Mowbray must be totally delusional. If anyone was responsible for the lack of entertainment it was his side, which blatantly came for a draw. What football was played was by Stoke. Last year we got results against them, but in truth they were a better team to watch for the neutral. But they were dross today, and to pretend they were trying to play football is laughable.

What a prick - they played with one upfront, didnt test Sorensen and he bleats on about 'style' and 'entertainment' Covering his sorry arse which will shortly be out of the door along with other managers whose teams have come to Stoke and lost this season  |

Mowbray admitted that feeble return in the final third goes against his own footballing principles, but insisted it was tough to open up the game.
"You may describe Stoke a physical side - you've got to be physically ready to come here and I thought we did that admirably today," he said. "Sometimes that makes for a less enjoyable football match, less of a spectacle.
"But there you go, all that matters in the eyes of some is the result."
spot on you clown! you dont get any extra points for entertainment, he does know this doesnt he?

if Mowbray is so bloody concerned about things looking pretty and good to watch at football, why doesn't the plum buy a mask and stop scaring the kids?

Yes it all very good playing well and losing, not that they played well today but give me a performance like todays and the three points, over the Everton game and others earlier on in the season when we played well and picked up zilch points. Yes Moanbray I'm more bothered about picking up points than played tippy tappy football, as point make prizes.

In the trying to entertain stakes Stoke cruised home and won by miles

Makes me laugh how after every deafeat he always starts trying to take the positives out of it. Eventually you've just got to accep what you're doing is not good enough, and change what you're doing. Unless he starts concentrating on the negatives and trying to improve them, they're going down.
Also, I thought they played more long ball than even we did today. All they did all game was lump it up to Ishmael Miller who tried to do a Sidibe impression but failed miserably!

but its not just him, their fans demand it.. look at their forums - comments like "Id rather play attractive, entertaining football and go down" etc etc... they just live in la-la land...
I just dont know where they get it from? Sure ok, over the years they have had the occasional superb team (thinking late 60's & late 70's) but they hardly have a 'tradition' to uphold do they??
Even my Dad who is a die hard season ticket holding baggie, is starting to think that they are wrong and survival at all costs is the only thing that matters.
IMO - they planted the seeds of their destruction when they wouldnt give Phillips a 2 year deal

Made me laugh yesterday when (not one) the three coaches kept leaping into the technical area to direct the players. Their side looked confused as **** by all this verbal battering |

In many respects the brazil game was more important than the united game for us,its a massive 3 points and the baggies know it they are clutching at straws.

they used miller as a poor man's Sidibe. They lumped it up to him, but neither the hoofs, nor Miller were good enough. Look at the table Gurner, that's the most important statistic, not how many passes you can string together, how enjoyable the game is for neutrals or who has the most skillful players.

As others have pointed out, this time, Brazil can have nothing to be bitter about. They came to spoil the game and did a pretty good job of making it a quite a horrible spectacle at times.
They lumped it much more than we did and the only team trying to play football, although not particularly successfully until Tonge entered the fray, was us.
It wasn't a great game but we won, AGAIN, with several KEY players missing.
If I was a Brazilian, I would be worried. They didn't look anywhere near as good a side as they were last season, where despite the 4 points accrued, I thought they looked pretty decent really, but weak at the back!

I've never heard anything so daft in all my life. Unless the F.A adopt a rule at the end of the season that the 'stylish' teams get a 15 point bonus then yes it is the results that matter.
Mowbray you really are an arse faced, bitter, moaning c**t!

The main point beautiful, is that their football was far from beautiful yesterday and consisted of them trying to spoil the game, playing for a 0-0 and consistently lumping it aimlessly forward to Robinho Miller.

You can tell he is worried about his job now, the mind-bogglng insistence on improving players so they can go and play for 'big' clubs is clearly him begging the chairman to think of the money they might get for players rather than them being back in the championship again next season.

Mobray's comments that; 'Its his job to improve players so that they can move on to bigger clubs' is incredible! Do the Baggies fans really think that is what the club is about? Nothing to do with winning games and avoiding relegation? That has to win the prize as the most inept statement ever by a losing manager! Prize pratt!  |
