Eat My Stoke

What do other Yorkshire towns have to say on the matter?

"This is a chance to show that there is far more intelligence and culture behind the hairy, arse-scratching stereotype that most people have", said the chimpanzees.

That would be an acceptable season in my book. My two (rather boring) minimum aims for next season are not being in a relegation scrap by the time late-March/early-April rolls around, and ending the season with the same manager that we started.

Debatable.

If we play at a neutral venue do both teams just combust at kick-off?

Seko and Phillips about the only positives from tonight. Stevens, Viktor and Gibson and the subs did their jobs but nothing more. All the rest below and par and collectively a serious lack of vision, creativity and movement. #scfc #stokecity

Completely justified sub - Burger has had a stinker.

We've got a few under-performers based on the personal standards they set last season (Manhoef, Bae etc), but Burger's freefall is very concerning. An absolute shadow of the player he was last season. #scfc #stokecity

Yeah the boos seem a bit over-the-top. However, I'm not sitting at the bet365 freezing my bollocks off - which I'm sure makes a difference. It was the sort of half which will be completely forgotten if we go on and win the game.

Well that was a ropey half of football. Preston did quite well to stifle us, but that's a lot easier to do when none of our attacking players are making any runs off the ball #scfc #stokecity

I went fucking mental when he scored it as well - even when Bae stopped his celebration I didn't think it could be disallowed as the 'handball' was so far back in the build up.

Difficult to tell on the TV whether it bounced up and hit him on the arm, but what I can't understand is why he lets play go on and on and only gives it once the shots goes in.

Was feeling nervous about the remaining 30+ minutes as QPR are all over us right now, but then I remembered Viktor has got to make his 15 world class saves before he concedes, so it's all good #scfc

I only managed to watch the first half with one eye on the game. Any #Stoke fans fancy clueing me in on how Sidibe played? #scfc

It does feel like we can score while not being on top nowadays. After several years of needing to dominate for half an hour before even creating a chance, it feels refreshing.

I saw your first stand-up gig and you were excellent. Although you weren't the best on the bill. There was a guy on after you who was amazing. No-one really knew who he was, but read on the internet later that it was a little monkey fella'. Went on to rob a bank later in life apparently. Mental.
