Well done Stoke

[BTH]

I don't think I'm "descending to levels of delusion usually frequented by the Rags and Chelski" at all, just because I'm pointing out the way you play, any more than I'm kidding myself that we dominated the game. I'm not and we didn't. However, your tactics are very limited; long throw-ins and your players writhing around in pretend agony as soon as anyone goes near them; they were particularly embarrassing last Saturday. It's hardly a huge criticism, more of an observation. West Brom excelled in this former tactic, although they tended to put 10 men behind the ball... and they still went down.

Anyway, congratulations on your informative post; after all, it can't be easy to type when you've got 12 fingers competing for keyboard space.

12 fingers maybe, but if your two fucking eyes are suggesting that West Brom were a long ball team who played with ten men behind the ball, you need to see an optician mate.


And as for rolling around on the floor at the first sign of contact, perhaps if Glen Whelan had lived up to your completely inaccurate observation, Viera would have been rightly sent off.

I used to have a lot of time for Man City fans, but I'm starting to think the gloryhunting wankstains usually associated with your neighbours have suddenly jumped ship, because some of the bollocks I'm reading here is laughable.

1) Viera may have been a bit, erm, enthusiastic but I wasn't referring to that specifically, even if you now are.
2) You obviously didn't go last Saturday; game was stopped several times when your mardarse players went down like they'd been shot and rolled OFF the pitch, only to make Lazarus-like recoveries when free-kicks/your beloved throw-ins were given.
3) There's no such thing as a "gloryhunting" City fan! Trust me; I'm 34 years in myself.
4) How much are banjo lessons by the hour these days?

I don't understand why city fans are having ago at Stoke for playing to their strenghts, ie kicking players, throw INS and having 8 men behind the ball. I'm not being sarcy and I'm sure Stoke fans will agree, city have much better players than Stoke. If they tried to play a free flowing open game they would get beat. Simple as. So they play to their strenghts and got a draw. I'd hope we'd do the same if we were them and came up against a much tougher opponent. Plus for 30mins they were down to ten men. You do what you need to do to get points from a game. If Stoke need to play like that to stay in the prem then fair enough. If Mancini needs to play his tactics like he is to get us in the top 4 then I'm sure many of you at the end of the season will accept that.

Just got back.

This is how it is. FACT!

Stoke: Hump the balls into the corners and get Fuller to chase them down, either winning the tussle or more importantly WINNING the throw-in. Then Delap comes forward and lobs the ball into the box. That's it! It's f***'in s***. It's 90 minutes of that. If the ball isn't humped into the corners, it's humped up the middle of the pitch. YAWN!!!!!

In 2010 Soke City killed football as we know it.

At least City tried to play football, even though it was another poor performance. After Stoke went down to 10 men you could actually see some proper frootball being played By City. If Stoke do deserve credit it's the never say die spirit. Apart from that there isn't much else to say about Stoke City FC.

Fuller is the loudest, most kuntish, barracking, bitching, whinging, shite excuse for a human being that I've ever seen.

I very, very, very rarely say something like this, but I wouldn't mind twatting him quite hard in the face.

Don't disagree with any of that, I think people got a bit irritated by stoke fans coming on here calling us "glory-hunting wankstains " or whatever it was.

If I want an unbiased match report I'll got to bbc.co.uk or something, if I want the stoke point of view I'll marry my sister, get a lobotomy and join a stoke forum; but I don't want that, I log on to blue moon to hear other city fans' opinions of MY TEAM
