I wish we would either just appoint him or rule him out.
It's the hope that kills you.........

It's going to be Eustace, just accept it. I've resigned myself that it's going to be Eustace - but it's good fun dreaming for a few days before reality sets back in.

Wesley is not the answer - he is beyond bad, he cant jump or control the ball on the floor. Dreadful signing. He got an assist today - for them!

If Alex Neil's position had become untenable, did that mean he couldn't wear incontinence pants?

That exact moment summed up for me exactly where we are as a club. Disjointed and clueless about what we're trying to do. For pro footballers to be doing what not even 13 year old grass roots kids do is shocking. I was right in front of it and left just slowly shaking my head side to side wondering whether to laugh or scream abuse. I did neither, just open mouthed head shaking slowly side to side. Tarra Alex, time to go son. It also should have been done an age before. Not sure if it was Gooch or someone stood out there all on their own as soon as the ball went dead. We then waited and waited u till Bannan spotted it, waited for him to come across and make it a lot more difficult and then did it anyway. As you said... sums up the club. I was shouting 'give it to Gooch, give it to Gooch' all the time allowing Bannan to come across.....

There was 2/3 comedic moments at the back once we went to a back 3. Bannan outpacing and outmuscling Laurent was my favourite. An 86 year old midget vs a man mountain. Bannan showed everything that our midfield lacks, even at his age. Guts, determination, pace, reaction time. It’s embarrassing. Laurent is a huge wet lettuce. Surely that was Romain Sawyers.

They were the worst team I've ever seen play at Stoke - apart from us obviously.

Agreed. He’s very much something we don’t have and need though. I don't think he's worth 5m. If we had 5m to spend, which I think we have, I would rather spend it on a centre forward - which we don’t have and need.

More like £10/15M depending on what the wage situation looks like. Assuming the owners are happy to make a loss circa £13M which I think that’s what John C implies when he says they’ll invest what they’re allowed to. I don’t know how close we are to wages being limited to 70% of income and whether that would be as well as or instead of £39M cumulative losses over 3 years . We can shed a couple more big wages in the Summer with very little detriment to us on the field. Very little information available as to what the Summer signings are earning though you’d think quite a few of them would be on modest wages. If we had that kind of money we would have got the Davies deal and the Albion striker deal done I think Davies didn't fancy us and Coberan kicked up a fuss about losing the Albion striker. We got £15m for Souttar and £5m for Brown and have spent about £10m out of that, so at least £10m left.

The standard of football in all the leagues is way better now than its ever been. There is a big gap between Championship football and Premier League football but that's because the Premier League is so much better than the old First Division not because the second tier has got worse. If anything the quality of football in the Championship is as good as the pre premiership First Division barring the very best teams of the day. You've never got over the fact that we aren't one of the big boys anymore and you keep banging on about how everything associated with Stoke being shit. The real issue isn't what's out there it's just that nothing can live up to your ego. It’s awful. Bad teams that are coached poorly and can barely string 3 passes together. The reason it’s so competitive is because everyone is so bad. People just don’t like hearing something they like is a bit shit. It’s got nothing to do with ego. That’s just hilarious. I went to a league one game yesterday and it was absolute bilge. It was only enjoyable because it was Vale losing, I was with 2 Vale supporting cousins and it was free to watch. And in January I went to a Crewe game, again two sides just lumping it. Awful awful football. So you took people's advice and fucked off up the Vale! 😁

How long can we go unbeaten for? Till 2024 would be my serious ambition. there is nobody we face inbetween now and then we would expect us to lose against. I'm sure that's what some Boro fans were saying yesterday.....
