They've always been very anti-Stoke.

Of course it is, much in the same vein as your avatar!

That's about as funny as a brain tumour.

Not a bad effort at irony and sarcasm and delivered mostly in Hughes' own words! Probably, not in the same league as these Proboards come November? P.S. If they're having a clearance sale of Tone's caps when does it start?

Tis the season where sports journalists expire in an absence of things to write about.
The leagues are finished, there's no tournament to look forward to and even the transfer window is a long way away. Hence a desperate attempt at humour to fill space.
It's not good but to be fair I've read worse. That Telegraph piece was dire.

Yes finchy that is a little tongue in cheek poke of fun at MY team that I support not some idiot that has no doubt used the article as a stab at us and is probably being quite serious in its undertones. You are becoming a bit of a tedious poster already mate

I'm confused about that whole website. At the bottom of that page it said 'Back of the Net is a surprisingly funny football blog by Paul Watson and John Foster...'
Hmm...I mustn't have read the right pages

I thought it was quite funny. Only one thing worse than being talked about............... Same could be said for taking the piss.

That article is pathetic. When someone gets a pisstake of us right on the mark I find it hilarious - like that special stoke city FIFA controller above when I first saw it. But this one's just stretching an unfunny initial joke over several paragraphs, it's painfully bad.

No, I'm outraged. We should demonstrate outside their houses tonight to make sure that the next time they try and take the piss, they succeed in doing so. FourFourTwo OUT!!

The "select" button was clearly broken then on Tone's controller last season.

Yes finchy that is a little tongue in cheek poke of fun at MY team that I support not some idiot that has no doubt used the article as a stab at us and is probably being quite serious in its undertones. So is that article. It's hardly ground breaking, laugh out loud stuff but it made me smile. Some people take things way too seriously.

Think some need to grow a sense of humour.
It was funny in a stupid juvenile sniggering in maths lesson kind of way.
But then again I don't read the mag.

It's a bit of a fail really. It sounds like they are trying too hard to stretch a worn out stereotype, it's like listening to someone who thinks that they are funnier than they are.

Potentially an amusing theme for a mag of this type but poorly executed.

I'm all for laughing at ourselves and not taking ourselves seriously, but, wow, that was a proper pile of pisswank with a bit of poo on top

Fucking hell! What happened to all these fans that 'Don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, or says about us, We are Stoke'? It's all bollocks and bluster, we have some of the most over sensitive fans I've ever come across. Fuck them.

I don't think anyone is particularly over reacting here. We are just commenting that the article really isn't funny,whichever way you look at it.
