Some of the interesting quotes from their forum. Sounds very, very familiar. Seems like they are our sister club:
"When was the last time we built on a good performance? Sometime in 2015?"
"When was the last time anyone looked forward to a Saturday?"
"Even taking away the fact that we are emotionally invested in Stoke City, I definitely haven't watched a game of football for a long while where any team has been as shit as we were tonight"
"We are little more than a Circus Act.
An absurdity and a freak show, a miserable sight to the eyes. Unfortunately the ringmaster pays the price, not the f***ing donkeys and other livestock"

I wonder if there forums will be filled with we will rip up league wann next season posts soon. It’s like history repeating watching stoke atm although it’s in slow motion compared to our speed of light double relegation.

Nathan Jones something like 4 wins out of 26 matches can't be long before he gets a big pay off...

Absolute dog phoo tbh. Worst 11 players I've seen for a very long time.

I was on a few week-long training courses with a couple of Stoke fans not long after they were first promoted to the PL (was that really 11 years ago?) and you would think they were Champions League winners the way the arrogant pricks went on. I hope we switch places with them at the end of the season!

I don't mind stoke really. They're quite similar to us in many ways.
Promoted around the same time, relegated around the same time. Generally hated by neutral fans for being unfashionable and playing crap football. Shared plenty of players with us, red and white stripes.
Just reading their forum it all sounds very very familiar. Like history repeating as @Mackemansj1 said.
I can't help but feel sympathy with them knowing what it's like to watch your club in a hopeless spiral of decline

We've been playing really well all season without getting results and then last night was a horrendous performance. Butland needs to look at himself and his mind is obviously elsewhere. QPR at home first day, 10 minutes in - rushes out, trips over the ball and gives QPR an open goal. One down, uphill battle. End the game the strongest and pretty much camped in their half. Three shots on goal for them, two goals. Week later at Charlton. We murder them and end up losing 3-1. They had 3 shots on goal and score every one. We hit the bar, post, miss two sitters! At 0-0, Butland again lets a ball go straight through him. Uphill battle. Last week against Derby - bar and post again! They have three chances and score two. For nearly 40 minutes of the match our keeper didn't touch the ball at all, not even with his feet!
We're not conceding many chances but pretty much every chance conceded ends up in a goal. It's crackers. I've never known anything like it. Going forward some of the football we've played is the best i've seen in years.

Stoke looked terrible last night but Huddersfield are repeating our season from two years ago, they looked awful on Friday

Bullet dodged there I think Villan.It's difficult when you've been a hoofball team all your life and suddenly try to play different. It always leads to really bad patches. Some managers survive, but a lot don't. Not sure NJ had the easiest task.
Either way Stoke really is one club I find boring, so couldn't give a shit.
Butland though.

I live in Staffordshire, near derby, but there are a few stoke fans in town as it’s about 30 miles away.
When stoke finished above us while having 3 of our unwanted players in their team, I had a bit of banter in a chip shop queue with a stoke fan who we know.
He had a really sneering attitude, albeit he’d had a few beers. I was genuinely surprised how much he disliked safc for whatever reason.
I wasn’t my usual witty self as stoke fans are psychotic nutters who have a reputation for chip shop violence.

Your right we do match Stoke,we have a few good seasons they play catch up and now they are on the way down....many clubs follow this cyclical process, take the blades and Shef Wed, Leicester, Southampton, Wolves, it seems that these days only the clubs backed by massive investment can maintain position, it's not a level playing field out there with many clubs have massive debt on paper and yet I thought FFP was meant to make it open and transparent.

The scary thing is, had my great-grandparents not relocated to Consett in the 1930s there’s a good chance I would have been a Stoke fan (ignoring obvious things like the fact my grandparents on my dad’s side would probably have never met, same with my parents etc etc)

I actually thought they might have followed in our footsteps last season.

This. Don’t mind Stoke.
I quite like Southampton, Sheff U and Brentford too mind so I’m putting it down to the red and white stripes. I must have issues somewhere

Don’t know what’s gone on there, 4 or 5 years ago they were a model of stability in the PL.
