“Don't get too comfortable Ged! You're back on here for three reasons:
1. For our amusement?
2. Cos there's little news at this time of year.
3. Cos it's the season of goodwill!

It's not for your editorial nous or your topical comment that's for sure! New year, same old negativity!”

“It is me Frank from South Cheshire the one and only. I was kicked off the site for speaking the truth but they have let me back on now. I will continue with my honest opinion of Stoke and at the moment I am extremely concerned with how things are panning out . Sonko, Cresswell, Pericant, Griffin should be the first lot out the door and for crying out loud get some wide men in instead of this boring predictable hoof the ball up field and hope and oh the long throw in as well which by the way is the only reason Delap is playing as he is not premiership quality.”

“It is clear out time---too many overpaid--under achievers for my liking.Clear out the dead wood ,cut the wage bill and get in the position that we can pay whatever is needed to get some quality in.Mediochrity is killing this club.”

“Nice to see you are back Ged---it is the real origenal Ged I hope----and for once I absolutely agree with you.
With all the defenders and mid fielders we have signed I cannot for the life of me see why anyone should be played out of position.The reports are that there are more to come-----help!!!
We need a pacy left winger and a striker to finish them off.I do not believe that Fuller should be our first choice,he will never be prolific but he will always be tempremental.Quite a good man to have on the bench with the occasional ability to change a game----especially if he is hungry for it.”

“Me and my Uncle Bill have been talking. We feel a bit of youth might help up front - perhaps a small Jamaican winger as well. Our problem is we don't think TP and his team will agree so my Uncle Bill has agreed to get back into training for a return - he last played on Wolstanton Marshes some 20 years ago!!”

“if pulis had not wasted 19 million on players he wont play we might not be in this mess with pericard the only striker.you stick with your fav's tone,see you in the championship”

“tp ive cancelled my new year party and im in training to go up front instead of pericant,im also offering to take liams dog out instead of liam,for rest of season,oh my god i must be drunk,ho ho and merry new year to all us stoke faithfuls,2 strikers and 2 midfielders we need,and off load at least 6 players,want to see more of pugh,whelan soares and tonge .go to start using more attacking options,come on tp bring some rabbits out of the hat.”

“Pericant up front our only striker my god how bad is this remember Pulis brought him in and he is one of the worst players i have ever seen even worse than Dave Bamber we are doomed i say doomed.”

“Stoke are suffering a tough time of late. But stick with the team and tony pulis and we will pull through. Its an obvious comment to make but Stoke are fighting against relegation this season and as such at times we will be in the bottom three. Look at the clubs in this division and the money spent at other clubs this year and the players on the team sheets. With the results we have made I think we will stay up and Tony Pulis and Peter Coates have done a great job to get us here already. When Tony took over in the championship we were favourites to go down. Within two seasons we are premier league. Thats where we will stay! 3 points off 12th place is not as bad as it seems. We got a point at Anfield and some tremendous results already. Stick with them and stop moaning, its hard but just enjoy it! The right buys in january would be nice. Then concentrate on improving the squad next season when we stay up.”

“Does antone know what has actually happened to Kitson, is he coming back to fitness? there has been nothing said in the press anywhere, is he going back to Reading, its too quiet for my liking, a £5.5m striker and not a word from the club........i think he's off”
