Stoke City FC

It seems so, yes. I'm not sure why he couldn't make the next step up to performing regularly, perhaps a lack of effort in training or something behind the scenes which meant his head wasn't in the right place, or that he just wasn't given the opportunities by the manager to fulfill his potential. I also wish him well, there are some players that leave and you almost don't care about, but he seemed to be a nice enough fella!

It seems Diouf might be starting to find his shooting boots!

Very interesting article on Bojan and why he's not helping us right now. What do you other Stoke fans thinks? I'd personally prefer to see him left out for a few games at least.

Great effort by stoke tonight.  Destroyed those geordies should have won 3 or 4 but for poor finishing.  Need to tighten up a bit at the back (Huth always a big miss) but very positive about another top 10 finish this year esp given how dreadful Newcastle are.

You must watch a different game in Hungary than me!  All Stoke did all night was tear your defence and midfield apart with pace from every angle.  As usual the ref doesn't give us a stone wall penalty to seal the game after 30 minutes.  It can't be easy being BITB and watching your team destroyed by a rugby team though i appreciate that!

Only just read this. Just lol.

Even though the mackems did us on saturday I did enjoy the chant:

Don't sack Pardew, Alan Pardew,
I just don't think you understand,
That if you sack Pardew, Alan Pardew,
You're gonna have a riot on your hands.

Also let's hope these online petitions actually mean something! Do the clever thing Lionel, a future on the bench behind Jon Walters awaits you!!

Slightly off topic but one for the stoke locals.  Is this the same guy who was/still is a croupier at Genting?  Assume it is unless he has a twin brother.

The last time I was at genting stoke he was still working! If he's still there this will make for some great table talk

Interesting article from the Sentinel. The mighty potters are not so much a 'small' club any more it seems. Just proves how much Premiership survival is so important nowadays.
