***Official Match Thread: Stoke v City***

[City64]

Well done City ! Fingers crossed for Sergio ,Fuck off Chelski slutchy bastards !!!

Back for Newcastle at home , Lanzarote over and out :-)

[Ted Hughes]

Well done to the Count. Must have given them the full shape shifting undead treatment at half time.

Came out with a lot of purpose 2nd half & looked a different team. That 2nd goal was fucking fantastic. If we play football like that, teams can't stop it.

The defence was fucking shit, all of them, the two fullbacks in particular, but if we attack with confidence like that, we are still in with a big shout.

The attacking unit looked like they were getting their mojo back 2nd half, apart from Dzeko, who really really needs a goal. bony could make a huge difference to that squad.

Chelsea's difficulty in beating Everton suggests they are by no means certainties to win all their games, especilly when the real pressure kicks in. A few draws will do if we hit our top form.

Tonight was like Rocky picking himself up off the canvas, & getting a few punches in, before going back to his stool ready for the next round. Week off to get bony ready. Big night, perhaps.

[zuricity]

Dzeko is defiantly no longer part of our jigsaw puzzle...he can fuck off as well in the summer.

Rate your going Carl we will only have Kun. :-)

Nonsense Carl. Edin has been supplied crap tonight.

[Beefymcfc]

Finished early and got the Warsteiner in the fridge, cooling nicely, and I'm looking forward to the team getting themselves together and the manager picking the right team and tactics.

It's always a difficult one at a cold away night in Stoke and it doesn't help that we've got that little shit Mason refereeing the game but I've got that feeling that we might just break the whoodoo down there.

Come On The Blues!!!

Beefy is that a warsteiner in a fridge in Germany ?

Sure was pal and they were lush!

As for the game, what a fucking shock to start off in that way to go on to win in such a way. You could see us getting more and more into the game, confidence beginning to show. As one player picked up it seemed to rub off on the next; is it because they know Yaya's back?

Our back 5 looked lost in the 1st 20 and Joe was shocking. Mangala was all over the place and I'm not sure if Vinny was even on the pitch - I think we subbed him on after 35 mins.

The 2nd half was a totally different game where after 10 minutes we looked like the team of last season. What helped was that Hughes wanted to win which left gaps in the back, allowing us at least a chance to have a go. And it worked.

The referee didn't help us though. The amount of times we were kicked, pulled and shoved off the ball without being given anything was staggering. What compounded it for me was about 6 minutes into the 2nd half when Dave Silva was hoofed off the ball with nothing given yet 30 seconds later Kolarov did the same to one of their players and he was automatically pulled up.

All-in-all I think we were well deserving of the win, the score dictates that. The only downside was the Chelsea win after Gaz Baz was sent off. The ref wasn't going to until the Chavs surrounded the referee to which he duly obliged. However, he missed a little incident when Ivanovich pushed his fod into an Everton player, even though he was looking straight at it. Chelsea are a fucking joke and the way they manage their game is fucking sickening if you have anything about you when it comes to sportsmanship. Horrible cunts, and that's not Blue Tinted.

As long as Sergio is fine, he was smiling, and with Yaya coming back and Bony coming in, I'm looking forward to the run-in. Are you Mourinho?

[sheblue]

The team of two halfs! Very good going forward in the second half. Christ hart and mangala were very poor. Hart kicked the ball back to them constantly.
Milner brill tonight.

I think Aguero was just cramp.

[iwasthere2012]

I hope to Jaysus, there is going to be an emphasis on the positives tonight. 4-1 away to Stoke for Christ's sake. A lot of shakiness. Accepted. But come on.
That has to be a confidence booster. Hope Kun is ok. Dzeko is rusty(being nice there). Yaya coming back Bony out to impress. It looks a lot better than last Saturday. Nasri and Silva showed glimpses of what they are capable of.

He he ! Enjoying a second bitburger vom Fass,
in a great little hotel just off the Reeperbahn ! strangely quiet these days.....

great result with a weird game plan. It seems like allowing Stoke to come at us worked ,because they did play an open game. You know, not like Chelsea playing a back six and three just 5 metres away in midfield.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

I think Aguero was just cramp.

They were saying it was his hip on the radio. Although Fred Eyre thought it might be ebola.

[blues2win]

Brennan says Aguero seems to have a slight back problem, nothing serious. With Bony coming into contention Dzeko looks like he's going to be third choice striker which he won't like. I know he's been injured at times but he's hardly scored any goals this season. Not good enough.

[Sparklehorse]

We've beaten all the red stripes away. There's shurely shome mishtake !!

[london blue 2]

I think Aguero was just cramp.

I thought he had a decent game handball aside.

[Slim]

Good to see Nasri playing well, Silva getting back to form and Aguero scoring.

Our first ever Premier League win at the Brittania as well, not a bad night at all.

A few miles away pal over the otherside of Dusseldorf. Had a few Bitburgers last night after golf and will be sharing a few at the carnival this weekend. Love Germany, it's where it's at.

And Chelsea, fuck 'em!

A beautiful night mate, on a cold Wednesday evening in Stoke. Loved it.

Yeah i caught a bit of their TV fasching Carnival ...

this weekend it goes crazy. Even when i get home , next week and on until 7th March is one big piss up. fortunately i am away from the women with their scissors next week !

[london blue 2]

If Nasri plays well, our attack plays well.

One man team?






Im just getting in there before anyone else does.

[Beefymcfc]

If Nasri plays well, our attack plays well.

Nasri actually sped it up the 2nd half and a became a part of why we walked the game in the end. We all know he's got it, it's just taken a little time after injury. A bit like a few others which has made it even more frustrating as we're waiting for one of them to hit form.
