the "we are staying up" at the final whistle was deafening that day, it was the first time since promotion i truly believe we could stay up, especially after the footballing lesson Bolton had taught us the week before! |

Oh what i would do if i could see BIG Mama Sidibe come on with 10 minutes left and score another header with the back of his head to see us win the game by a goal & stay up in the premiership this season! We Will Stay Up Lads!

When you looked at the fixture list, you wondered when we'd ever get our first point.
And when we got dicked by Bolton it looked worse than ever.
And then we played the Villa.
I cant stand blarting over football, but at the end of that match...I just went.

Villa dicked Man city the week before. We were talking before the game and said anything less than a 3 goal defeat would be a good result.
How could we go from a team like that to the one we are witnessing now. It is a bloody crime.

There be the crux of the matter Mark. When were first promoted we were more likely (at home anyway) to get at sides and have go to try win the match. Five years and millions of quid later we seem to only want to play out 0-0s.

If we go down this season, and stay down for 23 years, our next momentous home game like this will take place in 2036.
What will we all be doing then?
I'll be a grandfather who probably enjoys painting sheds.
Anyone else?

STOKE CITY: Sorenson, Griffin, Dickinson, Cort, Ab Faye, Lawrence, Am Faye, Olofinjana, Delap, Fuller, Kitson. Subs: Diao, Sidibe, Cresswell.
Not a single player in the line-up who's with us now.

I cant stand blarting over football, but at the end of that match...I just went. Ek The most excited I've ever been at a match at the end when mama scored I must have been 10ft in the air. My late dad was so proud that day, a great occasion. I actually want know how far across stoke on Trent that roar for the winner was heard, it was the loudest yet. |

It's a strange quirk of fate that so many of our proudest (and most emotional, I guess) moments under TP should come in games against Villa, like this one and the one BKB mentions, as well as the draw at Villa Park in our first season up.
It's also depressing to see, reading that report, how many things we've lost since then. 'Creative'. 'Long throw'. 'Tony Pulis had been quick to address some of our shortcomings'. 'Goal'.

We can get it back Rob, just got to keep the faith. I'm not fan of the shite we've seen at times this season, but we still have players who care and 25k screaming stokies on our side. |

I've woken up surprisingly optimistic today. If we start well, the fans will react and the atmosphere should be rocking.
I have no idea where the optimism has come from, and it isn't based on any logic or reason, I just have a feeling that tomorrow will be a good day.
I should probably be sectioned mind.

I've lost faith entirely mate. Will still go, still roar them on, but don't believe anything will change with the current management team. |

I agree and being objective because of pulis's stubbornness on this occasion I actually believe we'll be relegated. I hope with everything I have to be proved wrong.

I'm certainly of the mind that things need to change, which let's face it, means only one thing (given TP is incapable of change). I still believe we're capable of being much much better though. Those first few matches of the season showed promise and we still have the tools at our disposal. We just need to do what we do tomorrow. No nonsense, fully brutal football. Give em hell. |
