and starmers cunning plan to deal with those 4 issues is ? At least reform have announced a plan . Why wouldn't Reform announce its Fantasies when everyone ignores them as they will never be in a position to implement them Why should Labour announce their Manifesto ahead of GE being called only for the Tory’s to nick them as they have run out of ideas themselves .....OR, would it be within the realms of possibility the either Labour or the Tories form a coalition with Reform....? If the policies of Reform ARE indeed focused on points that really affect UK daily life, they would be wise to consider this.......

This post is not taking sides at all but is just an observation. The draft terms of a ceasefire are for Israel to release Palestinian prisoners at a ratio of 10:1 for Israeli hostages that include women, children under 19, elderly over 50 and the sick. Why are Hamas still keeping children, the sick and elderly hostage? Absolutely inexcusable. Actually, why did they take any hostages whatsoever and provoke this barbaric response which they surely knew it would? It is a reminder that both sides are culpable and neither come with clean hands (unlike I suspect 99.9% who have died or been taken hostage since 7 October). We have no idea why or on what grounds the Palestinians prisoners being released were arrested in the first place, but worst case they have done nothing wrong whatsoever, something we can say with absolute certainty about each and every hostage. So why the 10:1 ratio? Now we don’t know if those are the final terms of course. But this does not strike me as a deal brokered by a genocidal maniac that Netanyahu has come across as. Quite the contrary. This isn't taking sides either but you are looking through the Telescope from the wrong end The numbers are fluid and difficult to verify but best estimates are 2.3 M Gazans are being held in an open Prison in Gaza now turned to rubble from which before 7th October they had very limited access/permission from Israeli Authorities to leave the Gaza Strip Since the 1967 War and Israeli occupation of West Bank and East Jerusalem and the construction of fencing to enclose Gaza as an Open Prison over 1 Million Palestinians have been imprisoned by Israel the vast majority without charge. That it 4 out of 10 Palestinian Men spend some period of time in an Israeli Prison www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/8/why-are-so-many-palestinian-prisoners-in-israeli-jailsThere are about 8,000 Palestinians held in Israeli detention, the vast majority from West Bank and East Jerusalem of which about 3,000 are held without charge or as it call "Administrative Detention" of these several hundred are children and an equal number of women. At the last Hostage exchange the vast majority of Palestinians released were these women and children but since then triple that amount have been "Administratively Detained" www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/29/jailed-without-charge-how-israel-holds-thousands-of-palestinian-prisonerswww.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/21/more-than-8000-palestinians-in-israeli-jails-rights-groups-sayI'm Fucking tired of people saying this conflict started on 7th October 2023 Its a proper sad state of affairs and coupled with the fact that there has been unrest for decades in the region, probably brings us to the conclusion that there will probably never ever be peace in the region..... as hard as it is to say. And yet innocent people suffer the most...... Everyone on here wishes peace in the region...... but how do you deliver rationale to these leaders...?

We all stop moaning and criticising. We all get behind the club and more importantly the team, whoever plays. We all know the last 7 years has been an utter shit show. We’re all hurting and can smell the coffee. However, this club was built on the City and the fans, never has it needed this spirit more . We have 2 choices: moan, criticise, whinge and accept defeat or stand tall, encourage, hopefully inspire the team in some way but at least be the Stoke fans everyone (some) admired and talked about as ‘loud and proud’. We, as fans, do play a massive part (maybe we shouldn’t, but we do) on players confidence, etc. They need us as much as we need them to perform. Next Saturday is now huge, more than huge, we’re in deep shit but we, as fans, CAN help by trying to put all the negative thoughts we all share to one side and just give it all we’ve got to get behind the lads, 1 point could be the difference of playing Everton or Crewe next season 🫣 Are you going to stop moaning and groaning at every misplaced pass….?, because there’s quite a few per game, or are you going to applaud a poor clearance or comedy defending…? Of course you’re not so I think the moral of this is if they perform well, fans respond in kind. If they play shit the fans will give em shit….. like most fans up and down the country do….

No point in changing in my view. A Pulis or Allydyce would do nothing with this shower. They lack physicality,mental strength and brains. Add to that a number who are just casual and you have the shitshow we have. Nothing to work with here. Were gone. This all day long….. the amount of times Ennis, Jun-ho AND the whole back 4 just got bullied off the ball today was eye opening..!!! ( That’s why I’m not a pro, I would have turned round and done a ‘Duncan Ferguson’ on em and twatted em)

Bit worrying when the commentary team are saying that the players are doing the exact opposite to what the coaching staff are telling them. I turned to my lad on the sofa when they said that and commented “ why don’t they listen”? Are his coaching methods really not worth their salt if the players just do their own thing….?

I've said on here before now stuff along the lines of 'politicians, they're all the same' and been told by the bleeding hearts that they're not, and there's some good ones out there but none of them are doing anything to change my way of thinking at the moment. Fucking charlatans the lot of them. You can’t teach stupidity to the stupid…..

Agree. They were far and away the best team in the tournament Lothar Mateus bulldozing through the Yugoslavia defence and unleashing that rocket is a great memory from Italia 90. Brehme was world class. Used to irritate me though when our commentators used to call him 'Andy' RIP Andreas. ......plus he was a very 'clean' tackler if you can call him that. His timing and reading of the player and ball and when to tackle was absolutely bob on...... CHannel 4 Sunday afternoons.....Italia football Pushing Maldini as the best left back ever.....? Its a close call....! RIP....

Im not going to preach to anyone whether they should or shouldnt go as its their choice, although the sentiment is fully understandable. I sit religiously on Stoke City + every match day knowing exactly whats coming and lo and behold....... To you all who still go then hats off to you.....to those that dont I feel your pain. Last match for me was the 5-1 away jaunt at Sunderland which cost an arm and a leg for the whole weekend. I'll make no bones about it, I just cant afford OR justify it now I'll still come on here though and be an annoying old fart !
