stoke city fire drill tonight!

Looks like the fire drill went better than ours!

 

[super-seagulls]

They were giving demba ba a lot of stick, so he put three past them so they must have been pretty pissed off. Although it is understandable considering they must endure that awful 'style' of football every game!
Watching Stoke playing is a pain in the neck!!!!!!

 

[Shooting Star]

Naylor will be throwing his toys out of the pram.

and whats with the two pitches ? One green and one white markings

Anyone else spot this ??

 

[Pumba04]

I think the 2 'pitches' is because when they play in Europe, the pitch has to be a certain size for Europa league (UEFA rules) but for premier league it's different so Stoke make it smaller to suit the 'hoof' and Delap throw ??..

 

[super-seagulls]

Yeah that's right, even though they have a decent set-up and academy at Stoke, the route 1 hoof ball style is how they play all the way through the club from the first team all the way down to the kids. It us such a shame to think that this 'style' is being taught to kids. How can our national team compete with the technical brilliance of spain when the next generations are learning to play like this?
At least Gus is implementing his style of football throughout our club.

Even the club that tb wanted to emulate atmosphere of can have an off day,they were quiet for long periods of the game and then left early! Lets remember this at the amex,you can't manafacture atmo every gameFans are getting in late because of the prematch panto that gives no time for a real atmo to build
