Stoke City 1-1 Everton. 1st May at 19.45.

[Dublintoff]

Despite the draw and only 1 Peter Crouch goal (who sayz he's not good enough for us?) I thought we passed it around well in the final 1/3. Unfortunately stoke played really well defensively and took their chance when they had it. For some reason I don't think Gibson would have been caught forward on Stoke's goal.

Stoke doesn't really bother me, its nice to have a team like them around to push around soft teams. I like their fans too (that Wenger cheer is brilliant).

There was 3 mistakes for me in the build up to their goal.

1) we tried to force things at the edge of their box when there was no pass on and gave possesion away rather than play it back and keep the ball

2)Jags or Heitinga should have made the foul on jerome and took the yellow card rather than let him run at us while we were on the back foot

3)Howard went to ground way too early. If he stands tall there he makes the save easily.

thank fok i dont have to go there again ,horrible horrible team ,and a ground full of fooken zombies ,they booed them off at half time what for ,not winning enough throw ins , hate that club manager players fans and ground , how can any one watch that every week

 

[Dom1878]

Hated the way they booed Anichebe for being quite obviously injured, even whilst he was being subbed. Idiots. Also, hated the way because they got a tiny bit of recognition of the wenger abuse on MOTD they think they are boss doing it in mocking Pienaar.

Howdy from Mordor, you know it is funny how everyone think's their ****hole is much better than our ****hole anyway..........

Quick browse through and although i like some of the witty comments let me assure you that altho we rub it against certain clubs who moan after playing us (Arsenal, Spurs e.t.c) i would say 99% of Stoke fans are getting sick of watching us every week now. Pulis should be knighted for the job he has done up until now BUT.......his negative football away from home and his constant use of players who offer nothing more than running round like blue arse flys for 90 mins (Walters, Whitehead, Whelan) is really starting to annoy alot of Stokies and some would be happy to see the back of him!
I personally think that is rash and hope he proves me wrong in the transfer window. I am getting sick to death of hearing him use excuses like we have played 56 games and the opposition has some fantastic players. Frankly it is getting boring and altho it is funny to see us score from a set play against the big boys as they like to have a winge after (Wenger) we have to change our style because frankly the stats don't lie the lowest scorers in the Prem and not far off in all 4 divisions tells it's own story!

Although we come across as not caring what people think and the media we do care when we pay £35 a week to watch negative football!!

Anyway no problems with Everton a proper football club like us and looking forward to visiting beautiful Merseyside next year

Welcome to GOT and stick around. We'll always need an opinion from the opposition.

Nice one mate, didn't realise many of you felt that way.

Rant begins:

About the ****hole stuff, if you're coming to Goodison then visit the city centre down by the docks and Liverpool one. Most away fans just see the area around the ground which is one of the worst in Liverpool* or visit town around Lime Street where, again, it's the roughest part. Liverpool is truly one of the best cities you'll ever visit and its reputation based on 40 years ago and what the Daily Mail say is massively undeserved. Anyone who's visited will tell you that.

Rant ends.








*sorry Anfield/Walton lids, I used to live there and lots of my family still do. Please don't kill me ffs.

Osman was frustrating for me, poor shooting and decision making in the front third. Would have liked Barkley to replace him in the last 15 or so. Can't fault the way we went about it though except for the goal. How can two experienced defenders jockey a striker, 30-35 yds away from goal, all the way into their own penalty area without making a challenge? Crazy defending that! I will agree that Gueye looks a yard or two off the pace to play on the wing. May need perhaps some specialized sprint training in the off-season.

I think Anichebe was playing really well until his injury. I can't believe the crowd booed him.

Yes i have been on the piss plenty of time in Liverpool its a top night and Paddy's day was a eye opener!! Shame we lost to your neighbor's the next day in the QF! But come off it you clearly have not been to Hanley on a Saturday night?! You don't need ring side seats to view abit of girl on girl bashing and actually the lads getting kicked the **** out of by their missus.
Plus you need to try a oatcake its like a mini orgasm in your mouth as you chew!

I think Anichebe was playing really well until his injury. I can't believe the crowd booed him.

His dink, turn, and low-cross across the face to where Jelavic should have been was pretty nifty. I think the crowd may have been a bit "Oh... soz" after he actually got subbed off.
