Look, you've come guns blazing right on final whistle without provocation. Then you've gone on to use uncalled for derogatory
name calling abusive language and I've replied, then you get offended. Serves you right doesn't it.

During my vocal support in this message board, I've been verbally abused with derogatory names by cowardly people and although the most of the name calling may not have come directly from you, you have quickly piped up to like their posts including using such derogatory language.
That's as good as doing it in my eyes and makes you equally the coward with no manners as they are.

Then you get a bit back and you're like the bully that gets punched in the mouth then goes off crying to their mummy, you're a an over sensitive little baby that can give it but can't take it.

Ever likely the youth of today have no manners, what chance have your children got with a role model like you.

You can apologise all you want, I'm not apologising you deserve it. Back in my day you wouldn't abuse people like you did to me last night without provocation, there wasn't the Internet, you'd have been punched right in the gob. That's how we got taught manners and it worked very well.

You won't find one single post of mine where I resort to derogatory name calling over an Internet, it's the most cowardly act

Yet you have no substance to your accusations

All talk.

You don’t know me and how I look after my kids.

You’ve been left to look very petty and hearing you’re a grown older man makes it even funnier

When you're liking these posts where people use this derogatory name calling and language you're a marked man, then you do it yourself and get sensitive when you get a reply.

I think that concludes our conversation.

The moral of the storey, install some manners.

How ironic. Have you read what you wrote yesterday 😂😂😂😂

I though this morning that's the headline that was needed " Alex Neil reads the riot act " then it transpires he meant the referee ( OK he was awful ) Neil then says we played well

He is completely and utterly deluded.

We're a cb and rb away from midtable it's just getting in someone who gets defense stable and shots on target at the other end. Burger finally shoots and he scores! Ryan's effort was because he attempted also! It's no shocker we shoot more we score more. The tippy tappy wing to wing shit doesn't produce. The defensive woes and just weak as piss stuff is the worst of it! This is probably the first stoke side in my lifetime I can't point to someone and go he's a walking red card because he plays tough shows effort 100% and is slow in tackles all of the time. No Wilkinson, No Deano, No Wilson. This side is devoid of passion and effort and hoever showed it at the end being an idiot then not tackling before giving away a break. We have a mix of castoffs and skill players with no base. It's just bleh and it's AN doing and his subs made his own shite smell worse.

We have got a RB who is 19 and plays for Cameroon already .
I guarantee if AN is gone tomorrow morning, Junior will be our RB for Plymouth.

Good enough to play for Cameroon at 19 years old, but not good enough to play for Stoke ?
That's just unbelievable to me .

You and me both.

He really thinks he is Gods gift to football. The bloke hasn’t got a clue what to do with a squad of players he brought in himself. If he had any decency he would just admit he is wank and leave.

There's one glpotter, straight after calling me out on final whistle tonight for no apparent reason, I've never give you shit I was humble during the 3 games, others may have done but I didn't..


Fool & tosspot in one post.

That's your standard attitude, you've got no manners, so don't expect any back

The sexual tension between you two is deafening

Does anyone know if he's popular with the staff and players generally?. The players certainly seem to be playing for him?.

Not sure I would describe what they are doing as "playing". They are all individually getting worse week by week, almost as if their ability is being coached out of them.

[Pugsley]

I'm told these players are good so why, if they are playing for him, are the performances of the team and individuals so abysmal?

Perhaps Neil is worse than we think, God forbid.

10 years of PL football, players who sweated blood for the club, put noses out of joint and lit up the Premier League with some great football. Now we've come to this - Neil and his Preston chronies bleeding the life out of the club. Just fuck off.

I do not think that there is any lack of effort from the players - so in that sense they are playing for him.

However, in terms of tactical understanding and carrying out his instructions - maybe not.

[telfordstokie]

If you are being generous about these supposed holidays I guess we are heading into a really intense run of games from now to New Year and neither the manager or players will be getting much of a break.

However, if you come back as massively undercooked as we have (and always seem to after every international break) they can’t be surprised at the criticism.

[silsdenstokie]

Last night feels like Hughes’s Bournemouth moment. Back then the board dallied for another couple of months and we know how that ended up

They'll leave it until we're out of the FA Cup in early Jan, giving a new manager zero wiggle room in the window.  Then bring in Wilder.

Yep, woukdnt surprise me. We’ll lose at Plymouth then beat Wednesday and that’ll save him until January

A genuine question, where has all of this stuff about these holidays come from?

All I have seen is someone saying that someone else told them that they had a friend who saw AN in Dubai (or something of that nature 😂).

Equally, how long were these holidays? It is not unusual for players to have a couple of days off during the international break - does it really matter if they spend their weekend off in Hanley or somewhere else?

Yep, common for players etc to have breaks during international week ...just a shame he came back

I know mate, my comment was just tongue in cheek reference to describing what they're doing as playing footy, rather than effort.

However, I don't think it's a lack of understanding on their part, I doubt AN is the tactical mastermind he was made out to be, he makes some bizarre decisions regarding formation, shape and approach.

Playing a flat 4-3-3 and putting crosses into Gayle on his own is not the sign of a tactically sound coach.

That is a fair point!

[jesusmcmuffin]

We're closer to the bottom 3 than we are play offs and he was talking about being in play off contention in the New Year

[prestwichpotter]

[scfcno1fan]

Has to go if we lose Saturday.

Don’t give him the Sheff W game, even a blind monkey could lead us to victory in that.

That will then give him another 5 games and the cycle repeats.

[MilanStokie]

Conna believe he is still here tbh. The fact that he is means once again the owners are massively out of touch with the fanbase.

It will turn very toxic very soon. I think AN is at the point of no return now as well, won't be long before he inevitably turns on the fans either.

I think the investment (financial and trust) they have placed in him to turn the club around may be an issue.  Since coming in the only people who have been secure in their jobs are those on the Burger Van opposite the main car park.  I think I’m correct in saying there’s been a significant turnaround in coaching, medical and analytical staff and at what cost.

Personally I wasn't enthused by his appointment in the first place, however it’s fair to give the guy a chance.  To-date he’s done absolutely nothing to allay my concerns. Listening to his interviews I cringe, nothing draws me to him as a personality nor does he inspire confidence.  
Perhaps it’s just me and in the future I’ll be eating a massive slice of humble pie.  If humble pie is on the plate in front of me I’ll gladly tuck in as I know we’ll be successful, that means EPL here we come. 🤞🤞🤞

Time?

And have 7 points to be fair

Just for clarity I was only highlighting that Shef Weds are the very sort of banana-skin we love to step on - and agree wholeheartedly that anyone (or even no-one) would be just as capable of picking a team and “managing” a game as this clown - he should have been shown the door at the end of last season but no, we compounded the clusterfuck and gave him the keys to the whole kingdom - crass incompetence of the highest order - just mind-bogglingly mental whichever way you look at it …..
