Someone's topped Foluwashola's effort on the Shola tattoo. On Soccer AM just there, his portrait on their arsecheek.

He's an imposing figure. 6'3, solid build, and a decent athlete for his size. But the 'hatchet-man' tag is warranted, and he epitomises Stoke's aura. It's understandable why Pulis and the supporters love him. His challenge on Ramsay, as disgusting as it was, could've been written-off as an unfortunate & isolated incident. But when you throw in the challenge on Adebayor, as a collective set, the distraught & sorry enforcer display (as genuine as it was, when Ramsay went down) just doesn't sit well. It's understandable, and human nature dictates, that Adebeyor executed a bit of pay-back. Coming through United's academy system one would have to think that one stage there was a more rounded footballer inside. This relates to his time in United's reserves. I'd like to know if overly robust physical style was an ingrained part of his repertoire. Did Pulis really do his research, and forked out a couple of mill on this basis? Was this lad a carrier of this dangerous tag or reputation during his U19 and Reserves days? Or did Pulis purchase a physical package (and the attributes are impressive as a standalone or raw set), before subsequently being moulded into a 6ft 3 (and pretty athletic) wrecking machine ie. the ideal hatchet-man? 'United'. Nice.

Done. 40.5% now. Onwards and upwards.

15 seconds.

I think you're reading too much into what the Journal considers a 'shock'.

Don't hold your breath for that. You need to lighten up.

Of course the players choose what colour boots they wear. They have different colourways. I can remember Bentner championing his pink boots when Nike first released them a few years back. Said something along the lines of he 'always dreamed of wearing pink boots'.

OCK said we've been expanding the scouting network a while back didn't he? Good news if true.

This is about the only game I've ever left early. I couldn't believe what was happening. Think I actually sprinted out of level 7 in horror at DJ Campbell wrapping it up.

Good cause then. Just surreal to hear them singing a song about Forster

Same here, 4-4-3 and the points should be ours. Unless we're playing without a keeper, they might just get the points if we field 12 men.

Mentioned them? I doubt he brings up the topic tbh. If he's asked a question, he'll answer it, he's pretty straight to the point. Nowt wrong with it.

Aye it's clearly from a phone, would be one hell of a video if it was the same footage done properly like.

Gerld these last few pages like.

This has the potential to go far.

Pardew looks knackered on SSN now.

What the f*** is this?

I had a dream last night that Mike Ashley wandered into the bar I was in. He went and got himself a pint, then looked around the place for somewhere to sit. There was nowhere apart from a couple of spare seats at our table, so he sat down with us. Everyone just purposely ignored him, but he kept trying to talk to me. It was an awkward dream.

If you're after great views, then I much prefer sitting in Level 7 looking out over the city rather than looking up at the stadium. Absolutely gorgeous on a summers evening.

"Aides" :lol:

So basically we're about to witness a racist slur against Danny Simpson.

Just seen it there, it looked horrific. Shocking tackle.

His banter will be 'off the hook'. Brilliant .

At the moment, yes. Next season, I'd be very disappointed if he was our first choice. I think the majority of supporters would say the same.
