Edit: now I’ve read the view from, this sticks out…

“It often looks like we are a better side when a team is beating us. In reality, the other team just takes their foot off the pedal and stops taking risks. “

Yes indeed. Shame the other team’s fans don’t always appreciate that tactic, especially when it keeps working

Anyhow, as always, many thanks Roygbiv

They're almost as upset about losing as our merry set of cunts are about winning.

Almost...

“Totally undeserved, almost everything has fallen for Sheffield today, every referring decision...

There's VAR outside the Prem?

Interesting quote given they should be without souttar for their next game

Souttar should have ggone at the end

Almost...

It's not a proper win unless we get at least one Hecky aaaaaht thread as a result.

Think people need to realise for the 1st 30 minutes we actually played well and were easily the better team.

The game was almost too easy, then when we went 2-0 up, we took our foot off the pedal as Stoke slowly game back into it.

The 2nd half was kind of predictable.
Stoke had nothing to lose, so they had no thoughts but to be positive and attack, which they did.
United were stick in that "land of uncertainty", do we attack or hold on to the 2-1 win?

We're excellent at sitting back defending and that's what we did.
It wasn't pretty but we showed strength and character battling for a win, that's what promotion teams do.

So did our Jayden mate!

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

I didn't see the game today so I only had Shoutbox & the match thread for reference, as a result I am puzzled as to why the Stoke fans are not screaming blue murder & chucking huge mountains of salt in our direction & saying we are the worst team ever.

Absolutely spot on, Pal.
Even when we were 2-0 up, Berge was noticeably anonymous. It was like we were playing with 10 men. I though Illiman was incredible with the ball at his feet today.
We struggled so much in the second half (imo) because nothing 'stuck' up front with Billy having a poor time for long periods. Jebbo looks far more like the player we are hoping he will be on the evidence of the last three matches.
What I would say about Berge is, regardless of how he played today, he's still been infinitely better over the last two seasons before this season than McBurney's pathetic efforts. Look how that's tuned out this season with the form McB is in. Let's give Sander a break tonight as we won, but we know he can do better.

“I’m pretty sure we lost it because they are a much better team!

At least one decent opinion. Thanks Roygbiv

It sounds like Stoke have had many games like today where they look in the game without really doing anything. I saw them against Burnley and they looked the better side there and created far more chances but still lost.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Souttar should have ggone at the end

Laurent should have gone as well but the ref bottled a 2nd yellow having just given 2 of our players yellows for doing the same. Proper shit ref today.

I watched that game too ,they created at least three clear cut chances but never really looked like scoring

Bad sides do what they did today and against Burnley

Great Tune Roy

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I think that was who he was referring to

It's just so hard to believe that their fans could be even in the remotest bit witty, because their antics on John Street ten minutes prior to kick-off made them look like a proper bunch of clayheads.

Was going to make that point , it reminds me of our second season in the prem , teams went 1-0 up then coasted games against us knowing they’d won the game easily

“The mind Bogles”................yes and he pissed all over Stoke today.

Stoke fans are a scummy scummy lot. On the train back some were in our reserved seats and it took ten minutes to get them to move. The carriage was full of them shouting obscenities at non Stoke passengers, the worst being directed at women and young men travelling by themselves (homophobic abuse at its most horrible). Several left their seats to get sanctuary and safety elsewhere. Me and the kids kept our heads down but it was getting nasty, and we'd only been on the train 15 minutes. Luckily at chesterfield the BTP got on and sorted it so they penned them in until Derby.

I've been travelling to home games from london since 95 and this is about the worst we've had - thank god it was only 40 minutes. From what a couple of decent Stoke fans said this is typical and it spoils away days for the rest. One man commented he sees more drugs sniffed and swallowed at half time than he used to back in the rave heydays of the 90s.

Look this isn't just stoke, we have a similar problem but not perhaps on this scale. stoke & port vale deserve each other as neighbours.
