The most unprofessional, unsporting, unattractive, thuggish side I have ever seen play in the Premier League. The only thing I can credit Stoke on is their hard work to foul, rugby tackle and hurt opposition players as much as they possibly can, therefore throwing teams out of their sway.
You are an awful Football Club, and the fact that your fans encourage this style of play is beyond me. As I know that if Spurs played like that every week, I would not be a happy supporter.
Looking further into this, where/when does this style of Football stop for you? Fair enough, you were promoted and tried anything you could to stay in the division, and it worked. But are you content in seeing this ugly style of play in the foreseeable years? No flair type players are going to want to join a team that play more Rugby than Football, as they won't fit in and obviously will not show a liking to the style of Football Stoke produce.
You are now an established Premier League club, start playing with more dignity and sportsmanship. You never know, if you try and play Football the right way, that might work too.

Just a bitter Spurs fan, spouting out abuse against a side that played better and thoroughly deserved their win
Well done Stoke..!!!

I have to agree with the author.
I cannot believe people would pay money to watch Stoke. It is brutal football.
Fouling the opposition off the pitch, cheating and bending every rule in the book to gain any slight advantage.
No attempt whatsoever to actually play football.
Thats before we even talk about the referee. Probably the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen.
Even on match of the day, with what was described stokes best performance of the season, they could only find one clip, ONE, that showed them stringing 3 or 4 passes together.
The rest of the highlights were a collection of stoke throw ins and cheating/infringements from Stoke players that should have resulted in at least 3 Spurs penalties.
Stoke got more luck today than any team has accumulated this season.
Incredible.
I'm just glad we didn't go home with any players seriously injured, which is always a worry when playing against these shot-put throwers.
Huths tackle on defoe today was assault.
Anyway, tis only a game I suppose.
