Bailey Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 The gulf in class yesterday between City and United was almost as big as the gulf in class between us and Liverpool. United were playing at home as well and City should have knocked 4 or 5 past them. United should have been battered by Arsenal the week before as well. I think he might be living a charmed life if they don't close that gap with City. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Just shows how quickly the league table can change. A month ago, Palace were rock bottom of the league. They won again today and if Benteke hadn't missed that penalty last week they would now be one position below us in 11th place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yeah, they played well and that's a good result for us, we win on Monday we're only one point behind Leicester in 8th place. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hodgson has done a great job. They are a difficlt team to play now and they have an attacking threat which similar teams don’t. I think Leicester will struggle in most games they concede first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 From the beeb on West Ham's penalty.. Not a stone waller Stoke City 0-1 West Ham You can see why Graham Scott has given that with Pieters diving in but at the same time Lanzini goes down a fraction of a second before the contact. Must be a retrospective ban then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would Stoke appoint? The only British merry go round manager left available is Pulis, and obviously they aren't bringing him back. They'd have to appoint a Championship manager or someone from abroad or some relic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Is anyone still have any doubts that Pep is the best 'big club' manager around? Id love to see him at a club with limited resources but even without Silva his side smash Spurs 4-1 a week after playing Utd off the park. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like his ego and personality but can’t argue with his coaching and tactics. They could be the new invincibles. Sane looks like a hell of a player.

My bad - realized I was quoting you to begin with so you weren't just knocking Stoke out of the blue, but rather responding to me - apologies. On a serious note, I would be eager to see who they appoint given that they are one of the primary offenders who would look to appoint one of the same old names. To your point, yeah, they are a largely indistinguishable club who've done nothing other than consolidate themselves as a Premier League regular who will finish 9th-14th whose biggest accomplishment was a cup final.

Wouldn't be a terrible move if it was a contract until the end of the season, but I'd be fuming as a Stoke fan if it was any longer.

These tackles of his are deliberate because he's a snide little bastard.

aaron Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 They need to change the rules, if a ref calls it wrong and awards a yellow card, when it should be a red, then there should be a panel, like the diving board, to over turn it. Vice versa with the wrongful second yellows which shouldn't of been given which results in a red. Matt and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
