Stoke Vs City Post Match thread

They are absolutely slating him for being up our arse all game and calling Stoke, including the empty seats and the lack of atmosphere

These pundits annoy the crap out of me when they comment on this nearly every night match, they whinge its not full at kick off, knowing full well everyone has had to rush home from work or straight to the game, through shit traffic, and a few hundred don't get in in time, yet they NEVER correct themselves later when its near enough full.

Its just an easy piece of shit commentary to fill a void, and its got nothing to do with the game, and everything to do with the logistics of night games, like family stands being 2/3 full.

Francis is an idiot anyway.

Especially when they have turned up, probbaly chauffer driven, are being payed and basic having a jolly at the clubs expense.
Fucking leeches.

Somehow with us the difference between being confident or not is huge. Most of the time that is a mental issue. I like to think this is not what is going on in our squad. We fight back like no one else these last few years, but we keep getting ourselves in a trailing position too often.

Aside the individual performances or refereeing issues as a team we looked disorganized and fragile in first half. As we have been on a lot of occasions this season. And yes, often there were legimited reasons.

But we know how good we are when we do have confidence. Mourinho does for sure. The way Chelsea celebrated their last minute goal says to me they are nerve wrecking way too soon. For now l hope the second half performance gets us on a run of results in all competitions. Yaya back and hopefully Bony giving something new will help.

Greetings from stoke; as you say you we're rubbish first half class second half' just like to say lampard giving our Shelton his shirt at the end who buried his mum 2 days a go, what. A class person he is. Best wishes for future hate chelsea

I'd missed that info about the Shelton lad, wondered why he got quite such a good reception.

You called the game right. Thought you played well and I've got a bit of time for Crouch. Didn't think the Brit was quite the cauldron of noise of old though.

Joe kicked the ball out of his hands. Arnautovic stuck his leg up and blocked it. The ref played on because he had his back to it. Linesman didn't overrule.

Thanks for that as Wolfie says the tv missed it as they were showing the replay and the commentator didn't seem to know

So should it have been a free kick for us?

Yes and a booking.

Stoke and the Brittania Stadium is no easy place to go.
I'm really pleased we broke our hoodoo and even scored 4!
Onwards and upwards. Would like to see a more polished performance next game, especially the 1st period. We seem very slow an look like a pub team in the first 25 mins.
Come on City.
