Just want to say a quick word on Stoke. To be fair, they're still alehouse bastards but they played much better football today, even if is under that cocksmoker Hughes. They looked genuinely threatening at times and not just from lumping it up the pitch.
As for us, there seems to be a real togetherness in the squad, as many have been saying. That save from the peno really had us celebrating, so much so that Stevie G practically punched Si in the face. Is it me or did this game feel like the most important day 1 game to win in fucking ages?
