I pray Stoke City get relegated soon - Here is why (video)

I'm not having it any longer. This has gone too far.

Somehow Stoke City has been guaranteed Premier League football for another season, when's this joke going to end?

Surely I'm not the only one who's tired of watching players like Jon Walters, Matthew Etherington, Cameron Jerome, Geoff Cameron and Ryan-bloody-Shawcross week in week out on our screens, am I?

Tony Pulis must feel a change is needed, a change of some sort? How can a man, with a brain like Tony's, but happy with the group of players he currently has?

If I was Tony, I'd be on the phone to Bill Kenwright almost straight after it was announced Moyes was leaving, the first opportunity to get away from Stoke and I would, but each to their own I suppose.

I'm not (I am) putting a dampener on the job Pulis has done at Stoke, but this joke has gone on long enough.

What made this entire shambles even more of a shambles, was that last season the Potters were in bloody Europe! Stoke City in Europe! Ryan Shotton & Co in Europe? No thanks. Not today. Not ever again. England knows never to make that mistake again.

I pray from the bottom of my heart, that the 2013/14 season brings Stoke City the curse of relegation that it so deserves. I pray that Pulis gets the job at a top club he deserves, so he can show he's not just a creator of pure evil, but can really guide a team to European glory and finally world dominance.

However, if anyone would like to discuss with me why Stoke City should survive again next season? Please feel free to comment below or find me on Twitter.

But for now, please watch the video below to see Fulham manager Martin Jol compare the Stoke City team, to a rugby team - Enjoy!

[garsdale]

mr taylor wilson iv heard some crap in my time but you seem to be an expert at it do us all a favour & keep your gob shut. thank you a loyal stoke stoke supporter

[Gav]

Wow, the league according to Taylor (nice moustache by the way) whom will be able to grace this league of yours? What's the qualifying criteria? You'd better submit the rules too the premier league in time for next season so they can kick the teams out that you don't like.

Bless.

I like to watch attractive football in England's top leagues, Stoke City simply don't know how to play attractive football. Throw me an e-mail: taylerwillson91@gmail.com should you wish to discuss this further.

You are now moaning like an Arsene Winjer and the Arsenel so called celebrities. If you wan to play non-contact football with a lot of diving fairies you are wellcome to it. So Stoke are a bit physical, so what, at least they can take it and don't fall about like they've been mortally wounded and surround the referee trying to get someone booked. It's great when people get upset because it only galvanises the fans

[stokie bob]

so stoke city fc are responsible for the type of football being played? does it not occur to you wilson that pulis brought the players to he club and is responsible for the tactics and style of play being shown, i wish he would apply for the everton job and let somebody come into stoke city that will play a better brand of football because it sure as hell is not the clubs fault but purely and simply the fault of the manager.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE KNOB, ARE ADRIAN DURHAM BY ANY CHANCE??????????????

[*sigh*]

This is coming from someone who is not fond of the way Stoke play, so I do hope you take it seriously (naturally I doubt it, but all the same).
Anyway, welcome to sports, not all teams play the same way. Are Stoke appalling to watch at times? Yes, their failure to change mindset is particularly disappointing. Do they currently deserve to be in the league? Also yes, a fairly good cup record and 5 years of (relative) league stability are enough evidence of this.
Lets move to the "article" itself. You cite Etherington and Cameron as players that you never want to see again, and yet those are two players who are quite technical (yes, even while playing for Stoke) and would not be out of place at somewhere like Swansea. Your blame should be directed at Pulis, not the players, if unattractive play-style was the point you were making. Further your video is of Martin Jol (a man who is second only to Wenger when it comes to speaking in unnecessary absolutes and hyperbole (it means extravagant and intentional exaggeration, because I'm guessing that you didn't know)) after a defeat.
If this is evidence and good writing to you, I sincerely hope you work to improve, because even compared to the other opinion articles on this site, this belongs about as much as "rugby in the premier league".

Idk why he's moaning about cameron jerome. cameron jerome is practically the best attacker stoke have. doesnt play as much but he is clearly a problem for defenders given his strength and speed.

[Stokey]

Wanker!
