The fact that they play unattractive football doesn't make them shit, they're still better than we were under Pearce and with a similar budget to what we had then. The joy of our league is the difference in styles. That's what makes the best teams the best, the fact they can mix it up - unfortunately we can't yet.

They beat us in extra time. Over the four games we have beaten them once and drawn the other three, twice at the Britannia. And if it wasn't for (Gordon) Bennett, I'm sure we would have either beaten them or at leaset taken them to the lottery of penalties.
Don't make Stoke out to be something they're not.

we're not in the cup, they are ... that's still a loss is it not? Just leave them to it. Let them play the football that they play. Not once did I say 'Stoke are amazing' did I ?
Take off your fucking Manchester City spectacles and appreciate football for what it is, a game of varying styles of play. There's absolutely no need to try and abuse them because they don't try and play like we do with players like Fuller.

Well said? Your taking sanction in us "taking Stoke to the lottery of penalties"? Fuck that. Credit wheres its due, they've been the better team a the Britania and instead of moaning about the result, people have resulted to moaning about Stoke, because they know we have nothing to complain about.
If that football gets them beating ourselves and Arsenal then good for them, they as fans dont seem too bothered by it, just be glad thats no longer us and concentrate on our shortcomings, not other clubs.
