A fantastic display of sanctimonious, patronising bullshit - an insult to anyone's intelligence. Yes, I'm sure Ryan's a lovely chap and spends his spare moments pressing flowers and helping old ladies across the road... And how fucking annoying is the Stoke Chairman?

It seems as if to quote another blog ( love you Alan) that they have gone into Mugabe media lockdown as to what actually happened, how can we prevent it if the media is scared to say what actually happened. 'Holic by the way love the blog and agree so much with the original statement.....seems we dont like it up us and when on occasions we play the others at their own game we are immediately branded cheats, dirty or petulant. I suppose it just goes with being a gooner and supporting the club whos values and style you love. have just been listening to BBC radio5 and they say Aaron suffered a broken leg………like he suffered a cold…….surely they should have said Aarons leg was broken by Shawcross.

The Bad
The media in general. Few journos stuck their necks out in support. Surprisingly Samuels from the Daily Mail and Lewis from the Mirror. Talkshite who really are an odious bunch of cunts say “it’s all part of the game”.

I haven’t read all of the overwhelming number of responses to this, so I may be repeating comments elsewhere, but can I just add that I really find it hard to believe that Dixon and Keown – 2 players for whom I have immense respect – are so desperate for work that they are willing to follow the BBC party line on this shit. I cannot believe they would have subscribed to such views when they were at the club so why come out with this now? Shameful.
