No. Because I don't agree it happend. Why would I agree with something when I think it's utter bollocks? You don’t agree with stats about passes??! Do you think someone has made them up then? I don't think it shows anything tbh. Clucas might as well not have been on the pitch last night, the stats show sod all.

First half was a none affair. We had a few shots that were never going to trouble anyone, they cut through us at times but generally passed it around in front of us nicely controlling the play. Second half they were all over us and it was clear we were going to lose. What about the shots that did trouble them? The keeper made 3 saves, 1 a very good save and bar a block 3 yards out from Clucas' shot we go one up.....fantasy.....you speak total fantasy. That Clucas shot was going wide. What was the very good save? From Campbell in the first half? He should have caught that fucker.

Pearson, johnson and Browne (4, 11 and 8) were very good for them and complimented each other well I thought.
The difference was the centre halves though. Ours had to deal with 2 balls into the box and couldn't whilst their 2 headed and blocked everything.

Attachment DeletedJust for fairness rather than just making stuff fit an agenda... Pearson’s dictatorial display. Wouldn’t say there was much difference from Clucas. Apart from Clucas creating a big chance....

Agenda driven? What agenda? The player I've defended pretty much from when he signed and think is player of the season hands down so far. What agenda is this?

Would've beat the keeper.

If Barkhuizen is a midfielder, who the hell plays up front for you. And...what exactly do you mean regarding McClean? Barkhuizen plays left or right across a four in midfield usually. As far as McCleans concerned I think you know what I mean and needless to say the owner and fans take the rich history and reputation of Preston North End very seriously. Added to that hes a dogshit 'kick and run' merchant who I've never seen have a good game. Probably why hes never managed to reach a 100 games for any of his many clubs.

Lot of stats to take in there. Thought it was a game of two halves with Stoke much the better in the first half and playing with confidence after a good run of results. Second half Preston made a couple of changes and together with the half time bollocking off Neil where the better side. You could see the confidence drain from Stoke and it ended up pretty comfortable with Rudd and the Preston centre halves dealing with things relatively easily aided by poor delivery it has to be said. Tom Barkhuizen went passed your left back several times and should of scored more than the one he did. Twelve goals from midfield from him, not bad for a player effectively stolen from Morecambe when they had no money to pay wages. Much better winger than MCclean in every respect and I think it reflects very badly on a club with Stokes history that you employ this bloke. My season ticket would be going back if he where to emerge anywhere near North End together with many others.What? How does it reflect badly on Stoke's history? Or yours?

Pearson is one of those players opposing fans hate but his fans love. But how we need a player like him in our midfield. Someone tough to win the battle. Thought Joe Allen was poor last night rarely won a 50/50 which instantly puts us on the back foot. We need far more strength in the central midfield if we're going to go for promotion next season. Having said that thought the whole midfield and forwards were poor last night. Corners poor, and free kicks poor, a just another inconsistent showing from Stoke. How the hell are we going to get anywhere near promotion next season? The changes we'd need to make to our squad are monumental. Let's just stay up first, hey? That's the spirit Jimmy wrote next season off already.

Tom's scored 29 in the championship for Preston alone, that's the same as McClean has for all his clubs since he arrived from Derry in 2011.

I get you are having a good season,far better than us but from what I saw last night I would put money on you not going up.It's not sour grapes just that you struggled,especially first half against a team a lot lower in the table whose performance was not as good as usual. And as for Prestons 'rich history and reputation'(???????)most of your players actions last night were embarrassing and with a stronger and better ref you wouldn't have finished the game with 11 men. See you next season.

That's the spirit Jimmy wrote next season off already. Are you talking about promotion back into the Championship then? If we stay up, then MON's job is a big one and I have my doubts as to what we'll be able to do based on the squad we have and the players we need. It's a massive mess we're in and yes, I'd love to be totally wrong.

They are in and around the top 6, having a good season, only an hour or so up the M6. We took more to their place when we were in the third division. Must have all been too busy cooking up some butter pies.

Owen was shot when he came here, Rooney is far from shot. I was replying to the query of them being big hitters, that is so what
