Given my self imposed exile from the oatcake (2 weeks Tuukka Rask Women Jersey now), I have been unable to vent my opinions on some of the key debates regarding my beloved Potters on that forum, so I have decided to set them down in a blog, how regular these will occur is an unanswerable question at this time.The Relegation I sueWhilst i dont want to see my team get relegated, hell it took us 23 years to get back into the top flight, it would not be the unmitigated disaster that some would have us believe. In my opinion apart from the top 6 teams the standard of football isnt leagues ahead of the league below, however it has to be said that I havent been to as many games as I would have liked, or of some others, I have however benefited from the above mentioned over exposure by having seen many games over the internet or on Sky and Setanta, and listened to almost every other via Stoke City World and their relaying of Radio Stokes commentary acro s the internet. We are in the situation we are in because Tony Pulis is a stubborn old goat who has attempted to get a draw in away games, and failed miserably on all but 3 occasions, we have shown time and again that we can hold our own in this division in home games when we play to our strengths, yet for reasons known only to him, we havent played to the same strengths in away games that were far more winnable than some of our home games that we have won. His stubborn persistence with playing Richard Cre swell an average to poor Championship striker on the left wing or even up front, whilst leaving Sean Kuraly Women Jersey our record signing of 5.5M Dave Kitson on the bench is unfathomable, or 2.5M of Left midfielder Michael Tonge both proven Premiership player.I cant fault Pulis in home games, I cant fault him on 90% of his signings, I am at a lo s to explain what goes through his mind when it comes to away games, its like he has some kind of mental block with them, could we have 2 managers ? Pulis for home games, and bring back Johan Boskamp for away games On the subject of relegation, yes its po sible to survive without winning an away game Patrice Bergeron Jersey , and more than one team has managed it, Coventry City finished 14th in 1999/2000 with no away wins, and 7 draws.The Pulis has blown XM on I sue Chiefly this debate centers on some peoples inability to grasp that football is a SQUAD game these days, and frankly the squad that some famously got us promoted was threadbare, and some people forget this. It was SO threadbare at the start of out promotion season that we were in fact tipped to be relegated by some of our own fans due to its lack of depth . So yes we have spent a LOT of money on players who arent getting games regularly, however we NEEDED to spend that kind of money to bring some depth to our squad, if only to bring it up to the level it should really have been for a team going for promotion. As for the all that money wasted i sue, not a penny has been wasted until the player is sold for le s than he was bought, and his age and contract length taken into account. What nobody ever seems to mention is that we (Tony Pulis) failed to waste 4M on Scott Carson by getting Soresen, a far better keeper on a BosmanThe History of Stoke CityWhen I graduate from my History degree Id love to write a book on the history of Stoke Steven Kampfer Jersey City, to clear up the grey areas, lay waste to some of the myths, and set down the facts about Stoke City.Stoke City FC are the 2nd oldest PROFFESIONAL ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL TEAM STILL IN EXISTANCE, is the closest you will get to a definitive statement on it at this time.
