You must've been bad against Newcastle 'cause 25,000 people stopped going.:lol:
:oops: Stoke's average is lower than our lowest crowd of the season :lol:

and we had 47k vs Newcastle, we haven't had 22k in the league for a long time
 
I'm not keen on stoke but in a strange way I admire them for squeezing everything and more out of the limited ability they have.

when the ball is delivered well into the box it is always hard to defend and with the amount of bodies they throw into the box it is hard for the ref to see infringements such as those yesterday......the cheap free kicks given by probert were the annoying factor for me Carew, Etherington and Pennant going down at the slightest hint of a challenge and the ref was falling for it

my view is we weren't streetwise enough, we need to start winning the cheap free kicks and blocking their runners

but when we win cheap free kicks Henderson takes it and fucks it up....every f***ing time. Give 'em to Munt

well yeah but it's the lack of nous and dare I say it gamesmanship that other teams seem to excel in....clever obstructions off the ball to prevent breaking runs from midfield, playing the man and not the ball in aerial challenges.....numerous examples v Chelsea and Stoke, yeah we want too play good football but we also need to be nasty and horrible to play against when we don't have the ball.
 
Has google fucked up and directed smack heads who want help onto this site?
