with our level of performance today. As an established Prem. League Team , ( and for your information , there is no such thing as " an established Prem. League Team " as any team can be relegated ) , but with our recent seasons experience , with an accomplished manager , we should not have struggled against B'mouth. But struggle we certainly did. Whelan Arnie and Butland won this match for us. And is it just me or do the ref's , whoever he is or whoever the opposition , have to be so continually biased , ( can't think of an alternative word for biased ) against us , but biased they are. Every home match we see it. I posted before the season started that after the ins and outs we were left weaker than last season , so far I have not been proved wrong. Bojan is not yet as he used to be , and the team is just not operating as smoothly as last season. Shaqiri has been lauded in the local press , but he aint done much up to now. Next window Stoke , spend £60m wisely , or suffer the consequences.
We were a poor second best gainst B'mouth. But Stoke are still my team , and I am happy to be a supporter.
