You're absolutely spot on fella. Have been saying the same. We now compete in every single game. We're in a much better place than we ever were.

Weirdo.

That's good work! Nice job, looks smart.

Christ, what a bunch of weirdo's. Of all teams, to see Stoke complaining about us playing long ball is hilarious. They are probably the most dull team in the history of the PL, they will get relegated at some point in the next few years, so they best enjoy it as they are. It might be rose tinted glasses, but from where I was sat we dominated most of that first half and looked pretty good for it. Not sure why they think they're some sort of Barcelona all of a sudden, they're a bog standard english team punching above their weight.

When will the mods wake up to this pillock? Dull.

Isn't this old news?

That goal was a carbon copy of Rickies from earlier!

This is a bloody great game.

Wigan also play Villa - will be an interesting one.

I don't know if you're being serious or not, but that is a bloody funny post.

If only it was that black and white. I can't even be arsed to debate it.

Same was said about Ramirez, a lot of it is just talk though.January is a month of rumour, gossip, and very little truth.

But then a win is probably ''in spite of everything'' anyway.

Arsenal are an odd team, you can never really say what Arsenal will turn up. The Bradford result is a fine example. Take the game to them, put them under pressure, and they will buckle. Goals in this for sure - probably for both!

He did a pretty fine job on the hole of getting his tactics right today. Bloody fans.

We don't really though, do we? We conceded 3 today for the first time since WHU I think....not too bad. So, no, we don't really concede many these days. Today was a funny one though.

Eh? calm down. He was poor today, and was in the last game. He's not a PL keeper.

I'm also confused about the reputation Boruc has got. Simply, it just seems to have stemmed from the altercation he had with our fans??? Because when he palyed, he didn't do much wrong. Not sure why he doesn't play.

Wouldn't say anything like that is hanging on this game, way too early to have that sort of game. If it was in April, or May - probably, but not in January. They're not great, never really rated them. Very young, but young with little quality. We can win up there, I'm sure of it.

We'll be alright, all a bit too panicky on here. We've turned into such a competitive PL team now (some people will disagree, but I think we're a different side to that which started the season). Bring on Arsenal, Villa and Everton. Points up for grabs there.

Totally, could have easily lost that in the 2nd half.

This is pretty much how I see it. Frustrating, but all said a done - a good point. Not many teams get anything up there. Still, we go into January within touch of a load of teams and we can address the few problems we have. I actually don't think we're too bad at all. Apologies for saying that...!

If it was me, Puncheon would have been subbed for Mayuka...not Richardson. Odd one that.

He's an easy scapegoat for this one. He doesn't help himself with misses like that! Changed the game, at 4-1 it was done, dusted. But he had a fanstiac 1st half, best he's played in the PL for us - 2nd half he was poor though, ball retention sloppy and he didn't cause half as many problems.

Very flappy, not the sort of GK you want against the aerial bombardment that is Stoke. We were lucky we didn't lose that in the 2nd half. Not too confident with him.
