Superb record in any division never mind the Prem and considering that loss was our 10 men v Man U. Who in their wildest dreams would have thought that in August??? The experts were predicting one win in 12 maybe. Absolutely fantastic- If we could win away we'd be awesome :-) Was today our 8th clean sheet as well  Doddle this Prem lark |

28 out of 32 points at home speaks for itself we are awesome at the Brit.

Good post, soi mate. We sometimes can forget what we have achieved and expect too much.
One or two wins away would certainly look good on our CV.

If we had the ref v Fulham today could have been so different. He had the bottle to stand up to the big nobs of UTD. ( please don't tell me was the same guy :-) )

We've all heard the manager say it special at home, we've all heard the media comment on our 'Bear-pit'.
At the end of the day, we need to realise that we really do have something special going on at Stoke just now, I've NEVER felt so proud to be a Stokie.
For me, the response we get from the players when we get going is fantastic, today wasn't exactly setting the house on fire, but they well and truly responded.
Can ANYBODY tell me where that happens not just in the Prem, but anywhere in the world? Think about it, I am beginning to believe we have the best relationship between fans and players ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
You know I'm right, just accept it!

Indeed at home Chelsea and Arsenal have only taken one more point than us, with Liverpool having taken just two more points. We were only minutes (8 or 9?) from keeping a clean sheet against Man U too. It will be criminal if our away form sends us down. EDIT: Like minds Grapey!  |

Funny things these statistics because a thread coupla weeks ago also said that if we only played 75 minutes we would have half a dozen more points.

Imagine if we had the away fans in a corner and our fans on all 4 sides. Forget Bear Pit- would be a T Rex pit on a very hungry day when he's rather pissed off

Think I'll stay away for a while :-)

It was our 9th clean sheet of the season today.
Unluckily for us I believe it was Staffordshire FA ref Phil Dowd who reffed Man U v Fulham, a Man U fan by the way, so he wouldn't be able to ref us.
Our defensive record at home is awesome. In our last 13 home games we have conceded 6. They are
1) Clichy(?) last minute free kick v Arsenal
2) The penalty given by Styles against Griffin that never was v Derby
3) Hull's goal, King(?), good finish in the area
4) Tevez goal v Man U when we were down to 10 men
5) Krancjar goal v Pompey
6) Shawcross unlucky OG in last minute v Pompey
So of them 6 we have a late consolation goal that was a blinder, a penalty that never was, a goal whilst down to 10 men that never looked like coming whilst it was 11 v 11 and an unlucky OG by our CB leaving 2 goals.
