I don't think any of our players tonight were particularly shite. We just didn't look like we wanted the win enough, and Newcastle were more than up for it. They beat us at our own game really. Ethers was quiet, Wheelan a bit poor, Wilko committed but a little wayward. We had a go at times, but were nowhere near our usual sharpness. The match stats are a little misleading too
Possession
Stoke 51% Newcastle 49%
Attempts on target
Stoke 4 Newcastle 2
Attempts off target
Stoke 6 Newcastle 4
Corners
Stoke 8 Newcastle 2
Fouls
Stoke 8 Newcastle 14
Despite the result, there is no need to slit wrists. Just look at how Newcastle are doing! I regard this as (another) minor blip. Just like our post Uefa matches. We'll be fine. Lord Anthony of Stoke will see us through
*edit* As for the Ba situation, Fooking annoying, ever since the West Ham game! He's going to score against us whenever he plays, ever!

Our lack of goals is becoming a pain in the arse

Crouch doesn't work as a target man. I feel sorry for the lanky sod to tell you the truth; he's undoubtedly here to score goals, but unfortunately he's come just as matty and jermaine are looking distinctly average. We need Palacios to get fit and become an oasis of creativity in the barren desert that is our central midfield.
Woodgate looks frail defensively against anyone particularly strong or fast... Tone, get Huth back in the middle please, please, please. Rob's distribution was miles better than woodgate's as well.
Demba Ba, what a fucking bellend. Hope his fucking knees explode, the ungracious, uninformed, self important cunt.

Ever since he signed Huth has been pushing and shoving players in the box, its about time he got punished for it. Really needs to cut that stupidity out of his game.

And maybe that is part of the Reason TP has dropped him from the middle latley I fucking Stupidly believed after we pulled back to 2 - 1 we had a chance to get back into the game....When will I fucking learn

I actually lol'd at his attempted header in the first few minutes....what the fuck was he trying to do ;D Oh and I have a new pet hate....Rory drying the ball with the towel is fucking starting to grate on my nerves. I fucking hate it

Just got home from a wank night out. What made it wank? Fucking stoke. Fucking pile of fucking steaming shit, I can defend better than fucking Jonathan useless fucking woodgate, fucking prick couldn't be arsed to run after the fucking ball acnd defend like a fucking defender should fucking defend, useless bag of shit. Whelan was a fucking wanky streak of fucking piss, fucking knobhead, couldn't pass the ball to our own player the shitty horse bell end. I can't believe how unbelievably shit we were today, don't know why I even bother wasting good money supporting some of them cunts, cunts, cunts, cunts, I was looking forwards to today the shit heads, couldn't be arsed, didn't even have one good chance all game, cunts. I hope woodgate fucking gets hit by a Eddie stobart lorry, a fucking defender? You're having a fucking laugh.

'If the fans want to boo they should boo the board because i was there to sign and they didn't want me..' Demba Ba. To be fair, he's right. (Although I'm not saying we should boo the board, just that there wasn't really much need to boo him at all) I'm in agreement here, he wanted to sign for us but we didn't sign him, yet we take a chance on a dodgy kneed DEFENDER, Ba or Crouch, we know who's had the best deal don't we

We were fucking shite! However i have solutions to our problems... Palacios in midfield for Whelan We need Etherington back on form and back to his usual self We need Higgy back We need Huth playing in his natural position alongside Ryan (By the way, the cunt bit can be aimed at any one person of your own choosing)

Crouch was good. Won every header and barely lost the ball, unfair to not give him any credit. Crouch was not shit granted but he was certainly not a threat to Newcastle in all honesty. However it is all irrelevant as I go back to my second point we have serious issues with the defense and it is very un TP like for a Stoke defense to leak so many goals, and we certainly do not score enough to keep that bad habbit up. The whole defence was toss including Wilko. He was in no man's land for their first goal. I agree Walters was our only player who looked to be of any threat. The board did fuck up the Ba thing, he's obviously a class act. Crouch and Walters don't work up front and I'd personally drop Crouch at Bolton and go for the cup semi final team against them. Also, where the fuck is Palacios? I tend to stick up for Whelan but he was fucking crap last night.

Etherington's getting right on my fucking nerves. Granted he had one of the only shots on target, but he's always fucking hunched over like he's got the worlds weight on his shoulders. When Pennant came over to him when we had a free kick in the 1st half, he didn't even acknowledge Pennant. Is the cunt gambling again?
It's easy to point fingers after a shitty performance but there's a lot to grumble at, particularly when we haven't been quite at the races for a few weeks.
Last thing we want is to give Bolton the boost they need.

Last thing we want is to give Bolton the boost they need. I think the problem is that Matty has had a few injuries and he sometimes appears that he is making sure he doesn't get another. Added to the fact that our wingers get little protection from referees.

Fair play like, but he's under performing because of it, the lack of cover certainly isn't helping him. Still think he's been knackered since the Final.
