I take it nobody is too excited about this game.
Just watched Stevenage play well against Everton but still get thrashed 4-0. There haven't been the usual quota of shocks in this round of the FA Cup so tomorrow Stoke will make up for that by winning 9-0.

I suppose everyone is just expecting the ref to fuck us over to allow one of the 'big teams' through. As long as we are losing the ref will just do his usual job, but should we have the audacity to be in danger of knocking Chelsea out of the cup, then obviously the ref will spot a penalty or a straight red for a Stoke player and do just enough to allow Chelsea to turn the game. John (ladyboy) Terry will as usual have the refs ear throughout the game and we'll just get fucked over. I reckon we're going to get thumped unfortunately

I reckon we have a whip round and send sausage (who may actually be bricktop) to keep order

A lot to do with how well Chelsea have been playing as well as how poor our away form still is.
I just hope we make a game if it, especially cos it's on normal telly!

Not even arsed about this game. We will lose comfortable and I'm guessing come half time I'll be changing channel. Just doesn't seem any point anymore.

Seriously though what is the point? The best we can ever hope for if we have an absolutely outstanding season is 7th. Fucking 7th. No competition should be like that. And as for the cups. If we are drawn away to a money team then we've got no chance. Chelsea will walk the game today and I'm not even arsed about it because I know it's coming. I'm even debating whether to watch it ir not.

I agree with Pick. Modern football is shite. Occasionally you get shocks but increasingly these are fewer and further apart. And it'll get worse so long as the game is designed to pour money into the richest clubs already.
In some ways I wish the rich clubs would just piss off and form a genuinely closed shop instead of the pretend competition we have now. No relegation or promotion unless your wealth exceeds or drops below a certain limit (otherwise what's the point) and then you'd have divisions where the team who plays better on the day usually wins but you don't know who that'll be until the game pans out. Unlike now where it's generally a foregone conclusion.
I'll bet that's why a good proportion of the 3000 ST holders we lost just couldn't be arsed anymore.

Not a bad idea at all. As for the lost 3000 season ticket holders. I also won't be renewing next season. One or two factors come in to it but the main reason is I just can't be fucking bothered with it anymore. Its a ball ache to get to and from the ground and the football is toss anyway. I won't miss it.

So you're getting sick of football because we don't win enough?
Pisser.

Can't see anything but a loss here. I'd be delighted with a point.

Football is shit compared to the way it used to be thanks to Murdoch the goat fucker and his repulsive Sky media hog. Now BT has its vile nose deep in the trough and we have lost real football forever. We now have 'fashion football' run purely for the cash and nothing else. Greedy grasping mercenaries plying their trade is the guise of a game of sport. No integrity, honesty, or transparency. Just greed, false idols, and vulgar cash laden owners who just want another plaything to go along with their trophy wife, huge speedboat, and fleet of luxury cars. Even a lot of the fans are now as vile as the game, with Arsenal fans a perfect example. The fashion following lemmings of the 'big clubs' and their 'look I'm on TV' mentality, walking the high street of any city in their shiny new replica shirt .... while the game is on over a hundred miles away at some home ground they have never even been to. They guzzle down the product like a child with a new bag of sweets ... the replica shirt, the sky subscription, on the go too because it says it's good on the telly ads, the constant betting, then phone in to a radio phone in even though people will piss themselves at you as you're a Man Utd or Liverpool fan from Surrey. And let's not forget the girls .... Oooh they love their football nowadays don't they. They shout it from the rooftops, always at the front in a pub jumping up and down in front of the big screen. ANYTHING for fucking attention. Thing is ... They still have nothing to say about the game bar the few who have always followed it. They just like the periphery so they can be seen. The whole thing makes me want to hurl the contents of my stomach into their faces Murdoch you are a BASTARD.

I think you two take all of this abit fucking seriously to be honest, it's just the footy.
If you hate it so much, why follow it? Because you both seem to genuinely like nothing about the game, and especially the game from a club like Stoke's perspective (apart from when we win of course, that's ace).

Supporting a club like Stoke for over 49 years becomes a part of your soul. It is far beyond footy. I honestly wish I didn't care but it's like when you love a woman for a very long time. I was born and raised in Stoke, and they have always been a huge part of my life. I have lost jobs, girlfriends, and a lot more through my love of Stoke City. They are MY club.

My old man's opinion on the matter after he nicked my laptop.
"It is what it is, you either watch it because you like it or you don't watch it because you dislike it."
;D
He's got a fucking point, I watch it because I enjoy it whatever the result. If I didn't enjoy it I'd not bother going/watching.
More wise words;
"Watching shit football is comfortably better than watching no football."
Another valid point.
