Great win...I hate Sjoke with a passion.
That Huddersfield win isn’t looking too shabby either. They won again tonight and are in the mix themselves.
Glatzel was outstanding when he came on. He was strong, too. Superb. Awful game but two sides that are hard to beat and don't make it easy for each other. What a fantastic win.
Ojo is a good player, quick and works hard but I've never seen anyone run the ball out as much as he does. It is ridiculous how often he does it.
10 injuries and a 3rd choice goalkeeper recalled from loan. You can only piss with the c0ck you've got. Not seen a lot of Stoke this year but think O'Neill has done a great job in turning them around and they've defiantly matured this season as a half decent footballing side on occasions.Quote:

and when TOBW asked how many points we'd get from the 6 games from Watford I said 14, so I'm happy to have 6 already. :biggrin:
I did wince when the commentator bemoaned Shawcross's injuries. That said. The last couple of times I have been away there the people are really welcoming. Had a proper Oatcake before they gave us a spanking a couple of years ago.Quote:

Didnt like to say it, but just what I was really thinking.Quote:

Please give the goalie SOME CREDITQuote:

Absolutely. Both teams were cream crackered and with crowds not there to spur the players on it was very difficult for them to get a second wind. Mozzas goal knocked the stuffing out of them. We won’t see out a game as easy as that all season.Quote:

Great result on a very difficult night
Moore had less service tonight and was also outplayed. He looked knackered from early on but he kept going and Glatzell picked up the baton.Quote:

They keep mention 9 million, did they really pay that for him?Quote:

I just read the whole thread, funny how they went from Real Madrid to real shite as it progressed. Funny how the majority of opposition fans don’t give credit to the side that’s beating them, we were crap, shite etc, hard to get a bit of praise for a job well done. It should be realised that to have success in the Championship these are the type of fixtures that bring it.Quote:

Didn't realise how tight the table is.
We are 9th, 2 points off 6th, only 5 points off top!
Let's do the Jacks now!
If they did. It's ****ing ridiculous, but not his fault. They should be getting on the back of whoever paid that.Quote:

There was a period during the 00s that the fixture started to resemble a bit of a derby. I remember plenty of ill will, some disorder and “that” PA announcement of course...Quote:

Prior to this game they'd conceded more than anyone else in the top half of the table, and many in the bottom half too. And I think we saw evidence of that for our 2 goals, as soon as we put them under any type of pressure they left us unmarked in the box twice.
The reason they are up where they are is they've scored a lot of goals, and until Campbell and Brown had to go off they had us pinned back due to their pace. I think the Campbell injury changed the game.
