Is Pears the son of the ex Man U keeper? Having a good game Looks a good keeper. Didn’t realise his Dad played for MUFC. Only knew of him at Boro. Saw Penalty King George Berry score past him at the Vic in a 1-0. Just the 327 games for Boro… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_PearsI think he had shop in Alderley Edge when I was there is why I remember him at Man U. Didn't realise he played for Boro so many times 👍

The pace of this Blackburn match approaching 2hrs is something to admire. They have a lot of little players that run, press, run, press and never let up. It's like they had an idea of how to play and got players to play it. I haven't seen a stoke team show that kind of intensity since the premier League days. That's how you play football. Fuck knows what we've been doing for years

Do i need to explain to you what 'after' means? Just a weird stat to pull out. Means nothing. Like saying “We’ve only scored 15 since November in the league” It does mean the fellas scored a load of goals, wheras we are a touch goal shy.
Or maybe you're in the 'whats all the fuss about?' club.

He’s only scored 9 since Jan. I’m not part of any club, you’re part of the “my username is a lie and I make up crap stats club” tho

They scrapped the relegation play offs after that seem to remember. Got a really late goal to win it, maybe 2. I remember the ground being locked and I think Hull as well. Always saw them as a less fashionable Stoke if that's possible . They probably see it in reverse

They probably see it in reverse Yes, the relegation twist to the play offs only lasted two years…probably no one expected Chelsea to be dragged in! In the first (86/87 season) Charlton (top flight) scored 2 very late goals to beat Leeds in a play off replay at St. Andrews. Of course, that was the season of Stoke 7 Leeds 2..,

I watched Derby v Charlton last night and Mad Nath enjoyed the win which they thoroughly deserved 2nd half.The majority of Derby fans detest Paul Warne and his brand of football also.

How brilliant would it be to see stoke put in a performance like Blackburn have? Whatever the outcome they've been magnificent. Desire, spirit, togetherness, pace, physicality. And no little skill. If only. Where are all the people who were saying we don't want Eustace and his boring football here a couple of months ago. Schumacher was a much more popular choice. If Jon reads the Oatcake, which I doubt, then perhaps he decided to go with the fans.

So looks likely that we will be entertaining Nath next season. I'm sure he'll be looking forward to that more than we will.

Doesn't take Nath long to get his confidence back, does it?

Brilliantly led by Bruce Rioch who I thought would have been a fine manager at Stoke if circumstances had aligned. He had a tremendous young side at Boro though with Pallister, Mowbray, Ripley, Slaven, Beagrie, Cooper and Pears.

Rioch was approached when Macari left and gave us a straight- No Then Beardsley- yes then no last minute Then erm..Chic Bates

I wonder how things would have panned out if Beardsley had taken over? His ability as a player alone would have given us a better chance surely.

He said yes Took a holiday with his family to France then changed his mind a couple of days before he was due to take over Would just loved to have seen him play for us as was a player manager role seem to remember

He was one of my favourite players growing up and it would have been great to see him play for us in our first season at the new stadium.

Moxey was gutted Was quite a coup and moving to the new ground as well. Merson did the business for Walsall around the same stage of his career Would have been great

Freiburg v Bayern Munich is live on YouTube. Freiburg are 1 up after 12 minutes, same passage of play saw a great save from Neuer, then an overhead kick onto the bar, then a bit of a scramble and the goal from 18 yards.

Merson did the business for Walsall around the same stage of his career Would have been great Would have needed an experienced man with him At the very least would have been a boost for the crowd at least to start with Beardsley linking with Kav and Thorne could have been potent Suspect long term wouldn't have worked but could have had a far more stable non relegation season
