First of all... what a superb win! This is the first time Stoke have lost by more than 2 clear goals at home since they have been in the Premier League! This is probably the hardest ground outside of the top 4 to come to and we win 4-0... Amazing! I went to the game today... a great day. Got to Stoke at about 12.50. Got a cab to the the ground. Tried to go in the Harvester pub but it was too busy so we went to some place called the 'Power League'... anyway after a few pints we went into the ground with 50 mins till kick off. Well... it as simply mental in there. I got a good video which I'll put up but every time in the concourse at Stoke beer goes everywhere and today was no exception. Me and my mate got drenched in it! Just washed it all out of my hair. Whole place going barmy. Was fantastic. Got to our seats... 2 rows up, right by the tunnel and the home fans... In the first half the atmosphere was average but we sung loud and clear in the second half. 'Jonathan Walters, he scores when he wants' 'Sign him up sign him up sign him up' (about Walters) Walters, man of the match, Walters Walters man of the match' Some great chants and this lad obviously helped us! Stoke fans were OK. It's tough to make a lot of noise when 4 down but they did make a bit and were cheering each pass they did at the end and our support joined in. On the match... Stoke played far better in the first half but that goal on the edge of half time was perfect for us. Stoke had some chances early in the second half but after that we dominated and that Hazard goal... what a goal! Managed to get the away buses back to the station and back home but a top away day. Cheers to the Stoke fans from here for advice before the match. Not many teams will go to the Britannia and win this season and to win 4-0 is astonishing. It gives me more confidence that we can beat Swansea at their place. Our away form is awesome but a lot is down to our away support who are class. A top away day
i watched the game and you lot were LOUD !! fair play to stoke for not parking the bus and the stoke fans that have been on here this eve
And here is one of the videos I took... beer flying all over the shot.... Mad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZoUQbjAz3E
Yeah it was good... and got this one from inside the ground... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTWmH_Jd3Mc
It's amazing, isn't it! You get beaten at home by QPR, and then win away at Stoke. What a strange season this is!
Bucks Blue Wow, as a Stoke fan I was not expecting that scoreline.. I'm sure you will agree we've both seen the game. FOUR Zip looks like a battering, it was far from it. Your fans we're brilliant and on that 2nd half/last half hour we did'nt cope with the movement of Chelsea player's, even though we've lost it does'nt feel that bad tbh. Pleased you found a decent place for a pint, and obviously enjoyed your day. You deserved the win for the 2nd half football you played at times was brilliant. Will watch MOTD if only to see Hazzards goal again a belter of a shot. Good luck for the rest of the season. P.S. Raffa isn't that fat from where I was sitting. P.S. thought Lampard was one of, if not your best player today.
Honestly mate I'm speechless... it is a cracking result for us. Never thought that would happen! Were our fans loud then? We were row 2 and thought we put on a good showing and were loud... some good banter. It shouldn't have been 4-0. We did dominate the second half but you should have score din the first. I thought that Jones effort was creeping in... 4-0 is harsh on you but we'll take it Yeah a good day out... next ones for me are Swansea in the cup second leg, Southend/Brentford and then Newcastle (all away) so hoping for some more good away days.
Bucks Blue Yep you were loud, a little quiet first half when we we're on top but after that top notch fans.
We sold out the allocation and I think the allocation was about 2800... Good support. We need to sell out the Swansea away tickets though... our away support helps the away form..
