Largely agree with this. You can see the raw skills he has but he's not put them together with a real feel for the game. So far I have been unimpressed. Right now I would not have him starting for a few games. I think Gayle will do a bit better with Campbell or Brown near him, short term. Let Delap get a bit more settled with how we play, give him some sub minutes and I think he will do well for us over the season. Im pretty sure if fit, Man City would have insisted on first name on the team sheet If I ever find out that that’s true and another team is basically picking Stokes team then that’s me and football finished for good

UEFA have apparently concluded Barcelona have followed all financial rules and are in a perfect financial position
Well that’s what happens when one corrupt organisation investigates another corrupt organisation

Remember his debut for us. Unfortunately it all went down bank very quickly
Best wishes to him

Looks like we missed out big time. Although then his methods were seen as a bit weird so would have been a risk Still wish we had gone for him

And again ……. It’s getting ridiculous. He really could end up with 50 goals in a season. In fact it’s looking a certainty

None of them. The months been a complete and utter failure and if any of them players think they deserve a reward they’re in cuckoo land

Not sure why our top scorer of last season is playing RWB, his finishing has improved beyond recognition, so we waste him as RWB. See also Mama Diouf 🤷♂️

What’s the point of fining PSG or Man City etc. they’ll just pay up and laugh. If they were serious they’d relegate them or ban them from Europe for ten years But that’s a real punishment for a big club so it’s never going to happen

Isnt that the whole point of FFP? To stop smaller clubs from going bust? I get the problems for the likes of us at Stoke - we cant spend our way into the Premier League when we want to But overall those numbers you mention suggest a great result for the clubs in Championship that we are finally starting to wake up and break-even. We just need the Prem clubs to start going bust now. I disagree. FFP is there to help keep those at the top, at the top. And clubs such as man City have many dubious sponsors related to the owners which are paying well above the market rate and thus allowing them to spend much more than what would be deemed fair for a club of their size. Yet stable clubs like Stoke which have sustainable owners and money to spend can't spend a penny because we abide by the rules and follow the book. Nailed it. Bloody stinks

Apologising for players swearing again on the Chelsea game. What a country of pathetic wokesters it’s become Has there ever been a time when TV haven't apologised for swearing on air? I cant remember it if so. Must have been a golden age for TV! Fucking hypocrites. They put on dramas and films with swearing all the way through. But have to apologise if it happens in a sports broadcast

What like Pulis united the fan base. Plenty of us hated him with a passion whatever he did. I didn’t notice much hatred from those on the pitch when he got us promoted. Not many calling for his head when we tore Bolton a new one in an FA cup semi final. Not many seemed to dislike him when they were travelling to Wembley for our first and only FA cup final. And a European Tour wasn’t a lot to moan about

Top 3 on the list for me. All are good leaders. No TP on the poll? Good job he’s retired. Dyche is the Pulis continuity candidate. Promotion, Cup Final, Europe. That’ll do

Frustratingly, its not going to be any time soon. You'd think Man City would have asked similar questions in terms of stability for their £15m rated asset and been given assurances Personally think bottom 3 at Christmas would be unforgiveable. Unless he loses the fans beforehand If Manchester City have even the slightest input as to when we change our manager then I’ve finished with football for good

I don’t give a monkeys toss if we have Dyche, Houghton, Mowbray or some completely unknown foreigner. I don’t give a monkeys toss if we play Pep football or Pulis football I don’t give a monkeys toss if we play 532. 442 424 or 1 1 8
I’m sick to the back teeth of seeing the away end celebrating victory I just want to see Stoke win bloody football games and challenge for promotion This guys had far to long to prove he can do that on a regular basis and has failed miserably
I’d take anyone now (personally I’d go balls deep for Joey Barton )

The comment regarding the top 2 I think finally shows what we have long suspected, we are happy with been a bang average championship club who every now & then will flirt with the playoffs, disgraceful But we’re not even that are we

If he was to get sacked or leave on his own accord. I do wonder where he'd end up next. Seems every recent Stoke manager does better at their next club. Imagine he'd have no problem getting another gig in the championship either. Could see him at Boro or WBA. Absolutely could see him at Boro in the future, and could see him doing very well. There you have a local owner, which he likes, but one that knows what he is doing. If he knows what he’s doing he won’t be employing MON

Best he could hope for would be a second tier club over the border

I only ever lost my wallet once, at a services - got it back with all my cards, licence etc but whichever rat found it decided to help themselves to £50 cash first. Glad you got yours back Webby. Cheers pal, I VERY rarely have cash unless I know I'm going to need it, I've got a savings account so transferred all my money out as soon as I realised I'd lost it. I couldn't imagine keeping something that isn't mine, found a tenner on the floor the other day in the range and gave it in at customer services. Think that tenner was mine mate. I’ll phone the Range now 😊😊😊

Can’t blame the guy. Did as best he could but he doesn’t belong there. Doesn’t belong in the Championship. He’s a League 2 player at best. Yet another crap signing by this clueless manager
