drove myself into financial ruin texting in hundreds of times to win a 42" Bravia and £1,000 cash every half-time.

John Helm & Joe Royle all the way.

what a pen. So calm!

weren't we once linked with Gomez just before Euro 2008? Him and Gomis?

Mancini smacked his heed off the dugout

looks like a right f***ing charver that could well call himself Lee Cidaaaa Rydaaaaa.

'cos he's a fucking shit manager with no alternative. If the scenario came around where he was not in a job, and a mid to lower PL team were without a manager, I honestly don't think he'd be shortlisted.

can't believe they haven't got another forum that more balanced and reasonable posters use. Hang on, who am I kidding?

shift manager at work tonight is a Stoke fan, was talking to him about the game. He said we were better than them in every department and was extremely impressed by our back 5. Said if he were Pulis he'd take Guthrie off us and have him straight in their midfield! He also said last night opened his eyes that they're not going to go anywhere and have just signed 'proven' Premier League cloggers (Upson, Jones, Crouch, Woodgate) probably on high wages. Said Pulis should have dumped Delap at the end of last season and changed the style of the team as he's a terrible footballer so unless there's a throw in to be taken, they're effectively playing with 10 men.

apologies if already posted, but as .com point out, it was a perfect hat-trick tonight.

1) 2) says the person that counts down to our next game in 'sleeps'....

Oatcakes are fucking shite but they love them for some reason. Give me a saveloy dip any day. Had to explain to the numpties down here what pease pudding was the other day. Apparently you can't get it here. [/looselyrelatedrant]

'Walking in a Pardew wonderland' got an airing tonight too. Is that the first time?

Heart says 2-0. Head says one apiece.

three pound fucking ninety for a pint of piss Carlsberg too. Fucking rip off.

utter bemusement among the away end when we saw it was him coming on. Did areet. We didn't capitulate as we thought we would.

about 4 of their lot lost the plot and had to be thrown out by the polis. The PA also played that Sak Noel song, 'What the Fuck' uncensored before KO. Family Club.

they watered the fuck out of the pitch at HT. Obviously do it to suit their slick passing style.

chants of the night: 'you can stick ya fuckin towel up ya arse!' and 'Abby Clancy, up the arse' to the tune of Ryan Taylor over the wall.

just got back from the Shitannia. Had to sit on a bus full of clayheads to get back to uni. Losing my voice. Fantastic result. Fantastic support from the away end. Not a peep from 'the loudest fans in the league'. Big mention for Guthrie, thought he did excellent, especially given the pessimism around the ground just before KO. Ryan Taylor looked shaky at times against Pennant but coped. Improved performance from Obertan. His pace unsettled their back 4, especially his chasing down. A little disappointed with Besty. Good hold up play periodically but struggled to get involved. On another note, please say Sky picked up Raylor's AMAZING chicken dance celebrating Ba's third goal??

I'm in Stoke (doing my Master's here). I can confirm its currently dark, cold and beginning to get a little bit wet. The hypothetical scenario about players being able to do it in this location, in these conditions, is slowly falling into place.

never mind all that, they think they'd poach Graham Carr?! The only way would be offering him silly money, far more than you'd usually pay a scout. Its not like convincing a player to join you where you can add in all sorts of bonuses!

'caaaaaaaaaame on yoo lillywhites!'

never mind Taraabt off, they've taken Shaun Derry off. How they expect to get back into this without such a talented player I dont know.
