I agree, players like Wes, Hucks at his best etc. Makes

you wonder why the hell anyone would go and watch Stoke though! I can't get over just how cynical their whole operation is. I didn't see us play them last year and I wondered if much of the criticism was unfair but after yesterday I realise it wasn't. Their whole game plan is based on cynically snuffing out the opposition. At one time they had a free kick in the second half and Adam (the diver!) took instructions from Pulis as to what to do with it. It's almost as if they've had every bit of creativity and individualism removed from them. Wes on the other hand is why we go to footy.
