I want to open an excuse sweep for the team being rubbish.
Every manager since Paul Lambert said the team of pampered millionaire athletes isn’t fit enough. I’m ‘avin that one.
Having said that most of them have been resting since August.

I think he'll immediately identify the absence of a train station at the ground as our #1 issue.

I think he will complain he can't get players from Amazon.

I think he will complain he can't get players from Amazon. I’m not sure that’s true. I thought most of our players were bought sight unseen from a mix of five star reviews and YouTube videos. You may be onto something. |

I think if he makes mistakes which he will no doubt then he will hold his hands up as he said in his interview. I don't think he's the bullshitting type we've been used to and that will be a breath of fresh air.

He will put it down to missing being in the dugout due to participating in a grand prix.

I'm going to open a sweep on how long it will take before someone starts a "isn't everything about Stoke City irredeemably shit" thread after the start a new era.
Bollocks....who said less than 24 hours?

They had a bit more quality, on the day, in both boxes - after a 5-0 defeat to Rotherham. We really are a downtrodden bunch aren't we - we could be predicting the play-offs or a return to the prem - but no, we are predicting his excuse when the inevitable happens  I am personally mortified at our latest appointment and yes it is negative, but can't help how we feel can we. However, JC sees something in these people at the interviews that the rest of us can't or at least are not privy to - I just hope whatever his vision for the team/club was when he interviewed this guy actually comes off this time - we all could do with some good footy and a passionate team, a team that bullies the away team off the park and at the very least makes it a painful experience to visit Fort Britannia. We do need some brave hearts and some excitement - and I did notice in his interview he mentioned he was going to be brave - so hopefully we will have a man that wont need any excuses. |

We don't play in green so I'm not used to the kits yet and they don't sell Cornish pasties in the ground. Oh and Johnny Boy and Tricky Ricky told me there was a lovely beach with warm blue waters around here somewhere...where the fuck is that?
