It seems only 2 minutes ago since you beat us in a FA Cup final and we were all off to enjoy our summer hols..... but shit a brick, we're here again.....the season kicks off this weekend and i'll look forward to another season of success and banter ;-)

Good luck and see you at the Brit ;-)
 
Cheers lads :-)

Quietly confident about chelsea although probably get a spanking.

As for Europa....a great experience for our club. Beating Split was brilliant but two more games yet before we even reach group stages.........it's hard not to love it though especially as the last time we played in europe was almost 40 years ago!!

You boys confident of a result against Swansea then?
 
Swansea are sitting ducks, we will shoot them down. 4-1 to the blues is my prediction. Good luck to stoke, always had a soft spot for ya.

Swansea, if try to play flowing football as they pledge to do, will come unstuck in the prem because they just don't have the players to do it against the likes of yourselves, manure, arsenal etc.

You will spank them monday i'm sure.
 
Much appreciation of Stoke, good luck on the club.
Looks like the team could shape up nicely, some good signings this summer.
Cheers fella.
 
yeah good luck Stokie. Never really had any sort of feeling for Stoke before the final. When you lot stayed behind at the end you gained massive respect. Complete opposite to the rags who were all back on the bus home before the final whistle.
Hope you do well in Europa, some of the away days you can expect will be brilliant. Considering the players you bought, the way you play against the big boys, your support and your manager i think you have a good chance of qualifying again.
hope we dick you home and away though! haha
 
This close season seem to going on for ages but only a few more days left now

good look for the europe and see you in May again
 
Will be supporting you all season in the Europa - good luck. You seem to have made some good signings, and are in the hunt for more, this could be a very good season for you, as long as they gel quickly (oh, and track back).

Ancient City fans don't do confidence, Shafter! Hope, plea bargaining, prayers, negotiation - stock in trade characteristics. Thing is, there are probably nobbut a couple of 'neutrals' who would want a City win! Blackpool last season, Swansea this!
 
Did you go to Split pal? Hope the Potters had a cracking time over there....I hear it can get a bit fruity.
 
Ah Shafter me old mucker. How's tricks?
I don't want to piss on your oatcakes, but I just have a gut feeling your lads might struggle a bit this year, especially with the Europa group stage looking likely. It's mportant to have a big squad for that and I see Pulis has been busy, which is good.
But do you worry at all, with the signings of Woodgate and Upson, that someone like Spurs or Liverpool might be coming in for Shawcross? He's certainly good enough.
Sincerely hope I'm wrong on all counts. Good luck for the season, fella.

Shafter, Owaya?!

It does only seem like last week we played you twice in four days. I do enjoy the summer break, it builds excitement again for footy and I enjoy spending time watching rugby league. But I'm proper ready for the new footy season now, City are the last game of the weekend though. Hope you beat Chelsea!

And hey, I've got no doubt that you can reach the latter stages of the EL. Boro did it, Fulham did it, Rangers and Celtic have done it. Okay none of the four won in the final but all four were probably mid table Prem team standard.. If they can get there, you can!
 
Cheers all.

Lets just hope that this season you can knock Manure from off their smug perch.

Was unable to go to split away because of the pennies but a couple of mates went and had a fantastic time. They managed to avoid trouble but throughout the 3 days but had to watch their backs and some stoke fans were'nt so lucky.

I will definately be going on an awayday if we reach the group stages though.

Upson and Woodgate i'm happy with providing we keep hold of Huth and Shawcross to give us strength in depth. Offers have gone in for Crouch and Palacios and we've have indeed been linked with Barton and you're very own SWP. Should be interesting.
