“TruePotter, what on earth are you on about you complete muppet... I assume you can read, but obviously just a tad slow with the understanding.. Why do my comments make the team look a joke? If the manager is saying "his head is not right" i am questioning that with all the things he has in life, how can that be. What part of that is so wrong. I hav every right to question his comitment, when I pay £575 for a season ticket, plus I am a share holder in the club. I havent critiscised Tony Pulis either, or asked or offered ant opinion that he should leave the club! I have stated openly that Stoke is kicking themselves in the foot by allowing petulant challenges to happen and getting ourselves sent off, and even the greatest of commitment from the team, 11 against 10 usually doesnt work. I suggest you read again my comments numpty head, as your particular information bears little or no resembelence to anything I said.”

“Here we go again and its the one and only Mr Pearce. GROW up lad and smell the coffee the guys done well and YES we do love him and what he as helped to doto get this club in top flight, but its people like yourself who make this great team look an absolute joke compared to the other teams that have been promoted to the Premier with us.

Look at this I am self employed I own a nice bloody car so what, he maybe on 25k per week, but so are alot of prem footballers if that was your son we wouldnt here you making any noise about it would we.
I think its about time that you so called fans stop getting on the backs of the players and start supporting them along with the manager, a few weeks ago it was get rid of Clueless then after the Man City game he is GOD again. Grow up, if your bloody legs had supporters like you im sure you would be crawling by now...”

“Well, so the messiah may return.. I have mixed feelings on this matter. Again, not forgetting what Ric has done to help Stoke gain promotion, i dont know if it is a good or bad thing he comes back. What actually suprises me is that, as people keep saying, including the manager, is that Ric's head is not right at the moment. Mmm lets see, brand new Audi R8, £25k a week, sponsorship, house paid for with no mortagage, playing a game he claims to love with a passion, and playing for a club and fans he says he adores. I can understand why his head is not right, cant you.

Basically, the question i ask my fellow supporters is, we know he can turn a game without question, but will we miss him if hes out for the season or even sold. Im tired of his moaning and lazyness when others are working hard for the team and he isnt. Dont get me wrong, if i was staging a sit down protest, he would be first on my list.

Regarding our chances in the Premiership, i believe we have showed great heart and enthusiasum when playing in this leage, but one thing is for sure, 11 against 10, the numbers dont add up and unless we improve our stupid petulant issues on the pitch, and play with spirt on an equal footing, we have as much chance as Port Vale getting into the Champonship and the being number one club in the area....
Be Loyal, Be Proud, Be Stoke”
