Match Report: Manchester United 4 -2 Stoke City

“Answer the questions potter!”

“Answering to Soccerfoot again then PP...and as I say, I was using YOUR logic not mine. I actually realise that it isn't as black and white as that.”

“So dap, to follow your logic, what you are telling me is that everybody that goes to a Stoke game, especially on the road where we lose most of the time, that sings are doing so because they are all approving of the loss and the performance ?
Your bent agenda to just say anything to the contrary of what I say is never more apparent than after that post !
jpj how dare you say anything that is true and real on here, don't you realize that you could possibly give a heart attack to the likes of life, speil and dap for saying such things ??
jpj I could not have said it better myself”

“So Soccerfoot. Singing has nothing to do with approval or disapproval? I guess that when Stokies chanted "Mills Out" and "Ball Out" in the past, and Blackburn's fans went into meltdown over Steve Kean, it wasn't because they disapproved? Just using your logic mate.”

“Then potter I will have been taken off for good reason. Whats up dont you like the insults back again? If you live by the word Poter! - so you were at the game were you?


Which Man Utd ex player came on the pitch before the game?
What was the entertainment at the beginning of the game?
What was the scoreboard used for before the game and at half time?
Who did Sir Alex praise in his notes in the programme?
What was the name of the Lager sold at OT?
Which two Stoke players had their names sung more often than the others? (And that one is the easiest of the lot!)

Prove it once and for all!”

“I agree with you to a certain extent JPJ. I agree that Stoke went into the game with a positive approach and for most of the first half Stoke were the better team.
Stoke could have been two or three up during that period but we didn't take our chances and we paid for it later. Man U, hate them or loathe them, are good at that.
I like the progress Stoke have made under TP and I will be forever grateful to the man. I believe that is called loyalty. I think that after the games we've been in so far we ought to be looking quite optimistically towards the future. There's really no point in deriding the players that have done so much for us. We can all see the limitations of each and every one. I thought Charlie Adam had a great game, along with Michael Kightly and I also see what JW brings to the table. Sorry to say but I like his movement. He attacks with intelligence, creates openings for others and he's been unlucky when in position for himself so far this season.
It would have been great if he'd scored. We would have been two up and we may have nicked it. However it wasn't as easy as it looked, it was on his left peg, he was being closed down, De Gea was perfectly positioned plus he hasn't scored for a while.
As I say, I love the Potters; and the way we took the game to Man U at Old Trafford was heartening for me. It will be difficult in the upcoming games. Sunderland and O'Neil are tricky. Norwich are finding some form. QPR have a squad that ought to be competing. You have to be wary of Jol and Fulham. So there are no guarantees. If TP negotiates this season, which is by far the hardest yet, for me, he will have performed miracles! (Having said that West Brom is 3 points bagged)
All you part time fair weather so called fans can eff off!”

“ouch”

“Some very strange comments among the Match postings on here.
Just to remind the pro-Pulis Supporters - Stoke lost
Man Utd won comfortably.
Stoke flattered to deceive for the first 25 minutes, but by the time
Walters missed the best chance of the game and Adam's shot was saved
by De Gea, then, inevitably, Man Utd. toook control and the
difference in quality was plain to see.
Uncharacteristically, the Jolly Green Giants of Stoke's defence were
exposed and their fate was sealed.
Etherington peaked 2 seasons ago and now cannot beat any defender.
So the wing play is virtually gone, along with Pennant. Kightly (credit
for the goal he scored, brings back memoreis of Terry Conroy) still has
not shown himself to be a winger, which means, pace, beating a defender
and a good cross into the box. Why a fit Owen did not start up front with
Crouch, mystifies many supporters. Crouch's strength is his heading ability,
not his ball control, which is not as good as many fans think.
Wilson will never be a natural left back and
he seems to get lost when he gets further into the opposition half. Unlike
Cameron who is happy to move into the opposition half and send in a cross.
Enough has been said about Walters who peaked around the same time as
Etherington and is now, at best, a Championship player, along with Whelan
and Whitehead.
As long as Mr Pulis remains in charge, Stoke willl never win at Man Utd.,
Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. The best they can hope for is
a point from these teams, when at home. So its back to a 40 points target
against the 'lesser' teams and bottom half finish again.”

“Peter/EVA/foot- Depending upon which identity you choose to use, you have made the following recent comments:

1. That you were at the game on Saturday
2. You watched it on your 50 inch plasma screen at home
3. You were in a bar, surrounded by Man U fans

Report me for abuse if you like, but this makes you either a pathological liar, David Blane or Doctor Who?

Trouble is 'foot (and that is a good name because you trip over yourself sooo many times) you post so often that you tend to forget what you have said in previous posts.”

“No its not ok as you don't support scfc. You just moan about everything all the time. Don't you think you spoil other people's enjoyment on this web site or do you just not care. I think I know the answer. I don't know why you are getting upset by other people's comments as you seem to enjoy upsetting people and making them angry.”
