Stoke fans will get frustrated soon. They've gone as far as they can with their shitty style. It's stay where they are or most probably drop down. I'd hate being served up that disgraceful football week in week out.

They love it though. With their Kick and Rush t-shirts and their Swing Low Sweet Chariot, its like a stadium full of Biggi.

I think they're content as long as they manage to stay in Premier League, but sooner or later they'll have a poor season and go down. There won't be much to be proud of without the top-flight status. Until then they should be grateful that clubs like Arsenal exist. We generate the money that keeps them going. No one has ever turned on a tv to watch Stoke play.

I know this sounds ridiculous.

But in the Summer I was talking to a family friend who used to play football for WHU in their youth systems. I asked him which players he played against who he was most impressed by and one of them was Ryan Shawcross when he was at United. This guy is a gooner as well.

Indeed, if he'd moved elsewhere he could have been a quality defender.

Quality defender? He's not that type of player.

One Biggy Biggi,
Theres only one Biggy Biggi,
One Biggy Biggggggi.

I keep reading that Stoke fans are getting more and more frustrated with Pulis. He's spending loads each season to get them as boring and mid-tabley as possible. Obviously he's in no danger of the sack but he's wasted so much of the Chairman's money...

We should take shawcross and Wilkinson off them, could be inspired like when we took bould and Dixon off them

Yeah, that would be a problem.

Huth's better anyway.

Still hope they get relegated

Somehow I don't think Shawcross would gel with the rest of our players.

Football is a funny old game, there are plenty of incidences of players who were disliked by the supporters of another club ending up there, Owen, Schmeichel Tevez- Silvestre!
And then theres managers- Rafa at Chelsea- wtf??

If Fat Sam or Pulis ever became Arsenal manager..............
