Cracking game and result. Thought it was gonna be a long afternoon when they scored early but 2nd half we were very good. Like the idea of Assaidi coming on as a sub at tiring defences.

Against the big teams, that's what you have to do. You have to withstand the intentional barrage and simply stay in the game which is what we did and it paid dividends in the end. I would've been really happy with a point, especially with how we started, but three.. I'm in dreamland at the moment. Yes, agree, and that in a nutshell is what I thought we'd lost with Hughes. With Pulis, especially in the first few seasons, on most occasions you knew Stoke wouldn't have much of the ball but would hang in there and it wouldn't be pretty but you'd sense the frustration in the better sides and they'd eventually stop playing. Arsenal in particular used to visibly run out of ideas. And then Stoke would hopefully take one or two of the few chances we'd get. With Hughes, I worried (am still a bit worried) that the more open style would lead to the better sides over-running us sooner or later, so well done to the team for hanging in, keeping going and taking it to them at the end. Great stuff today. Adding a regular goalscorer to today's spirit and performance would really improve us.

After 10 mins I would have taken a 0-1 loss let alone a draw ;D 4-0 was the maximum I'd accept ;D Couple of Chelsea supporting cunts at work were giving it 0-5 yesterday. I've texted them both tonight, "Assssssssaiiiiiiiiiiiiidddiiiiiiiiiiiiii, 3-2. Happy Birthday, JT, Captain, Leader, Loooooooossssseeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ;D"

Who was it who said Assaidi couldn't run and beat a man. Looks like he just did. Very surprised at the score but very happy. He couldn't on Wednesday, he was quite poor until the last 20 mins, perhaps he's an impact sub like he was away at Tranmere as well

Then again, they probably weren't Chelsea fans then.

I chuckled at the "Never won fuck all chant" I'm guessing they weren't Chelsea fans when we beat them in the final ;D

They probably weren't. Most of them probably weren't born.

I'm working in a care home and was feeding one of the resident who had football focus on in his room.
Scared the living shit out of him when we scored and I went bat.shit.mental.
God bless you Stoke, you fucking beauties!

Rodney Marsh said if Stoke are ever first on MOTD he'd personally come and clean the players boots. He's just officially apologised to Stoke fans

A Stoke 'fan' asked me for a fight on Twitter, proof that we have swamp people as fans.
Seriously, what a win, totally deserved, no one had a bad game.
Crouch was my MOTM, but Wilson deserves to start ahead of Huth fit or not, because he's been excellent last 2 games.
Thought Muni did well, but Hazard showed him up a few times but that is no shame because he was very good today.
Just a great victory, and if you see/hear a Stoke fan moaning about today, he isn't a fan & you should chuck acid in their faces.
