So I've not bought a Stoke shirt in years (I have jumpers and other none kit related stuff but just not replica shirts). Anyway I see in the Hanley shop today that they are flogging this seasons tops for £15 so decided to pick up the away top for my holidays.
I know they are EU sizes so to buy one size up but even so, I've got it home and they are proper tiny shirts! Is this just a Macron issue or an issue with this years in particular?
I'm a large and decided to buy XXL and it's still a bit tight round the old midriff!

Without watching or knowing anything about it I assumed that it may be written by a Londoncentric BBC media type and the family that support Stoke are going to be "comically" hapless and working class. Basically unconscious bias towards Stoke as a city and football club. After doing a quick Google and checking Wikipedia I don't think I'm far off.

Whilst we were in the league, i watched most tv games, hoping for the best result which benefitted Stoke. Now i can’t see myself being interested at all, i obviously hope some teams do awful but tuning in to watch won’t excite me. I will as my best mate is from and supports Leicester, we even had a tattoo 2-2 when crouch equalised. Apart from that nah fuck that. This is the most wonderful thing I think I've read in a long time. Please post pictures of your tattoo!

Out of the 3 relegated teams I'm so happy we have gone for somebody who knows the league. Wish him all the best (bar two matches of course) but a massive, massive risk.

To be fair on Lambert he must be an appealing draw to a team on a budget like Derby. He said all the right things in the media, and between him and the the club (Stoke), we shifted enough of the blame for his performance here onto Hughes. I believe he left here not only with his head held high but also his stock is probably slightly higher now than it was before he got the job, even with our poor run of results.

Is it row as in row your boat or row as in having a blazing row with the missus? I asked that earlier in the thread, I reckon it's the argument, makes finding a rhyme harder. It should really be the first question Nige asks him Oh yeah just reread the thread properly while not half asleep, sorry! Hopefully this is what the board have been sorting out overnight, thus the slight delay!

I'd like to think that a lot of the squad would wait to see what Rowett has to say about his plans and vision for the club and see if they buy into what he wants. Also I can see a few of the fringe players or older crew (the likes of Crouch and Adam) will want to hear how Gary see's their role at the club before making any decisions.
I do believe that our squad do love the club and are genuinely gutted about what has happened, and I'd like to think that more than a few of them would be wanting to stay to help put things right.

Instead of our present or any previous manager, yes. As a sexual partner, no. I'd get behind him, both as a manager and as a sexy time buddy.

More than happy to have Huth back on a 1 year contract. He is one of the characters we missed, and we need personality and spirit just as much as technical ability this next couple of years

One thing I have noticed reading through some of the comments on BBC etc is that the majority of "football" fans (or Arsenal fans at least) obviously don't watch football and are thick as pig shit. I'm not just taking about people waffling on about Aaron Ramsey, but I've genuinely read people today going on about us relying on long throws. I'm genuinely embarrassed for them.

I think if we'd have got QSF we would have backed him massively during the Jan Transfer Window as John Coates would have had a point to prove. I think Lambert was going to do anything BUT rock the boat making player demands etc as he was just chuffed and shocked to get another crack at the Prem.

That's been the real body blow this season, it's the fact that we haven't even show a glimmer of putting a fight up. To be the first to be relegated and finish bottom in what has been a pretty poor league is just a sickener

The points we have lost from being in front and ahead in games is criminal and the fault has to lie with the manager. Yes I believe if the board moved earlier to shift Hughes, or bit the bullet and spent big on a couple of strikers in January we may have just scraped through this season but for a man whose two redeeming features seem to be getting us fitter and better organised he can't defend our position or run of form since January surely.

I'm guessing even if we go down we will stick with Lambert to try and push for promotion first time of asking. If that doesn't happen then I'd be more than happy to give Potter a go the season after.

Brighton are playing with energy and purpose. We look like we're running through treacle and totally devoid of any creativity. We're just standing around with the ball and then firing it into a packed defence from 30/40 yards out. Depressing stuff.

After having a bit of a sleep on it I have come to the conclusion we were definitely the least shit team out of the two last night.
I saw a couple of brief glimmers of football from Stoke last night, but we were mostly choked out of the game by the most snivelling group of cretins to grace the 365 for some seasons.
Points win prizes and 4 out of 6 points along with 2 clean sheets and +2gd isn't a terrible haul for the new gaffer. I think our fitness is starting to look slightly better too which will equal more points come the end of the season. I can see enough improvement for us to build on over the next few weeks and feel we now have a fighting chance, more so than we had a few weeks ago.

I remember when we got Salif Diao on loan when we were in the Championship and you could clearly see he was head and shoulders above everyone else. He seemed to play in slow motion, every pass finding it's destination. Hopefully this guy can be another good Senegalese player for us. Shoutout to the worst collar on a football shirt we've ever had. Truly horrific.

He seems like a real top bloke to work for. Everything he has done in the media so far as been totally on point, he is winning people over which was always going to be the challenge.
I suppose it is no different to giving players a second chance in the "dog home", Paul has a point to prove as is trying his hardest to prove it, and that is nothing but good news for the club.

God it's going to be Torres on a 6 month loan isn't it... You'd moan at that? Yes and no. I'll be honest I haven't been keeping a track on him over the last few seasons but he certainly isn't going to be the player he once was. However if it was a short term loan then I'd be willing to take the risk (not that it'll be me personally paying his wages). It would be a very Stoke signing though, along with the players mentioned above (Owen et al).

I never thought this time last week I'd be feeling so positive about Stoke City and the next few months. I certainly didn't think I'd be nursing a massive #Lamboner that's for sure. It's a funny old game!
