The author of the articles on the Club`s website REALLY must try to get it right - it is shameful how the Club is being let down by shoddy use of the English language and downright carelessness.
The article on the FA Cup Draw mentions that Stoke have reached the Semi-Final on THREE separate occasions, BOTH times (!!) going down to the Gunners etc etc
An earlier paragraph had "tie's" as the plural of "tie" - THERE IS NO APOSTROPHE REQUIRED.
Will someone in IT please get a grip, or get back to college!

You think thats bad, you should try watching Setanta Sports News, they have so many errors its embarrassing!
For example they have quotes from managers running across the bottom of the screen which cut off in mid sentence, like "Stoke manager Tony Pulis says he is really excited about" ...then it goes to the next story.
Last night they even spelt Crewe wrong, it said Leicester 2 - Crew 1

The general standard of reportage is woeful on the official site, often littered with inaccuracies and grammatical errors. The club should really be employing editorial staff with actual accreditation, not the underpaid amateurs they do at present. For all the improvements made throughout the club, both on and off-field, this is one area that still makes us look like a shoddy two-bit operation...
Have a word Mr. Scholes & Mr. Buxton eh?

Seems a fair enough point to me - we are either professional or we aren't. Surely we should be able accurately state how many FA Cup semi-finals we've reached??!!
