This club is just weird now. My thoughts too, we seem to have a cunning ability to make the wrong decision about everything. It’s sucking the life out of the fan base. You could tie Etebos legs together and he would still contribute more than any of our shite midfield on Saturday.

Just when I thought we'd hit rock bottom in terms of incompetence something else happens to add to the pile of rank bad mistakes.

Doesn't sound too chuffed, does he?
But maybe that's just the tedium of the bus ride up to Sunderland with the kiddies.
So he's fit enough to make the bench on November 26th - but not fit enough to make the bench since.
Yet Woods is fit enough to chuck in after months out.
Hard to go all-in without knowing what his attitude is like, but something smells off

He just liked a post with the caption
'O'Neil out, Etebo in'
He's finished here now. What a bunch fucking idiots these players are.
Children all of them.

I am beyond giving a shit about Stoke now. Every decision made since Millwall is the exact opposite of what I would do. I feel no affinity because the club does not represent any of my views on football at all. We're playing a shit 433 that didn't work last season, except without our best 2 midfielders who we've decided to bin off in favour of a midfield 3 that made 13 passes between them in an entire game. We're playing a fat, useless striker who can't move on his own up front.
I honestly couldn't care less about our result tomorrow, I felt invested under Jones and Rowett, despite the shitness. This last 2/3 weeks has absolutely killed me off.

If he wants to be picked maybe he should get a British passport and then put in 3 years of dross performances whilst seemingly just running about

Frankly mystified as to how anyone can watch our midfield (has it created a goal from open play yet?) and think it's better off without those two in the side. Paddy or no paddy.

Lets not beat around the bush. Is it in any way farfetched to simply assume that agent pressure has led to our powers that be instructing MON that neither of them are to start?
Given the last 4 years this would hardly surprise me at all.
Tomorrow night is shaping up to be a real potential turning point.

So he's confirmed that he's not playing them because he believes there are better players currently available. Based on their attitude / current training levels yes. Is that so weird? They're clearly pissed off Jones was fired, both seemed to get on very well with him. They're clearly pissed off Jones was fired? There's no evidence of that whatsoever.

You'd like to think that as they are both contracted to Stoke that Stoke dictate what is happening. Then again those clowns upstairs have no idea what they are doing anyway so I will shut my mouth. I really am getting close to just packing all this in. Its that much of a circus its just becoming unpleasant to even think about Stoke. I find myself repeating the same boring shit on here week after week. And its because there isn't anything positive to discuss, nothing, not one thing. It feels like rock bottom but worryingly there is still a long way to go yet. Its frightening.

I'm no gambling man but I'd wager a few quid that this bloke is a colossal wanker.
You're playing for Stoke mate, at the bottom of the Championship, something you have been a big part of. No other fucker wants you.

It's not at all clever to publicly moan like he's doing but you can't blame the bloke if he's confused at why he's considered a worse option than Allen or Woods on current form. Ditto Badou.

I really hope he plays well tonight for the 23s and the manager is watching it! Well thats the point isn't it ?

No, he should address it with the manager in private and work to get in the side. Then when in the side show us some end product.

He has now unliked sed post.I wonder what got to him first common sense or the club. For me he would not be in the u23 squad for such lack of professionalism. I'd send him straight home and tell him not to report back until we have a club lined up for him.

If the suggestion is he doesn't warrant a place then his on-field performances, especially compared to others, don't suggest that do they?

So is this about Etebo and Badou or about Stoke City FC? Both are very good players who should be in the Premiership and not playing at the foot of the Championship, However if they don't like the situation and aren't prepared to knuckle down I'm 100% behind O'Neil. Lambert tried the "give it to Shaqiri - he's better than you" tactic and that didn't go well. I'd take 11 "average" players playing as a team (which takes time and patience to get right) over lob in a couple of "superstars" and hope for the best every time.

41 days ago shortly before Jones was sacked I posted this: Same article says the Etebo injury will keep him out for 'a bit of time' doesn't sound good to me. Etebo *and* Badou out for any length of time = we are utterly, absolutely fucked. And our new manager comes in and drops them both. Enough to make you weep.

That doesn't automatically mean we won't play for the new manager does it? You can have a good relationship with your previous boss without hating the next one?

I think etebo and badou are our best players and I don't know why the manager isn't picking them. But tweets like that, undermining the manager, piss me off. Fed up of the attitude of these players, it should be heads down and prove themselves every day in training and on the pitch.
