In the absence of Roy:

“Anyone know what that scuffle was about in the Stoke end last night?”


“There were 4/5 youths down the bottom left hand corner goading the Sheff Utd fans in the next stand. A bit of banter ensued but then the stewards got involved and they were just generally being a nuisance, refusing to sit down and gobbing off. An older Stokie with a bald head went over, basically told them to wind their necks in and sit down which resulted in a scuffle, the bald fella then stuck the nut on one of them and it kicked off. “

“Amusingly the stewards kicked the 4/5 youths out and the bald fella just casually sat down in his seat and carried on watching the game. It was what could only be described as "handbags" - over a meaningless friendly FFS...”

“I am very worried if we start the season with what we have got at the moment. 4th from bottom would be a good result with this team.”

“Smash and grab. Biggest miscarriage of justice since Deidre Barlow was banged up for jack shit...”

“Good result. A nice little reminder to the suits upstairs.”

“Oh no relegation here we come “

“Decent workout was that....”

“Not looking to good is it being honest even with all the changes we should still have enough to beat a team thats just been promoted. Some major work to do & the seasons getting closer. No panic it's a shadow team we've all the big players to come back yet , oh hang on a minute , never mind we can fall back in the old guard we wouldn't let them go without replacements , oh hang on , still there is always the parachute payments , “

“a summer of mind boggling imcompetence , takes another turn for the farcical .”

“Seems like it but where are our goals coming from? He picked his first choices tonight”

“I honestly laughed when I saw the first goal. Seriously how can somebody do something so wank!! If that was Sunday league you would get slated by the lads and be reminded of it every time you went back the pub. Fuck me Ryan that is beyond awful”

“Samaritans are gonna be busy tonight,see you tomorrow.”

“Ryan is done! His back has been crumbling for 2 years or more now, don't blame them not offering him a new deal, time to move him on and bring in some new blood.”

“No wonder we haven’t offered Shawcross a new deal yet with ‘defending’ like that! He was fucking shite against Monaco too!”

“Ryan has looked awful to be fair. What the fuck he was doing for their first goal i'll never know, let it bounce and then fluffed the header that wasn't on on anyway.”

“If the season started tomorrow I'd be concerned, weakened squad from the end of last season. Luckily it doesn't and we've got time to recruit some quality players and boy do we need it.”

Sheffield United “ looked very good on the ball, carruthers i thought played very well first half. Yeah it certainly seems Wilder has a very focused plan which has worked very well to date, assisted greatly by good young players coming through the academy. Far from whats going on at Stoke, seem to have no real plan, have finally cleared out the old guard but dont really seem to have replacements coming through anytime soon.”

“Cheers for the tip about the Sentinel Brewhouse on Shoreham Street - we went in there and I thought the beer was excellent. I thought your Carruthers was a good player. Hope you have a decent forthcoming season.”

“I think Hughes started with his available "first XI" last night and had it not been for Shawcross's and Johnson's woeful play it could have been very different.”

“Would it be worth a cheeky bet on the Blades sneaking promotion, probably via the play-offs. It's entirely possible - both Norwich and Southampton got back-to-back promotions from league 1 to the prem within the last few seasons...”

They're a happy lot aren't they. It's only a friendly. How can they talk of incompetence when they're in the PL and have been for about ten years? I know they've got a bit of history but they're not Man U. They seem to have developed Charlton syndrome. I hope I don't ever read comments like that from our support if we ever get back into the PL.
They've got a player as good as Shakiri playing for them. I doubt they've had anyone that good since Matthews.

Foxy, ban him.

I think we should try to hang on to him but, if we have to let him go, good look to the lad that's what I say.

PS? How much do you think we should ask if PorkTalk want him ?
