I don't have a problem with the throw ins, but it's not exactly entertaining. It entertained me yesterday. Any club that once employed the likes of Brian Fucking Robson has to be clueless He put us on the map and brought in some breath-taking players that you could only dream of having in your team. First season-Promoted as champions 2nd season- Solid mid-table finish 3rd season- relegated because of The FA being biased and 2 cup finals. An incredible season and we got to see a master at work, at his peak in Juninho. 4 Season- Promotion 5 Season- Top half finish The rest were a bit boring, usual craic of him bringing in some world class players but them not really gelling. So all in all, I don't think Robbo did too badly. |

Well it was on the thread about your disappointment in our fans and it was strangely ingored by you even though you continued to post on the thread. Given you say you're not bothered by how many you took to the Brit you went to great pains to tell us that you took 2500 and that it was a definite "fact." Have a look at the You Tube clip at all the empty seats in your end and then tell me how many you really brought down. Oh right... yeah looks as though theres about 200 empty seats maybe, still not a bad turn-out considering Newcastle is just around the corner. |

Parmo, the greatest player the planet has ever produced spent most of his career at Stoke and I'm not talking about Vincent Pericard. The world's greatest ever goalkeeper is our club president and if he isn't good enough for you, we have Shilton as back up. History is one area where we are well served. Don't forget that the Football League started in Stoke. Its first headquarters were in the City. A Stokie was its first Secretary and we were instrumental in nearly all of the rules taken for granted today. Our next match, is the oldest league fixture in the world as Stoke vs West Brom kicked off earlier than the other games on that day. Our last 23 years have been a complete embarrassment, where they have been a tremendous time for your club. The roles are about to be reversed and normal service will be resumed for the next 120 years. How many times did you see Banks and Matthews play? Matthews wasn't the best player ever, he wasn't even the best english forward of his generation. I actually feel a bit sorry for you you'll never witness what I have witnessed in my Boro supporting life. All down to this "wanker" Gibson  Parmo, I loved seeing Banks and Matthews play, as well as Hurst and Shilton. Matthews was still playing at the top at the age of 50, the record attendances at many clubs were set to watch Matthews, including the biggest English League attendance (Maine Road) and the biggest attendance for any game in Britain (Hampden). The Burnden Park disaster was caused by the crush of Bolton fans desperate to see him play. After Brazil won the World Cup, they came to play England at Wembley. Matthews vs Pele (the only time they faced each other). England won 4-0 and Brazil's left back left the field in tears with 20 minutes left because he could not cope with Matthews. The poor guy had a breakdown and never played at the highest level again. Pele was in his prime and Matthews was in his mid 40s. Ask Pele who was the greatest and he will give you the answer - Stanley Matthews. Pele came to Stoke last summer to pay homage to Banks and Matthews. Did he come to Middlesbrough as well? One last little thing. You are English and a football fan and you think Matthews was a forward. Hang your head in shame you ignorant cretin. |

Okay lets go through that paragraph by paragraph.. 1st Paragraph- You probably didn't see Matthews play, but okay... 2nd Paragraph- Well most of it is ballocks and myths you've heard and believed as you're from Stoke and... yno. Matthews quoted "No i'm definitely not the best player in England, that would be Wilf Mannion. The man is a wizard". 3rd Paragraph- See Paragraph 2. Never heard such ballocks.. 4-Pele was actually a regular at The Riverside in 97 because of The God and sometimes pops back... so yeah. 5-I call all attacking players forwards. |

The sectioned off area between the two sets of fans in that end totals 850 seats. The empty area in your section is larger than that. Rough estimate then, 1800 Boro fans. Simply enough for you to understand? Here's a bit more help for you then. With segregation our ground now has a capacity of 27,500. We sold out of our 24,700 tickets. The attendance was 26,442 which means there were.....wait for it.....1742 Boro fans. Fact. |

Parmo, welcome back. I am one of Stoke's older supporters and saw quite a bit of Matthews in the early 60's. How I would have loved to have seen him in his prime. Even at the age of 50, he was still the best player in the League.
He retired 'too early' in his words because Alf Ramsey had decided to ditch wingers for the 66 World Cup. Otherwise a 54 year old grandfather would have starred for England during their finest hour.
I think you miss the point about Pele. He came to Stoke, not to watch one of today's overpaid prim a donas, but to pay homage to two of the greatest footballers your country has ever produced. I am greatly concerned that you see fit to decry them.
If you are a true football fan (and I suspect you are) then read Sir Stan's autobiography and you will see that everything I have said is absolute fact. Parts of it make you truly proud to be an English football supporter.
In 1962/63 every away game that Stoke played, the home team recorded their largest gate of the season, all to see Stan play It is incredible that he starred alongside Wilf Mannion and Brian Clough and also Bobby Charlton. He played almost exclusively in the top division from the age of 17 to 50 with an interruption for the war.
I doubt we will ever see his kind again from any player from any country.
One last thing. You were in the presence of the great man yesterday. He is buried under the centre spot at the Brit and Banksy was sitting in the crowd.

