Roy's View From... View From Stoke

View From Stoke — The View From

"I think I rationalize this result by thinking Sheff Utd were a reasonable side. Did more than us on the day but I don't think they are a better side than us based on what I have seen from us this season (Sheff U fans might say that their performance today was just average -

First!

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I'd already read it on the View From site itself, meaning I was the first really. So knickers to the rest of you.

Quite decent from the Clayheads to be honest.

 

[Weston blade]

Cheers Roy

 

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers roy, thought they would be a bit more congratulatery towards us but after a loss would we have been

 

[Kop sufferer]

As reasonably fair collection of comments as I've read in a long time

 

[HD8 Blades]

Sensible bunch

 

[Davalon]

Mostly fair comments imho.

Agree with the empty seats too. Seemed a good few in the away end for a sell out.

Maybe they got arrested pre game.

 

[Bobby b]

Stoke fans come across a decent bunch, both their pre match and post match comments are pretty fair, its nice to see

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

After our dominance of the first half it was almost inevitable they would score and our heads did seem to go down which made the final outcome surprising.

 

[Muttley]

Fair comments. I expected a bit more bile coming from them as they aren't the nicest of fans in general.

 

[Hartley Hare]

Very civilised, quite refreshing.

Think the Stoke fans deserve some respect from yesterday.

Nowhere near as nobheadish as Derby but still rowdy and made a good atmosphere. There were some tame banter between the South and Away stands and I only saw one of those "cmon then...no you come here then...no you here" type of 'confrontations' after the game.

They sang a song slagging Steve Bruce off which was funny. Not sure why they'd have any dislike for him?

 

[nickwr37]

I watched the game live. EFL highlights were more encouraging and slowly but surely we're starting to gel.

Cheers Roy, glad to see you have a new slate and some chalk.

"Backbone of a slug"
Quote of the day.

 

[Harry's Game]

Thought they would be more bitter than that, but that was a mostly reasonable bunch of comments.

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Very fair and sensible comments. What have they got against Steve Bruce. He's not walked out on them before has he?

 

[BettingBlade]

Id like to congratulate Stoke on being the first set of fans ive heard in a long time that havent bored us with the same ‘banterous’ songs we normally get.

Maybe Sheffield isnt a shithole after all and maybe we play in an actual football stadium rather than a library. And thankfully I’m rather glad we didnt get asked the age old question of whether they should sing a song for us.

Was beginning to fear for you Roy! Nice to have a lie in now and then. ;-)

The RAF search and rescue found Roy floating near some rusty shit.

 

[Champagneblade]

Thanks Roy. Outrageously reasonable comments. Not often you see two sets of fans who come away with a similar impression of the same game!

 

[Bashamed]

All pretty much bang on. Maybe stokies aren't so bad after all

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

"Backbone of a slug"

Could describe us too.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

“gutted as we looked so comfortable up to 75 mins.”

Was he at the same match as me?

 

[metty]

Cheers Roy

 

[Rocketmark66]

Cheers Roy

I might be very much mistaken, but from my vantage point on John Street Stand, some Stoke fans even sang "Brooks will tear you apart again" and also clapped in the 36th minute.
Much appreciation to them if that's the case.

"Backbone of a slug"

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Very refreshing comments on the whole, save for the usual knobheads at the end of course. I have a higher opinion of them now than before the game so fair does to them really.

 

[N20 Blade]

Very fair and sensible comments. What have they got against Steve Bruce. He's not walked out on them before has he?

It’s in readiness for when he walks out on them in three years time when they’re second in the championship and he goes to West Brom who are struggling in the PL.
