Former Stoke player Dionatan Teixeira has died of a heart attack at 25. RIP Jonny Tex, you were a weird signing and you played about 20 minutes of football but I still liked you ironically.

I hate you and I hate that West Brom have sacked Pulis because now he's always going to be number 1 on the list of replacements should Stoke ever sack Hughes.

Pulis, you were a huge improvement over Irvine but eventually everyone figured out how to deal with your physical play. We will always have the 5-5 against United and fleecing Stoke for all that money for Berahino.

West Ham United supporters are being urged to stop calling 999 to complain after their team loses. lmao the Moyes effect

The sun have noticed that Sparky is wank and should be the next to go. The Sun is terrible but it makes a change that a big paper is actually highlighting his awful record rather than hand waving it away with the same old "They'll be fine" bollocks that always gets trotted out. Some tasty stats: quote:In their last 66 matches, Stoke have won just 19 and have lost 29. It also mentions the 50m wasted on Imbula, Berahino and Wimmer and that the defence has conceded the joint second highest in the league. He should've gone in the summer. Unfortunately Coates has only ever appointed British managers so even if he was to act he'd only appoint from the same uninspiring list that Everton and West Brom have been linked to. Or my worst nightmare will happen and we'll appoint Pulis for the third time.

I saw a league table from the start of the year and Clement has actually managed more points than Hughes. Both are wank though. I'll swap you Sanches for Berahino though.

Ninpo posted:How well do you expect Stoke to be performing then, given their location, pulling power for good players etc? They never seem in any danger of relegation and they had a tough start to the season if I recall as far as fixtures go. I want to see some progress. Stoke have been part of the premier league for 10 years now and both managers have been given a lot of time and patience to get the players they want in and get the team playing how they want to play. Getting a top ten finish would be nice again, maybe in the long term the occasional top 8 and european qualification would be fantastic and probably about as far as club the size of Stoke could go barring a massive fluke like what Leicester achieved. A cup run would be nice again but we failed to achieve that in the last two seasons, being knocked out by Hull(reserves), Wolves(reserves) and this season Bristol City(reserves) all within the first two rounds of the cup. It's not like I'm expecting a top 4 finish. We only secured safety on the final game of last season so its not like relegation is completely unthinkable. We did have a tough start this season and we actually did a lot better than I expected yet we've followed that up with 1 win in our last 5 against teams that are pretty beatable, including losing against Palace who are rock bottom and Bournemouth who were in the bottom 3 when we played them. Next up is Liverpool tomorrow in which we'll get thrashed and a must win game against Swansea on Saturday or the chances are we'll be in the bottom 3. I don't see how the location of Stoke is relevant at all. Most players live in mansions in Cheshire, just like most players at both Manchester clubs. They're millionaires, they aren't going to slum it in a 2 bed terrace in Abbey Hulton. Stoke-on-Trent might be a shithole but its 40 miles away from Manchester and Birmingham and 50 miles away from Liverpool. It's not like its a backwater a million miles away from civilisation. In the last 18 months the results have been poor (we've averaged about a point per game), the football has been poor, there have been no cup runs and the vast majority of the signings we've made have been poor. No poo poo he'd be sacked if he was at Chelsea, most managers with his record haven't survived at smaller clubs. At the end of last season Hughes decided that he was going to play a back three and wing backs despite having no natural wing backs at the club. He then signed 0 wing backs in the summer preferring to play a striker there. He should be sacked for that ineptitude alone.

Brendan Rodgers posted:Just had a look on some sites and I did actually see some terraced houses for £40k though most are a bit higher, but still. That's insane, is Stoke that much of a shithole? Good way to get on the property ladder if you work from home I guess. Or you could commute to Brum. Surely even a full time minimum wage job in Stoke means that house is 3 times your salary. What the gently caress is going on in Stoke? They had a deal about 3 years ago where you could buy some ex-council houses for a quid as long as you sign up to a 20k loan to get the house back in livable condition. Shame it was in one of the grimmest areas of the city.
