“DjofTNE I think you will find Wilko has been a Premiership footballer since May 4th 2008.
Fact!”

“Yes Whelan played better last week but I believe there are
better options now in midfield.
of course I would love to see
Stoke take the game to Chelsea, and not be in awe of them
on their own ground - try Owen up front with Crouch
for at least half a game and a winger to attack and beat defenders.
and go for a win.”

“Never said I couldn't work out who you support DJ, just said you didn't have the bottle to come out and name them. Why not go and haunt their website instead of boring us. Why would TP want to drop Whelan Vince, our midfield did well against the premierships best last week.”

“Do you come on here Vince as it's the only decent football worthy of discussion in the Potteries?
I could probably get a game down at Vale park but I am much better paid in the job I am in lol”

“So Wilkinson has accepted the ban, decided not to contest the
FA verdict, thereby admitting his guilt – the Video replay was
clear to see and so those Stoke fans who said
he deserved a ban, were correct.
Every game he plays is a potential red card and moreover,
he is just not Premier quality.
Better to play Cameron for the time being, since the Manager
never bought a recognized full back, just endless midfielders.
But the fans have Whelan and Walters to put up with on Saturday
as there is no way Mr Pulis will drop them.
After, a disappointing home result for Chelsea in midweek,
who would bet on Stoke winning this game.”

“To be quite frank MrDJtoenail or whatever your moniker, I couldn't give a damn who you support, but clearly from your comments you are misinformed and have simply jumped on the media's distorted view of Stoke and their players. Either that or you are actually Arsene Wenger.
And seeing as you don't mind free speech, you won't mind me expressing my opinion that you is a spanner.”
