I had to rub my eyes... Had a chuckle then started to think


DID you see what Ellis Short, chairman of Sunderland, said recently? 'We are not happy with finishing 13th, not happy at all'. How refreshing.
Here at Stoke we appear to be happy to reach 40 points and safety. Anything more is a bonus. This angers me, as I am convinced with the players we have, used in a positive manner, instead of playing with fear, at even some of the 'lower' grounds, we could do so much better.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH: Everton players celebrate a goal at the Britannia Stadium in May. Letter writer B W Johnson says the Toffees are a good benchmark for the standards the Potters should be aiming for next season, given their comparable squads.
The template is Everton. It is known they have very little money, yet they seem to be the 'best of the rest', season after season.
Everton have no better team than Stoke, but what they do have is a first-class manager.

Yep I can't stick the way stoke play footie, I hope they get relegated.
 

So if you don't rate Moyes as a manager, consider our squad to be no better than Villa's, sunderland's,or Stoke's, then you know nothing about football and shouldn't be considered an Everton fan ?
However should you **** of Moyes,the players,the fans,the board,the academy,etc. Then you become a knowledgeable superfan ?
 
People need to start realising that plucky little Everton of the 90's who barely evaded relegation is long gone. We have a very good side and as recent seasons show we've been able to mix it up with the best of them. The gap between us and Liverpool in terms of on the pitch quality is so small and we maybe even edge it when you write down our first XI compared to theirs (Although I wish we'd start proving it in the derby's ffs) although they have the added advantage of being able to spunk loads of money up the wall every season, and you know one time they'll get it right. We are a miles better side than Stoke. Miles. When we're not being gash that is.

Oh Everton.

If we had only half of the spending power of teams like Liverpool, Spurs etc we'd be right up there. No other club could do what we do with our lack of funding. Not moaning though, tbh whilst money would be fantastic, I'm a bit of a sado masachist when it comes to Everton. I like the emotional rollercoaster and what they put us through.

the gap between Everton and RS last season was psychological in my opinion.
Things will change, though.

i believe as well, if we beat them this season, i'm hoping we can start to get it into our heads that we are the better team and not bollox it up like the semi. Reminds me a bit of the ashes in 20065, once england finally believed they could beat the aussies, no matter what side they put england are giving them a right pasting now and don't even think about losing.

Tbf, we get a lot less media coverage than the likes of the teams above us and don't get enough credit for how good we really are. If this stoke fan were to watch us for a season i think he/she would be seeing just how good the likes of heitinga, fellaini, pienaar, jelavic etc. are and maybe retract their statement. If not, then they know nothing
 

I have always looked at our team and players with blue-tinted specs. I always believe we are well capable, man-for-man, of giving anyone a good seeing to on any given match day.

This would explain why I often have a face like a fiddle at the final whistle. :)

Can't wait for that.
 
I really think our first eleven with Pienaar should be challenging for the title, there are excellent, truly excellent players that play as a unified team there.

Crazy statement, I assume it's tongue in cheek.

Cahill is a poor AM (at present) and Coleman is a poor winger (at present). You need better players than we have to win titles, even if our first 11 was fit all season.

We can compete with any team in a one off game but our weaknesses would be shown up over a season.
