STOKE CITY
Thu Apr 11, 2013 12:01 am
had to go up to crewe last weekend for a family christing & only being a few miles from stoke went to the stoke v villa game with my son while missus & daughter went shopping.
Privately always thought if we could do a stoke for a couple of seasons in the prem & consolidate ourselves then i wouid be happy-WRONG BIG TIME. we were in the singing end next to villa fans & villa played some good football & deservedly won. Stoke were frankly shit -long ball as plan A & no other option & on what i saw over the full 90 mins they would struggle in the championship. Having been comfortable in the premier for a couple of seasons the expectation has been to move on to a higher level-the abuse levelled at pullis(who i think is a good manager for that particular job) & team in general astounded me. When we are in the prem next year & the years after that-- more importantly-lets not forget the dark days in the lower leagues playing the likes of rochdale & tranmere.

A fair point and maybe they deserve each other, waddle
Not a Wales FC fan myself (or international football for that matter) but I dislike Stoke City and their horrid obnoxious fans almost as much as I dislike you Jacks. In fact, I would take pity on a Jack before a Potter; the difference being your lot are a simple and blissfully ignorant lot, whilst those Potters are deliberately just plain tw**s!
