Hats off to Stoke

[Jonny Boy]

Dont' know about anyone else..

...but I have to say I have more admiration for Stoke than anger/frustration for us. As the game wore on I thought ..'Hats off to ya Stoke'. You are showing us that certain players, when we really need then to be counted and show their worth can't quite turn it on.

Why can't 11 men on £30,000 to £150,000 a week (someone else can work out the collective worth) play with enough skill, creativity, punch, to at least put shots on goal that test the keeper

I guess we still have a lot to learn about attacking football. Yeah, we played alright at times but ...??!!

argh...give it a few days and we'll all get over it.......again! Mm, I'm feeling calmer already...

PS Er,...Thank god for our home form

dick head any team in the prem could defend for 90 min instead of playing football. They are fucking embarrasing and dont deserve to be in this league i hope they go down the backwards bastards. Anyone giving that negative shite credit is insane. Glad i dont have to watch my team defend every game.

They defended fine but I can't help but feel disgust for their brand of football. Fair play to them for getting where they are with it, but its horrible to watch.

 

[Freestyler]

Knowing City we probably would of won today if stoke had 11 players on the pitch

Its dire and not even classed as football tbh. I fucking hate stoke hope that ground gets blown up with them all in it singing that shit song of theirs.

Bit early to be pissed isn't it. Stoke did a job. They went down to 10 men got a goal and defended it fair play to them.

Was going to post something similar. Thought the Stoke players showed our fancy dans up today with heart and soul. Their fans were superb, they saw our threat and realised they were defending for thier lives in the 2nd half and so lifted their team with constant noise. I don't care what you say the 12th man or rather thier 11th man today was a key factor in the result.

It doesn't take a great deal of ability to simply hack the ball 60 yards down the pitch whenever it comes to you. Once they got their gol at half time I was convinced we'd lose 1-0. They were never going to try and attack after that, and we were always going to be incapable of breaking them down. The second half was a dull inevitability. Defeats to West Brom and Stoke are the reason why we won't be in Europe next season.

Not impressed with their tactics, but they won and fuck me their fans make some fucking noise.
Most Premier grounds (ours included) are churches by comparison.

are you fucking stupid they have done it all season. They even shorten the pitch so people carnt play football fucking hell its the most amatuer team i have ever seen. City were expecting to play football its a shame teams like that regard it as another sport.
