Stoke Post Match...

[Darkon]

I think the key was when he was asked for a reality check, he really really needs one!

[Big-Red-Ed]

I honestly thought the wigan match was as bad as we could get but this was just incredible. We will look back at this match as the nadir. I draw no comfort in this but were so atrocious in so many ways that this could be should be has to be Roy's last stand.

[RoadEnd]

Just got back from the Britannia - what an embarassment.

Shocking, dreadful, **** and bollocks - the team and the manager.

Stoke closed us down and showed more commitment - deserved the win.

[red g]

Don't trust that red g. We have a simple run in up until Xmas that started with Wigan and lasts until January. If we don't make the most of it we'll pay at the end of the season. And it's foolish to think one of spurs or city won't hit form. Spurs will be back on form when they don't have the CL games to contend with. That gets put to bed until march soon enough.

Fair point Danny, But spurs will have CL again after christmas and City well **** knows. Don;t get me wrong the longer he stays the further we get away from 4th.

I would go all out and bring Rikjaard in of course its a risk but I want to see an attacking manager on board, we have had 10 years of defensive managers( although Rafa did have his moments)

[DannyMan2006]

Red g, we beat Bolton. It was a good run in all fairness. Just not concistant and poor standard of play still apparent. He needs to go.

[DannyMan2006]

I'd take a risk and go for Andre Villa Boas at Porto. Sounds the real deal.

Did you tell Carra where to go ?

Did you tell Carra where to go ?

I did a runner after the 2nd goal. I was in the Main Stand with the Stoke fans.

If I had seen Carra or Hodgson - I'd have most certainly given them a earful.

He won't leave his position now. If anything it will be in the summer but not now.

[CJ]

he sounds like he could be the business. wouldnt mind pellegrini, not sure about frank or didier. but i would need to know more and look at bit closer.

[McDermotX]

How's his English ?

Actually, **** that, does he know a football is round, because that would be an improvement.

[Vermilion]

Sad, another very sad day indeed.

You only know if you approach him. Big clubs take managers from positions all the time. About time we flexed our muscles and brought in the brightest up and coming coach in European football.

We'll regret it when he takes another club to glory. He won't be at Porto long.
