Stoke fans' affection for absolutely shite players who run a lot never ceases to amaze me.
Our reliance on players like McClean is why we're scrapping to stay in this wank league.

You mean the same Mcclean who scored 7 goals, had 7 assists and was 3rd in total crosses this season? The one who could barely walk to take a corner, then subsequently put a perfect cross into the box to win the game 3-2? The same Mcclean who has been one of very few (if any) that tried his bollocks off every game despite the majority of his teammates not giving a fuck? Your head is so far up your own arse you can taste your colon. If McClean gets player of the season, then it's thoroughly well deserved, and it's just as well you're in the VERY small minority that doesn't see what he brings to the team. Do some research before spouting drivel in future, you utter disgrace of a "fan".

Thing is, McClean gets so much undeserved abuse from fans that I am close to being able to forgive him ear-cupping in the heat of a passionate moment.
I’ll stick my neck out now - McClean just edges it for me for player of the season. There, I’ve said it.
I reckon if MON builds a stronger team McClean will be immense as part of that. Just look at how well he’s managed to do when part of a team that, let’s be honest, is mostly shite.

At least Bayern will give some reasoning for his provocative opinions mind.

I don't know most players or what they think unlike yourself but if someone dishes out abuse, irrelevant if they deserve it or not then don't come crying when they get it back. It’s not irrelevant at all. They are paid servants of our club, highly paid “entertainers” it’s their job. If they don’t like other people’s opinions they are definitely in the wrong trade. It can’t be nice being abused, no shit? But when you are playing shit or not trying and being paid more in a week than most fans earn in a year, expect some grief, meh! Have some dignity, bite your lip and go home in your Ferrari to your mansion and you page 3 wannabe after. Sure as as shit they won’t be the first person in the world to get a bit of abuse and they won’t be the last, but they at least get paid a kings ransom for it!

They can only vote for players they've slated - which probably means Clucas, Allen and McLean are still in the running although Jack might edge it.

McLean for me, if the effort and desire that he puts in place was amongst all players we’d be some where else. May of gone down still but we’ve had gone down thinking differently. His attitude and determination is start point. If players can add to that your on a winner,

Stoke fans' affection for absolutely shite players who run a lot never ceases to amaze me. Our reliance on players like McClean is why we're scrapping to stay in this wank league. This just simply isn't true, sorry. Stoke fans aren't really magically different from most fanbases in Britain in that they love silky and creative players, but they also appreciate a trier. Players like Hoekstra, Fuller, Bojan and Arnie have been some of the most popular Stoke players of my lifetime. Equally we've loved players like Walters and Whelan (who were actually really good players who we failed to replace when they left, btw). Only fans of the truly big clubs in world football (who expect trophies every season) won't eventually take to a player who puts a shift in but isn't really good enough technically: like Fellaini who was pretty unpopular at Man Utd. If we had a skilful player who was tearing up the league and scoring/creating lots of goals, they'd have won player of the season. But we don't have one of those and we finished where we finished in the league. We can only vote for the players in the current squad, and it was a tossup between McClean and Clucas. I voted for Clucas but I don't resent McClean winning it.

McLean and Clucas combined had 87% of the vote! Not surprising really.

After the season we’ve had, it’s embarrassing to have a player of the season award.

Glad he added "better" after "emulate this season" Well done James I'm happy to see this really. It's good that someone of his ilk gets awarded. Players are paid to give 100%, it doesn't always happen as we know, not over an entire season but absolutely no-one can argue that this isn't the case here. Definitely in the Walters and Whelan mode for Stoke re commitment and those players made huge contributions to our club and never went hiding.

I voted for Powell as his inclusion coincided with our upturn but no complaints with McClean or Clucas. In hindsight McClean deserves it
