All said, I do have a fondness for Stoke. SO many ex Safc players having played for them does that. And that they have been in a similar situation to us over the last few years doing rather well. They managed to achieve our goals of a cup run and maybe Europe, so fair play to them.
I could understand this if they had a number of players who we liked or could relate to but they don't.
Very few were bothered when Collins left (although Stoke have gotten rid of him now haven't they?), Whitehead was never popular. Jones didn't do enough, Higginbotham was only here five minutes, Delap wasn't here long either.
The only player I like is Sorensen. We should actually be thankfull for Stoke for taking so many average players off our books.
After seeing them twice this season, I can't understand how they are where they are in the table. They are such a poor team and have very average players.
