Not a bad result, reckon we should've scored more than four against you though.

Had a go and come off better than we did last season, against a much stronger Utd side.
Fell asleep in defence too many times but not all teams will punish us like Utd have.
Next run of games is very important though and we need to pick up points, home and away! Proud of the lads today, and proud of Tony for not bottling it! Onwards and upwards.

Pulis was disappointed with the lapses in concentration from his players, despite praising their creativity.
"For them to score two minutes before half-time and then two minutes after half-time just took the sting out of the game," he told Sky Sports.
"Then when we got the next goal to get back into the game, they got their fourth goal just a few minutes later.
"You can't switch off against the top teams and that's what we have done today.
"It is really disappointing in respect to the way we defended a few of the goals, but there were loads of positives because we've come here and created loads of chances."

1st half we had them bent over and taking it from us & should/could of been 3-0 up; but Man Utd are different class especially their 1st goal that cross & header was just text book quality. One thing that did worry me was how poor we defended today especially Shawcross lost RVP for their 2nd & could of done more for their 3rd, defensively we were useless; BUT as its been said we expect nothing & always wish we gave it a go & we did while playing fantastic football aswell!. We were outclassed today, however 'lesser' teams they could get dicked by us; what are the odds for Stoke to win 4-0+ at least twice? We are a force to be recognised with. Now im going drink beer and not arsed we lost.

Scholes gets away with it because he's Scholes, everyone knows he's a terrible tackler of the ball
Also, what referee has the bollocks to send off a Man United player at Old Trafford?

"are we playing barca?" ;D
And..."Baffles me when teams continuously cross the ball against Stoke, yet again we're doing it as well..." Bet he felt a tool at the end of the game! Only scored all 4 goals from crosses! (With help from our unusually awful defending)

And this sums up a lot of Utd fans...
"Stoke defensively have been awful, Shawcross has been looked at by City, Chelsea and us apparently..not sure why after today's performance."
"Didn't he play for us once?"
1) Basing a player on 1 performance away at one of the best teams in the world.
2) 0 football knowledge what so ever.

Was at a Wedding Saturday. Looked at updates 'Rooney GOAL 11 minutes', thought fucking hell here we go. Pondered on it for 3 minutes and realised we were in front.
What the fuck went on?! 4 fucking 2 at Old Trafford?! Haven't read any reports yet, how did we go on in general?

Apart from our defending, we played some excellent stuff at times and going forward we always looked a threat. Huge progress from the first season where we simply got raped

We look like such a better team this year, even if we have got a pretty weak forward line. Hopefully more players will put in some goals so we're not relying on Crouch all the time. Glad to see Kightly get one, will do his confidence good going into this Saturday.

N'Zonzi made Paul Scholes look like Dave Brammer.
Adam was excellent going forward for most of the game.
Defence were a bit dodgy.
Adam, Kightly, Walters, Crouch all linked up well.
We had the best move of the game.
Bego had no chance with the goals, made some good saves, distribution fine.
Michael Owen had one chance, took it well, was unlucky not to score.
Palacios came on, did alright.

Bego hit 17 long passes to Crouch at a 100% success rate.

Watched the highlights, fuck me we look like Samba Boys! Our defence was utter wank for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals though, perhaps some of our worst defending in recent years.
