Yes it does providing Man City don't win the FA Cup and also fall out of the 4 top spots for a European place.
Brilliant isn't it???? We were playing Brighton in the lower leagues not so long ago and now potentially Europe. Gives hope to everyone don't you think?
What I don't get is why everyone jumps on the Hoof Ball bandwagen when discussing Stoke. Yes there is a bit of that but if you watched the game yesterday, in particular the first 20 mins you would have seen both Etherington and Pennant ripping West Ham apart down the wings with good final balls...
your impossible
Stoke fan here. Thought I would have a look to see what abuse you guys would send our way after today. I was not to be disappointed. what's Leekbrooks problem with Stoke?
Anyway I thought it was a good old fashioned game today lots of incidents and talking points. Far better...
So would I Clapham so would I! Reality is this however.....
When we made it to the promised land 3 seasons ago Man U had just purchased Berbatov for 30 million. That figure at the time represented more money than Stoke had spent in total on all transfers in their 140 year history. Aspiration is...
Brighton is a work in progress for Gus Poyet and the mid term report is definitely A+ so far and that is magnificent for the supporters especially after what you have been through for the last decade or so. Some of the comments however suggest some of you think you should be eating at the top...
Point taken Monkey, perhaps that comment was a little exaggerated but then do you think your current team is genuinely strong enough to challenge for promotion next season in a higher league never mind hold there own in the Prem. Blackpool look like being sucked down again now they have been...
Jesus guys. 3 nil up at half time without breaking sweat and a second half of energy preservation in preparation for our next domestic game at Arsenal. It was a stroll in the park today for us and your full team would still have lost easily. There is a huge gulf between us and the top 5 teams in...
Evening Brighton fans.
Maybe "massive" was errr, well a massive word to use to describe the fitness element but I still believe it plays a big part. In the Premier you are playing against some of the worlds best players and your own technical ability won't usually get you through unless you...
There are buses laid on from the train station to the ground. Come out of the station, turn right, to the end of road turn right, under the bridge, over the bridge, turn left and just down there by the church. Seems complicated I know with all the bridges etc but its about 5 mins walk and a good...
Earlier rounds Pulis does field a weakened team. I think now that we are getting to the business end of the competition, and with the utmost respect to Brighton, I think he will feel confident of winning this one on home soil and will field a full team. The last thing he will want is a draw...
Hove Stokie here
The Tuncay thing has just about every Stoke fan scratching their heads. He oozes quality, makes things happen from nothing and runs ( very fast ) all day long.
My only explanation is that he just doesn't fit the Pulis mould of 6'4" big daft and clumsy. I think he will possibly...
Hove Stokie here
Ok guys read some of the more "mature" posts from last night ( The cyber warriors obviously banished to bed ready for school today) and thanks for some acknowledgement of what we have achieved against all the odds.
We are not a big club, pretty much on a par with Brighton...
Hove based Stoke fan here.
Wow guys, I am shocked by some of the comments on here, totally shocked to be fair. I think some of you are getting a little above yourselves aren't you! Don't forget you have been slumming it at the Withdean for god knows how many years and it has hardly been an...
