It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.

The James McLean signing 2 summers ago summed it up. £6m for a very limited 29 year old winger on a lucrative 4 year contract. That is not the act of a well run forward thinking football club. If you are the selling club you can pat yourself on the back.

I think the Berahino transfer probably summed their dealings up at least equally as well.

Some surprisingly complimentary comments amongst the angst.

e.g "superb Luke Dowling...." :o

The owners are doing alright.
Bet365 made a profit before tax of £791m in the year, compared with £661m the year before.

The group of firms owns Stoke City Football Club, which made a loss of £8.7m in the year.
Bet365 boss Denise Coates has received a £320m payday, confirming her position as the UK's best paid executive.

The co-founder of online gambling firm was paid a £277m salary plus dividends as the popularity of online gambling continues to grow.

The firm's accounts show that in the year to end-March her salary rose from £220m on the previous period.

I was absolutely dreading the thought of seeing Chris brunt in that red and white striped shirt. I can live with it a little easier after yesterday.

Im not being a suck up but i do love 'We'll be with you' as their walk out music. Its properly patriotic as far as club anthems go (That or Delilah).

And the £18m each on Wimmer and Imbula. The McClean deal is nothing compared to those and was par for the course for a then relegated prem player with many international caps.

If anything we got McLean cheaply for £1.5m.

Much more money in fees has been wasted on players much worse than McLean and if his stance towards the Poppy wasn't an issue people appreciate his attributes more.

Nice one, one of their posters quoted my "r2 d2 message help us Michael O'Neil, you're our only hope.", from here.

Tbh I often read the oatcake as it is funny as hell, no holds barred stuff on there.

The Oatcake's a good read with a lot of humour and I browsed through that thread earlier. Quality posts from Old Stokie (Jimeye) and AlliG. The occasional anti Albion post on said Fred adds balance. Opposition's not always entirely friendly and I'm more than fine with that. Stoke have some total meat heads but at the same time a lot of really good lads. Not going soft but I've certainly got more time for them than for a number of their several thumbed granny bum banging turd cousins at 'Vale. As an aside it was very good to beat those at the real Wembley. Here's hoping we get the three points required for us and Jimeye's memory v QPR.

Indeed that was a sad story about Jimyeye and the point about them following us in terms of up and down is very  true.

They are third on my hit list behind Vile and Dings. They were battered by us 6 nil in only my second match and then they dominated us for many years from Stein and rooster Russell to Fuller and Ethrington.

I hate that Boing, Boing bag of **** song they sing.

I studied in Stoke and used to go to their night games with a Stoke fan friend and I was totally ambivalent towards them then.

Never had an issue with the Vale though.

From Stokes point of view we are their most played opponent and also their most defeated opponent, they really ought to lay a spread on every time we turn up.
Beating Brentford is the least they could do.
I know a few Stokies, some a very reasonable people and one or two are physcos but good value to be fair.

I know a few of the 'naughty forties' and I bet they have a good giggle and maybe being known as reasonable people
