Yes, but you don't need the final 's'. Carlos' True but is not grammatically incorrect to use one, so both versions are valid. The problem only arises hear as Carlos ends in s. Using say the name Bess or Jess one would not bother with an s after the apostrophe as it would look strange even though again grammatically correct. Anyway UTT brilliant point today. And that is why I said "you don't need". |

Great result Think that’ll do you. Not yet but that's a massive booster that nobody would have predicted. Ryan Shawcross, I've always been a big fan and don't know why he's never got more recognition or with respect, gone onto a bigger club ? Perhaps he should come to us 😂 |

He might fancy it. But he’s a club legend and as stated he wants to spend his entire career with us
Mind you that was before we went down 😡

I was watching the post-game shows over here and the number of times I heard "Huddersfield" or "A-heddersfield" was quite a big number. Mind you, they were talking about Manchester City being presented with the Trophy and Arsene Wenger's last game. We're becoming a commodity. Probably unlikely, but wouldn't it be fun to piss on their chips, both of them? I hear he pay's quite well for that.  Ask Omar, he's the expert 🤔 |

Fans have longer memories than players. That said, I would welcome Shawcross here, but would also admire him if he stayed at Stoke. Enjoy the championship, Chadders, I sincerely hope its a bounce. |

One thing I've noticed about being in this league is the better class of opposition fan that come on here.
There are very few wind up merchant bell ends, if any.
All the best Chadders.

When is Shaqiri's contract up? ;-) Think he’s got two years left but there’s no question he’ll be gone He’s a good player but thinks he’s better than he is I think he’ll go abroad but if he stays in the Premier I’d think an Everton or Leicester would be his level |

Yeh. Those were the days. Just about what you’re going through now The joys of the top flight after years away.
Don’t want to sound bitter but after 10 years of knowing the best you’ll ever do is finish 8th /9th it does get a bit stale
Don’t get me wrong I’d rather we’d of stayed up but I’m not to down about playing in a league we actually have a chance of winning

Jack Butland having a go at Stoke's transfer policies. Didn't realise they had spent so much on players that were nowhere near the first team and rolling up their sleeves and fighting for the cause. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44027903It's that famous - we've been in the Premier League for several years now and consolidated our place at the top table; now we must push on and see if we can buy our way into those European spots. As usual, throwing money at it doesn't always give the expected benefits and in Stokes case, they are left saddled with some huge debts and contracts on players that turned out to be not fit for the Premier League. Hope it's not another Sunderland waiting to happen as, yet again, mismanagement at the top levels shafts the fans. When you're in that dog fight for your life, you need players to pull together and run themselves into the ground for the cause; like we saw yesterday. Too many highly paid journey men professionals who are there for their monthly pay check aren't what you need in a scrap. Shaquiri is an excellent talent and a bloody good footballer but I doubt I would want to see him in a blue and white striped shirt - another bigger than the club man and he will be off in the summer. To be fair though, Jack Butland's criticism wasn't levelled at him as he at least showed a little bit of passion when he bagged that free-kick on Saturday. |

Not sure if he's the exact fit for Town but I think he's the standard of player we should be looking at to replace any we let go in the summer. Normally I'd be dubious about taking someone on from a relegated team but then you look at a player's stats and ask if they look better than what we have in a similar playing position and in his case it would be a yes on goals scored alone. |

Shaqiri did, however, upset a large majority of the dressing room when he slated the rest of the players for not being as good or as 'at it' as he is. Do we really want that kind of person? |

Butland slating the attitude of certain players today - quite right also
Other than Ireland all Stokes players are under contract but once they sell Allen, Butland and Shaquiri maybe a couple more they'll be stuck with a lot of of overpaid footballers with bad attitudes
Can't see them bouncing back - Wimmer, Berahino etc won't fancy it when they're getting clogged around and I doubt clubs will be picking up their contracts leaving Stoke limited space in the transfer market
If Town stay up we need to take heed of Stoke. They had 100%ers like Walters but moved than on for better "quality"
Stoke go down with several unsellable prima donnas and seemingly a divided dressing room
Massive job for their next manager IMO

Then its a tough road back. I don't really blame them for having a go at it. Just not sure Hughes was the right guy to push them up the table (he's a decent enough manager though). |

Chelsea can afford that. We couldn’t |

OK, it hasn't ended well this season - but apart from the elite few, it eventually goes badly for every manager. Top half finish a few years in a row - their highest finish in 40 odd years. Blackburn and Fulham were both quite a long time ago, but got them both into Europe. Nowt to be scoffed at. |

We are going to have to find players of that quality but with a better character, and that doesn't come cheap. |
