I think Gus got it spot on this weekend

Bizarre how many people appear to be in awe of the apparently mighty Stoke City, dinosaurs of the Premier League. As for them being bigger than us, so were Oldham. Plus Oldham didn't rely on a pathetic long throw game. Truth is we just rolled over with two soft early goals. Damn shame El-Abd never got given the chance to wind them up like he did Portsmouth. Might have been a completely different story. Plus its the one time we could have really done with Ankergren and his love of punching the ball.

Massive chance blown, including a very soft quarter-final draw.

Oh well. Onwards and upwards eh?

This is true about Oldham but the thing is that the Stoke players are a hell of alot better at it. Like I say they come up against Man Utd and Arsenal...we come up aganst Oldham and Colchester.

Dont worry Finchlea THPP is the only person I know who would love a return to the Adams aimless hoofing days.

Are you taking the piss? Stoke are tenth in the Premier League, Oldham are not. What a stupid comparison. I take it teams like Arsenal who have lost at Stoke rolled over as well.

Yeah, you're right, Stoke are a veritable JUGGERNAUT. How dare we play on the same pitch as them!

I know you are right it just amazes me what rubbish some people come up with. I also remember looking at a thread when I got back on Saturday which had people complaining about the team put out and commenting during the game and I think he was on it. If the FA Cup was such an opportunity for us you would have thought he would have wanted to go.

You really haven't got an argument have you, which is why you write crap like this. The fact is, whatever your opinion may be, Stoke are tenth in the Premier League whereas we are a very good League 1 side. A number of their players probably cost millions so anyone who feels we should have won is delusional.

No but they are RELENTLESS in what they do.

Yeah, right.

THPP has been happy as a happy thing since arch-hoofer Elphick's been relegated to the touchline in the League. Ankergren can stand there like a lemon with the ball at his feet for the entire ninety minutes for all I care, just as long as the teams below keep self-destructing at a rate of knots for the next couple of months.

They weren't that relentless. We gave them a two goal start.

So were you there? If not, with such an incredible opportunity to progress against such a poor team, what could possibly keep you away?

I'll say one thing about Gus's Passing Game: it's made one helluva lot of half-wits 'who understand football' feel a lot better about themselves

f*** going all the way to Stoke to see the manager disrespect the FA Cup.

So you knew the team before the game started then? What team selection disrespected the cup then?

We only progressed as far as the fifth round despite the manager, not because of him. Could at least have made it look convincing by selecting the first team keeper.

I'd have thought Scottish people were the last ones to comment on goalkeepers.

You couldn't even be bothered to turn up for our first fifth round game in 25 years so you are obviously not that bothered about the cup, are you?

As for the team selection, the general feeling is that Brezovan is better off his line than Ankergren, something that we needed at Stoke. Yes he had a poor game but Gus didn't know that. Anyone who seriously thinks we would have won if we had played the full strength available side, which seems to be Ankergren, El Abd and Sandaza coming in, is deluded and despite your dinosaur comments, I was at the game and believe me Stoke were a lot better than you are giving them credit for.

Good point, well made

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I was at the game

You should have said. Oh, sorry, you did. About twenty times.

And even on tinterlink it was clear to see that we gave them a two goal lead and were inept at keeping possession. Lot of unforced errors in the mix there.

Well maybe if you didn't get on your high horse about Gus' team selection when you couldn't even be arsed to go to the game, I wouldn't need to.

Are you as confrontational and humourless in real life? I'm not sure I've seen a single post of yours that suggests a sense of humour but I have seen innumerable posts with put downs and a lack of willingness to accept any tolerance of other people's opinions.
