Nick, I have not seen any of the match, he's always been a hands on player as have many, this will have to change or we are going to see 10 pens per game.
JM..I watched via laptop/stream, yes he has, as have others the habit of beinv as you say hands on. He has given away 9 penalties in the PL..apparently a record !! Plus the fact he looked slow, generally unfit and lacking any confidence. Mind you, our back 5 is championship standard, at best. Ryan, Bardsley, Wolly & Pieters and Given. As for our 'creative' players who create sweet F.A. Worrying times mate
Yes, shame we let Huth go, hopefully we can get someone in before the window closes but for me this should have sorted out as soon as the window opened to give the team chance to bed in before the season started. it's not as if we didn't get a few bob for finishing 9th is it.
Quite possibly...or, given (no pun) up the ghost. Was ever the way being a Stokie. Is there a cure???
The Sentinel, the local rag, quotes MH " we will have to step up our search for new players " *# #~..< !! Step up ? for weeks now we should have been going flat out to fill the gaps. We should have been at a pace which meant we could not "step up" further. This forum has been stating for weeks/months what our inadequecies are, did the Stoke management not know how poor we are in several vital areas of the team? Strewth ! This could be season we go down.
A kipper is a cured/smoked fish Had one for my breakfast...a Craster Kipper, very nice it was Hughes out
Couldn't agree more except for the going down bit, it's to early for me to make that call and I'm quite sure other teams will fight us for it.
Me & the Mrs have been having a flutter, 20 pence a game, she's kicking my arse so far and reckons she will donate her winnings for the season to buy us a new centre back. bless her.
