said he was doing a triffic job ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) )

In my opinion media coverage of any team north of watford gap is at best piss poor.Now if you play for a london club well then its a different story.

The reports that I have read seem to echo the reports you lot have all read. The thing that struck me about them was that they seem to be all large reports (which is unusual for a game involving us), but there was very little about the actual game. They seemed to be basically articles about Dowie. If your gonna write a article about him fair enough but why masquerade it as a report about the game.
The same thing can be said of some the reports that started appearing when Taggert came in and started to turn us around. They focused almost entirely on him and mentioned very little about the actual game. If you weren't a Stoke fan you would probably have to go looking through the report again to actually find out who he was playing for.
