I really don't see how you can come to that conclusion. We're 4 points clear with only 2 games to go and 7 teams below us with Birmingham having to play Huddersfield. It would take a miracle for us to be relegated now. How long have you been a Stoke fan? π€£ πππ

Stoke Women beat Baggies 2-1 at the Bet365. we nearly always beat west bronm Are we allowed to call Women women now a days? Is it belittling? Sorry I am confused. π

When this is eventually sought out the ticket office is going to be inundated. I am sure that many are waiting to renew there ST depending on which division we are in next season. Div 1 holds no appeal to me I am afraid.

Coventry v Manure. For the first half I have spent more time scrolling through the Oatcake.
Big decisions to be made. Second half or Fulham v that other team??

Strangely I thought the linesmen were ok.
So many games this season they have been abysmal. Several offsides yesterday would have gone un flaged with the the below average officials we normally get.

Pre match I thought thank heaven we are going to have a good reliable Pl Ref and he has only been appointed for a purpose as it was a vital "six pointer".
Well I was wrong and it really was a poor performance.
Is he out of favour with the PL and was this a step down to test him?

Back in the good old days π there would be a player on both posts for corners and some free kicks. As soon as the ball is cleared the entire defence would move out as fast as possible. Still think it would work at our present level.

I would not be surprised if some PL teams comes sniffing around close season.
BJH zand Burger could attract a lot of interest.
Personally I think we should do our utmost to hang onto them.They should be a major cog in our much-needed rebuild. Silly offers ofΒ£10mil or less should be rejected quoting a min of Β£20 mil which hopefully will keep the vultures away.

It's that time of year again. The build up this week has been really interesting with some excellent interviews and press conferences. I have been watching for years and never realised untill Tiger said yesterday "It's a really tough and tiring walk. Basically you are playing on the side of a hill".!!
The competition starts on the back nine on Sunday was another thought that struck me.

Looked it to me. Not the pass for the goal but the initial pass, he looked way off. Having just seen on sky I still canβt decide if second pass fractionally off, first pass looked ok! In front of us in block 16 and everybody was screaming off side. Wondered if he wasa PL lino used to VAR? He flagged for everything after that.

40 MPH is about 35 knots a full force 8 gale.βπͺοΈ Anybody in the squad with a long throw? Pre match I thought few of this squad and SS have never played at the 365 when the wind blows. They handled it really well. First half high balls over the top were stopping and dropping mid air. Created several awkward moments but unfortunately we never capitalised . The best game and crowd atmosphere I have seen for some time.π₯³

Forecasting a full gale blowing straight through the two open corners and swirling around the ground. Could be a major factor ? Looks blowy doesn't it? 40 mph or so. It's the fag end of Storm Kathleen over Ireland I believe. 40 MPH is about 35 knots a full force 8 gale.βπͺοΈ

I recall a very windy mid week game in the PL. I did not bother going as I thought "They will never play in this, it will be postponed" Much tomy suprise they did play and I missed the match. The descission I would imagine is down to the officials.

I really don't care for any of them.
For the first time I am seriously considering voting for None of The Above.

Slightly off topic but did anyone hear the guy on P&G who phoned in from the pub in Leek? Comedy gold! It took me a short while to work out where he was sitting in the ground to watch the game. "The chap sitting in front of me with a pint of lager, and the lady drinking Gin and Tonic thought we were poor in the first half" π

Anybody fancy trying the job?
Two hours or more of total continuous Ad-libbing talk and remaining interesting and engaging in conversation is quite difficult.
The guy has improved and I have noticed that he is slowly becoming a Stoke fan using pronouns such as We etc.

Just been watching the Luton v Spurs game. Excellent drama, still 1_1
Should Luton get relegated, and retain their squad, they will walk the Championship.

It's a pity that some one like yourselves can not get into Ricardo's which would be a ideal experience for you.
If you are about maybe try and appeal to the ticket office. Early as possible on Sat morning I would suggest.
Having said that good old fashioned English pubs nearby are an experience worth having for visitors from the USA.π
ENJOY.

At half time people were expressing concerns about the Referee but overall I thought he was quite good. Obviously a PL experienced official and far superior to some of the rubbish we have had to endure over the last few seasons.
