“A few years after I started supporting Stoke we were midtable of the old 3rd division. Now we are midtable of the top division and building up a club for the future. Would you rate Sir Alex as a bad manager if you looked at all the signings that went wrong, and ignore the ones that go right? Whinging fans, WIND YOUR NECKS IN.”

“Matt Longton dont try to lecture me on Stoke I have been down Stoke more times than you have had hot dinners during the good times and the bad and i certainly aint going to dissappear like Cresswell should. Every time that clown touches the ball next season i shall continue to boo him.”

“Isn't it funny Neil & Ged are back commenting on here after the poor pre-season results we have had and the lack of signings. Where were you when TP was guiding us to 12th in the Prem?? The most negative 'fans' I have ever come across. Do us all a favour and disappear for another 12 months.”

“Neil, Newcastle, Coates is a excellent business man and i am sure he knows what he is doing. We are not going to attract top players to the BRIT. We dont have the money and even though i am a born and bred stokie it's not the place where top stars want to live for obvious reasons. So we have to go for the likes of Whitehead, Beattie, Delap buying lots of good little palyers,and build a strong team mentality as well as having the fans behind us at home which kept US UP last season. So all dream on about your big stars cause they are not going to happen....KEEP THE FAITH IN TP.”

“Tim, you're one of these so called fan's "I use that word lightly" who don't mind clueless spending millions on second rate "Football player's" if he does continue spend on "rubbish" we will end up like Newcastle, Charlton, Leeds etc.”
