Agreed ... but they ARE a Prem Team ( for this season anyway ) They did however, illustrate exactly the type of opposition we can expect in most matches in the CCC .... hard, uncompromising, physical, etc. Completely different to West Ham, who do like to play Football, like Saints But, IMHO, Saints "playing football " is their Achiiles heel. Last night, the Football was not quite as flowing as we had seen in previous matches, but WHY ?? .... quite simply, the opposition Sus it out and prevent you playing it. A few unpunished crunching tackles will soon deter youthful exhuberance. DMG up front in the CCC is NOT the answer. He MUST have help, possibly from Stern John, who has the muscle and experience to deal with the "ten thugs" scenario. Rasiak ?? Last night showed why no one wants him. running around like a headless chicken, and achieving nothing. To be realistic, we ARE going to struggle, but I don't think to the extent of being Relegation certainties.

So, let's say we draw Spurs in the Cup, and pre match Sales are 25500, who's good at SFC at estimating what the "walk up" will be ?? Neither Lowe, or the Club, are in a position to open up the corners at short notice, nor will it be in their plans to do so. The capacity is as is now, without the corners. They will not open them up just for the odd match

WHY does a "Club Spokesman" have to tell such a pathetic blatant LIE !!!!!!!!!

Stoke will be pretty much like the CCC Teams that we will come up against on a weekly basis. No finnesse, brick built centre backs, no frills, brute force etc. IF our FOOTBALL can overcome that, then I will think we are in with a shout this season. But all too often in the past have we seen any attempt at playing Football brushed aside by the "no nonsense" approach that DOES (unfortunately) seem to get results in the CCC Ironically, Poortvliet's method of play would have been ideal if we were still in the Prem, but not in the "last man standing" CCC My main worry, as I've mentioned before, is that we are TOO LIGHTWEIGHT up front. Goals win Games, but I can't see us scoring many in the League

..... so when he ends up at another UK Club ???????????

You might say... They have been "Jolly Jack Tarred" by thousands of semen over the years