No, I just knew we sold 2,000 at least and since she said we had shifted quite a few (we always do on the last day) that it would be close to 2,500... pretty simple. |

Sorry about that by the way, I thought you were claiming Stanley Matthews was the greatest player ever without actually seeing him play, but you obviously have done so I take that back. I was at the England friendly against Argentina just after he died, where they had a minutes silence from him. The anger at the Argentinans who didn't respect the silence just goes to show how well respected he is by those who have seen him play. Sounds like I missed out by not seeing him play. |

I'm distantly related to Mannion which i'm quite proud to say as he must have been good if he received such praise from someone like Stanley Matthews. |

Read the book Parmo, Stan is very complimentary about Wilf, as he is about Lawton, Finney, Mortenson and a few others.
Tis time for me to go to bed, but a few warm memories will help me rest more easily tonight.
Enjoy the rest of the season and if you can stay up at the expense of Newcastle and Dull all will be well in the world.

Definitely will have a read of Matthews' book, sounds like a very interesting era of football. Think its time I left here anyway chaps, only came on to pass a few hours on a Sunday when i'm nurseing a hangover and trying to come to terms with the fact we're actually going down. Genuinely do hope we both stay up and I don't actually believe half the stuff I came out with today, like I said, just wanted to pass a few hours on a horrible day. Cya chaps. |

'I really don't get why Stoke fans are so obsessed with how good their atmosphere is?'
You obviously are that THICK you are missing the point that we ARE the loudest fans in the Premier and it has been proven. Even watching West Brom the other night the commentator mentioned the atmosphere at the Brit as being nothing like he's ever heard in the league. Same during Man U v Blackburn. Now what does that tell you??? Did the decibel readings at Premier grounds malfunction and it is a fluke that we were recorderd at 101 decibels or is it YOU that constantly prattles on about it and is in fact the obsessed one hence your constant posting on here re it.
If the atmosphere wasn't it's usual level v Boro then that's due to the fact that it's hardly a big game- a team going back where they belong to be fair and the reality obviously pains you so much :-)
Make the most of your time on here as it's only a matter of weeks that the Premier league will remember or care about you any more.
Another FACT.
Now toddle off back to your half empty stadium and team that scores a goal every other month.

parmo:
When Sir Stan died the streets of this city were lined with over 100,000 citizens who wanted to pay their respects to the greatest footballer EVER! There have been many great footballers and Wilf Mannion would certainly figure amongst them but none with the aura of Sir Stan. Some of the most memorable footballer in history have played for Stoke City and many were born and raised in this city. You might want to 'investigate' the footballing pedigree of Neil Franklin who went to play in South America when that was unheard of. There has never been a better central defender (and that is the opinion of many of the world,s most famous named - not mine). The modern day Middlesbrough have enjoyed great times and, personally, I admire that in a club which very nearly went to the wall not so long ago. But come on parmo, the years before that time were very lean indeed for you club and you could NEVER 'Lord it' over my club because we are, in many respects, fairly similar. Stoke City have won very little in it's history if that is how you want to measure footballing history. The fact is, we have spent more seasons in the top division than any other division of football. We are founder members of the Football League and are the second oldest professional football club in the world. we are THE OLDEST Premier League club and have a very proud history that more than matches that of Middlesbrough. This is, however, not a dick-measuring contest but you should understand that we are by no means newcomers to the top table and we more than match you in that respect. We have had players throughout our history that make your earlier list look stupid and EVERY Stoke City fan considers them to be a bigger club than Middlesbrough. No doubt we will have to agree to disagree on that one.
Fact is mate, if you think you have any chance whatsoever of getting away with patronising one of the most recognised and respected football clubs in the world...................Think again!!

Dozin...too true about us being internationally recognised.In 1992 I had a bizarre evening meal with officials and Politicians in an eastern European country.In those days there was nothing to spend your money on out there and there was no food worth eating, even for the elite.Then help arrived, for £5 I bought ten bottles of champers and the rest of the night was spent toasting Greenhoff, Hudson and Banks, all of them well known.We finished with a rendition of we`ll be with you...Fantastic night.Dont think if I had been a Boro fan it would have been the same.

durban's:
I was stationed in Holland with the Army some 20 years ago and went with a mate to the Holland/Poland world Cup Qualifier in Amsterdam. Whilst out on the pop we bumped into a large crowd of Ajax fans who just wanted to talk about Gordon Banks, Alan Hudson and Jimmy Greenhoff. Spent a fantastic afternoon with them and weren't allowed to buy a drink and they explained that, since our encounter with them in the 70's, Stoke were a very well known and respected club in Holland.
When we got to the Olympic Stadium, there were the usual flag/souvenir sellers etc and I was amazed that there were literally loads of Stoke City penants/scarves etc on sale.
DIDN'T SEE ANY MIDDLESBROUGH STUFF THOUGH!!
