I trust those saying why the fuck did he play last night wont be going to the Cup Final should we make it. Clearly not that arsed about silverware. What a load of bollocks. My opinion was based exactly on that reason. I do want to win silverware. This happens to us while Southampton have very few injuries. Heh, luck eh. I just don't get your logic mate. Whose to say we would have won last night without Bojan? Rochdale were the better team first half and if he hadn't scored early who's to say what would have happened? It was a tough game against a side going well and bang up for it. Hughes basically picked the first team bar the keeper and thank God he did. Don't see the link with Southampton at all either? Aren't they out of the Cup?

Not ashamed to say I almost teared up when I read about our Bojan. Gutted to say the least.

Massive blow but players can come back stronger from this. On the plus side we've got him for at least another 18 months now and hopefully he'll be back to fire us on in Europe next season.

I'll always have Stoke in my heart, to see Bojan out when things seemed to be falling into place is just hard to take.
We live for magic players, but to see our favourite ruled out... Lost for words.
I'd thought we were really looking good for the Cup, yet it's not looking so simple now...

What do you do, never play your best players just in case they get injured.

Last night, Bojan got injured, then got up and walked quite easily round the pitch, then jogged for about 10 steps, and was very eager to come back on, how's he gone from that to 6-8 months out? makes me want to cry thinking about it

Very very sad news and devastating for the lad himself; our hearts are with him and we all wish him a speedy and complete recovery, but
1. He will be back.
2. A football team is 11 players plus subs, not just 1 man; if it was Portugal or Argentina would have won the world cup. They didn't.
3. We still have Ryan, Bego, and many other players who can put in top class performances. Even some of the guys who get a lot of flack on here have played some excellent games for Stoke. The trick is for MH to get them all playing excellently together and they can then beat anyone; ManC this season, Chelsea/Manu/Arsenal last season - all without Bojan.
4. Stoke City are still capable of winning the FA Cup and getting a top ten place this season. Their task will be made easier by having faithful, passionate supporters behind them willing them on.
5. The Stoke squad are a multi-national group of tough, battle hardened, vastly experienced players who will overcome this setback and not let their heads drop. They will try all the harder for Bojan sake, with a team spirit the way Bojan went to the defence of his team mate Moses last night and stood up to a guy twice his size.
The season starts again against QPR and we all move on.

Gutted for him, gutted for us too - but he'll be back for sure and with luck he's given us the momentum for the lads to deliver a good rest of the season. Very much doubt it'll be as strong as it would have been with him there, but we'll do ok.

He's a determined little bugger who's having the time of his life, I guess along with what ruts has said that's what happened.

I have had exactly the same injury bojan has now ruptured ACL, one of the worst injuries you could have..
It's one of those injuries that when you first do it you get a real sharp pain and then 2 seconds later it feels fine and you think you can carry on.. But in your head you know there is something seriously wrong.
As soon as bojan did it last night I said to my dad and mate straight away that's an ACL injury.. Unfortunatley I hope I'm wrong but I can't see him playing maybe fully until xmas. It takes at least 7 months before you can fully train again and then will take him a few more months to get fully match fit after that, plus no pre season won't help.. I think the first half of the season can be wrote off ( I really hope not) he's been my favourite player all season even the days when people said he wasn't cut out for the prem! Such a sad injury for someone who was enjoying his football again! I know he will come back stronger his age is his biggest asset at a time like this!!

At least we'll hold on to him next season as he will now be out of the spotlight. We need to get busy in this window, even though Bojan is irreplaceable

He appears to me to be quite immature, it is by no means knocking him, but that seems to be why his career has floundered. Evidence last night, more mature players would have seen the long term implications of the injury and protected themselves. Bojan just wanted to win the tie.

Very true when I did mine I carried on playing but your knee constantly gives was as the main supporting ligament has gone even if he did carry on he would of been off after 5 mins he would of struggled to of run

The kid had the self-discipline and determination to do hours of tedious gym work to put on the necessary muscle mass to help him compete in the premier league,so his attitude's spot on.He also appears to be level headed and sufficiently intelligent to learn from watching games that he's not involved in,which also bodes well for his recovery.Perhaps the club could extend his contract to reiterate just how much faith we've got in him and underline that he doesn't need to rush back prematurely,as we've got his back,as it were,etc.He's not going to lose his touch,vision and spatial awareness so there's no reason he can't come back from this (initial rustiness aside,)and be as good if not better,than the form he was showing.
Perhaps,the extra responsibility of shouldering more of the attacking threat in Bojan's absence may have a positive by-product of inspiring Arnie to rediscover last seasons form.

As Higgi as said on Twatter, once it's snapped, it's snapped. It doesn't matter.

Bojan must be nigh on inconsolable, if I was in his position of just recovering my early career form at a club that basically adored me I'd be fucking devastated.
Definitely need a few songs for him on Saturday, let the little fella know we're with him every step of the way.
I haven't felt this gutted about anything for a very long time.

Best player to wear a Stoke shirt since Alan Hudson.
Devastated.
His joy last night after his goal showed a real affection and appreciation of the club and the fans.
We need to show our continued support for him throughout his recovery in the same way as we have supported Wingie.
Offer him a contract extension.
Get well soon little man; "We'll be with you..."
