Yeah because booing players has historically worked well hasn't it? With the exception of Wenger who would seemingly shit himself, most people who are booed and abused revel in it... Did he revel in it? Don’t think he did much of note. Maybe the fans should have cheered him and thanked him for his 9 months service of useless shit…..sorry 8 months, he did do well that month he got a few assists at Sunderland. Fuck me. I thought he played ok. Decent enough. I would have had him in a heartbeat.

He was a bit of a non entity for us. Did the simple stuff, bottled the 50/50s, couldn't shoot, he was a poor man's Powell but got away with a lot from fans. It blagged my head why there was people booing him too, just don't do anything unless he does something in the game. Was a strange reception although I suppose stuff like that should be expected these days.

I thought he played ok. Decent enough. I would have had him in a heartbeat. Passed to a stoke player 3 times in opening 10 minutes…which is more than he managed in 35 games last season. Sunderland aside, that was arguably his best game for us tonight. He’s wank…as is Harwood-Bellis

From where I was sat in the Boothen there was only a very small minority of people booing.
If 1 in 20 people boo and 19 don’t then you are going to hear a little bit of booing. It stopped as soon as the match began to get interesting.
There’s nothing to see here.

Completely embarrassing.
The Kavanagh or Commons returns, were both excellent but this just made us look so very small time.

He got as many claps as he did boos, certainly from Sentinel Stand side and he was nicely applauded when he went off. Quite why he got either is beyond me. I was just relieved he was in a Southampton shirt and not a stoke one.

I didn’t like him but I don’t see why booing him specifically is a good idea. We used to clap former players, even when we had a somewhat intimidating crowd.

Probably the same lot that boo’d Demba Ba because WE decided not to sign him. Which he then proceeded to score a hat trick.

I think it was something to do with the fact that he said ( allegedly) at te end of his tenure that we would never sign for Stoke and it was simply a spring board back into Southampton

Also week in week out she shouts about Laurent “he shouldn’t even be captain, never mind on the pitch” I am sure the point she is trying to make she should be saying that the other way round. She loves to start shouting a count down whenever their keeper has the ball in his hands (I’m talking from the first minute of the games) last night she got well excited and went 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10.

Even the commentator seemed to ridicule those doing it and rightly so. Thankfully we've moved forward and have so much better and showed him .

I remember when booing used to be reserved for the real Judas twats like Commons etc.
Booing Smallbone was so small time.

All it does is fire the player up. Stupid. That was Smallbone fired up last night then was it? I remember him being fired up for us pretty much every week then. He was utter wank for us, and even though I wouldn't boo him, I don't see any issue with football fan's booing a player who was wank while he was here. You're all falling into the trap of believing Stoke fans are different to any other set of fans..... We aren't.

That was typical Smallbone performance. Little 5 yard passes. Creative nothing Im not a fan of him but how much better was he than Laurent? (Who is rightfully getting a lot of criticism). Haks was not enough of a threat and didn't create enough either, Pearson did ok but that's not really enough is it? And Johnson was rubbish. So I would say he was probably better than most of our midfield? Yet people are suggesting we played well??????

He's miles too slow and shouldn't be anywhere near our 11 until he's fit. You can see why laurent gets minutes because he's the only centre midfielder who's willing to run, last night showed up how poor our midfield is, they were out battled by a bang average midfield including small piece who didn't get out of second gear.

Fans boo former player shocker.
I didn’t and wouldn’t boo myself, but it’s not that deep. Especially when we’ve been shite all season probably just a bit of frustration isn’t it.
Not a big deal.

Can I have what you’re on mate You watching a different game to me What did Pearson do last night again apart from being booked again and leaving massive holes infront of the back 4 again? So you are trying to dig at Pearson who gives 100% every game for a brilliant tackle, and subsequently being booked by the most corrupt referee most have ever seen at the Bet365 whilst trying to argue for and defend that gutless Southampton cretin that we had on loan for another abysmal season who spent most of his stoke career passing to the opposition and cowering out of tackles. What a fan! Absolutely bizarre! BTW, Seeing as Pearson was playing defensive midfield and in the latter stages all over the back line and midfield, and the result was that they scored 1 single direct free kick (again which shouldn’t have been) I think he did his job pretty well don’t you? Edit.. I didn’t even read the part where you said that Laurent was much better than Pearson. Wow. Wow. Wow. Seriously, have you ever kicked a football in your lifetime, because that is one of the most clueless things I have ever seen on here and that takes some doing.

I can’t agree with wanting Smallbones legs being broken, I wouldn’t have minded, seeing the short arse Armstrong leave the field with a career threatening injury. If that somehow included the referee being involved all the better… killing two birds with one stone!
