“Rob from Shropshire grow up !! the lad still lives local and still loves the might potters. He has earned his chance to play in the Top flight after cutting his teeth over the last few seasons in the Championship, so less of the nagativity ! lets give the former stokie the chance to prove himself eh, "humiliated" "wish he'd never turned up" show some respect have you forgotten this is a young lad who had the thought NOT to celebrate when he scored against us for scunny !! and this from a modern day footballer ! I for one hope the lads makes the grade you never know he may be back some day ! We are not one of the "big boys" yet ! so we need 3 points against Burnley so for that game lets hope he doesnt make you eat your words, but from then on he can score for fun for me. one day he might grace the Brit full time. Go on Pato !!!”

“hey rob,give patto a chance he is a stokie through and through i personally hope that he makes the grade in the premiership and scores a few...but not against stoke....”

“Come on Rob, he may come out to surprise you :P Players always try harder against their old clubs .....”

“Pato after the 90 minutes on the pitch being totally humiliated and leaving with nowt you will be wishing you never turned up,your a champuionship player at best you wont cut it with the big boy's.”

“I think it is a traditional and potentially thrilling fixture. So all you plastic supporters out there who only live for the Man U and Chelsea games; if you don't want to see Stoke V Burnley I will relieve you of your tickets free of charge”
