I'd be really interested to see our PL record under Pardew in games with normal rest vs. games with short rest (whether it's due to cups, rearranged games, or scheduled midweek games). If it's as poor as I think it might be then a small squad could be partially blamed, but I don't think that's the full picture. I really feel like he (and our whole coaching staff) struggles to produce a solid gameplan in a shortened timeframe or maybe something to do with motivation/focus.

You guys may find this interesting (or comical). I'll be speaking on the phone with Brek Shea and Sacha Klejstan on Friday teaching them how to use an online chat interface. Should be interesting. Think I might ask Brek what it's like living in Stoke.

I think we'll get at least a point.

Hopefully we stick another knife in this weekend.

I can't imagine things are great behind the scenes between Pardew and Hatem at the moment.

Any cool Christmas gifts for soccer fans? Books, cool t-shirts, etc.

Nice one. Probs best to avoid sitting near the majority off here. Tickets secured in the Gallowgate. So fucking pumped.

And Sissoko didn't track Brunt.

99% sure my first ever visit will be in a few weeks for Southampton. Words can't describe how excited I am.

Still one of the most depressing games I've ever seen us play, which is saying something.

That's not a fair comparison at all.

Cazorla to the left of me, Ozil to the right, stuck in the middle Giroud.

One of the most remarkable goal-line clearances I've ever seen.

If there's been a better GK performance in the PL this season I haven't seen it. Incredible.

Krul = legend. YESSSSSSSSSSS

Considering how much time wasting and sitting back we do with leads we really should practice taking the ball to the corner. Our players seem to think the goal is to get it there and then give it to them.

This will get us past 90. Fuck me....

Can't change the defense at this stage.

Their desperation to get a penalty is infuriating.

Obertan. This won't be fucking funny at 1-0.

Oh my god.

How the fuck is he offside there? Doesn't even seem possible.
