We are now entering the second stage of a landmark season for Stoke City. Our first season has seen some wonderful heights (Arsenal and Liverpool at home) and some soul destroying lows (Blackburn, Bolton even Man Utd)
But now the players need us (the fans) more than ever. They have battled extremely well to give us a great chance in the second half of the season. The board and Pulis have acted fairly quickly in the signing of Etherington (and hopefully Beattie and one or two more)
At times I know Pulis can be frustrating with his tactics but hand on heart even the biggest critic must thank Pulis for taking us to where we are now. We need to get behind every single player regardless whether you think he is any good. For example Kitson, let’s show him like on Saturday that we believe in him.
Every player has their critics but if we get behind them like against Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool then hopefully it will give them the encouragement they need.
The Britannia Stadium on Saturday made me feel proud to be a Stokie, the players like in a lot home games this season out fought the opposition even though they are one of the best teams in Europe and the fans were simply incredible. If we can all stay together the second half of the season fans and players alike the celebrations will be bigger than last May’s.
BE LOYAL BE PROUD BE STOKE
P.S lets stop the bickering on here as well debate yes but lets stop taking things personal. Or attacking somebody if they have a different viewpoint
That includes me by the way

Not only is it human nature for players not being up to it as much against the so called lesser teams but it's also human nature for us as supporters being the same and to be brutally honest the atmosphere at the Brit against these teams has been nothing short of disgraceful.This is because we expect our players to simply go out there stick in an wholehearted performance and just simply walk away with the three points. Then what really pisses me off is that when the opposition score we then sing for all of two fuckin minutes which then fades to nothing for the rest of. I'm always shouting for the lads in trying to get a song going, but if it's too much of hard work for us as supporters to raise the roof off against supposed lesser teams then i'd imagine that it's a damn sight harder for those players to lift their levels of performance too. We have got to meet those players 50-50 and get the place rocking for the whole of the match.
Be loyal be proud, and lets not have any regrets as to what if's.

Nothing less than 100% support from everyone is needed for every single game.
To be honest its more important against the teams around us than it is against the big boys.
The players do respond to us, we saw that on Saturday, so lets be even louder and more bellicose at every single game in future.
By the way I do still think its OK to say Vince is wank as long as when he plays (though do lets hope this doesn't happen again)we all encourage him as much as any other SCFC player.
