Amazing how many other supporters seem to think we won’t go down. Having watched every week we have somehow managed to put together the most useless and spineless set of “footballers” I’ve ever seen Probably the worst squad I’ve seen in 60 years. We are really that bad Good. We're still going to need as many teams as possible below us come the final reckoning. |

It is mightily close down there. Only Rotherham look a safe bet to go down

It's the first time all season we've been above Stoke and some fans are acting like we're fine and Stoke are fucked.
Wake up.

Let's be honest, Rotherham are already down so it's 2 from 9 who could drop into the remaining spots. Despite the fact that they seem to win every week, we're still only 3 points behind Plymouth. The teams above them on 44+ I think are well safe. |

How are stoke doing with ffp? They seem to spend loads, but never really sell anyone for a big price Been hampered by it. And yes we’ve spent a lot but have you seen the shit we’ve bought |

When you have money to spend there seems to be less pressure on getting a signing right because other signings can make up for it but when you have no one to make up for the bad signings than the recruitment was shit and you end up in the shit |

No matter who pumps the money in and how many chest wanker gobshites they have at the end of the day its the genuine supporters who turn up every week that get shafted. |

I think we all know how precarious our position is especially after the set of results yesterday. But, if I had to put money on it, I think we’ll be okay, going off our form and run of fixtures. I’m sure they’ll be a lot of twist and turns to come. I’m thankful Warnock can’t come in to another team around us! |

And yes we’ve spent a lot but have you seen the shit we’ve bought It’s time overdue that players receive only a base salary of around 25 - 33% with the rest being performance based: how many games you play, meeting your individual goals and overall team results. There’s way too many grifters. |

Our squad would be on minimum wage this season I may be completely wrong with this analysis but it looks to me like Stoke entered this season with fuck loads of new signings and very little in the way of retained players. Team not gelled? |

Team not gelled? We did indeed Not so much a case of not telling. More the fact that out of 18 new players 16 turned out to be useless |

Does anyone know how long it takes to get back to Stoke station on the shuttle buses after a game? I quite fancy the trip to the Potteries on Easter Monday, which I never thought I'd be saying a few weeks ago.

If you wait till the final whistle you can add another 10 minutes waiting |

If you wait till the final whistle you can add another 10 minutes waiting For anyone driving I wouldn't recommend parking in the industrial parks around the ground. We left a few minutes early in the PL when we were 2 down and not looking like getting back in the game. We hadn't moved an inch by well after 6 o'clock. Never again. |

Last time I went to Stoke I used Just Park to use someone's drive which didnt look far away but with the convoluted road system and bridges across the main road (had to be on wrong side) it took an age to actually walk to the ground. Vowed never to go back.

Vowed never to go back. Park on Kingsway car park in Stoke town centre. Two good pubs within 100 yards. Then get the shuttle bus to the ground and back. Much quicker |
