Match Day Thread Stoke v Hull City

[TigerMarv]

I've been a big Walter critic and at half time thought we was going to lose so well done for proving me wrong.

The one thing I did like but know I will also complain about in future games when it doesn't work, is that when a goal ahead we went to finish them off and put the game to bed.

He's not played for a long time and he's a youngster adapting to a new country and new league.

We've got numbers now and there's only so many spots on the bench. So who does he get on the bench instead of?

He was considered good enough to be on Bayer Leverkusen’s bench for every league game last season (including the Europa League final) and started 3 times in the Europa League.

It is strange he hasn’t featured at all and I’m confused why the question hasn’t been asked.

 

[Plum]

Seems strange not to give him 5-10 minutes off the bench, how else does he adapt? Zambrano seems to have been able to adapt much quicker to the point he's been able to start games?

Zambrano had been playing regularly before he came to us though so he was more or less match fit. It is strangely quiet on the Puerta front though.

Re Puerta... in a past interview he did say he needed to get up to speed...

Alzate joined us much later but was on the bench on Friday

Absolute exodus on 79 minutes

Love a good round of 'mauled' me.

Yes, game set and match to the travelling City fans.
Must have been so much sweeter , as the Stoke inbreds sang mauled by the potters at 1 £@@£ing 0!!!
The icing on the cake, for me, was 1.0 and you £@@£ed it up at the final whistle.

 

[Evington]

Haven't been to a game there for a few years, do you still get given a pocketful of loose change there?

I noticed they have moved the away fans so not sure what entrance you use. I remember being locked in after one match and their lot were throwing bricks and hardcore over the gates at us. Ok if you need some hardcore but no fun when you have young children with you.

Set of ****ers

On a footnote to the above, it just shows how dangerous the “mauled “ chant can be when used by the unwashed, untrained, uneducated. You really have to know when to use such a pisstake.
My recommendation to the Stokies, would be to stick to their chants of admiration of domestic violence .

 

[HulltoHellandback]

I would say that it can only be used once we're 3 up, unless they've done it first and thrown the lead away

Haha cheers

In the team I was playing for about 20 years ago, three of us playing at the back subsequently ended up having hip replacements - one of them even had both hips done. We were from that point on called "The Tragically Hips" by the rest of our team-mates.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

They've said it's almost certain I'll need the other doing due to the damage, years and years of training and diving on hard surfaces, AstroTurfs, the fantastic pitches behind the south stand at boothferry park....that along with motorbike crashes and it's all added up unfortunately

I know that feeling. At the moment we're in the process of moving house and my son is helping with the packing of 40 years of accumulated "stuff". I keep telling him to mix a box with both heavy and light stuff to reduce the total weight per box overall. Does he listen? Not at all. Needless to say, not only is my "doctored" left side aching like hell. now my back is killing me also ! Arthritis everywhere.

All I can say is take it easy from now on. Good luck HT2.
