Stoke City gambled in 2008 when their wages to turnover ration was 106%. If they hadn't gone up they would have been in big trouble. In the 1st season in the PL it fell to a very commendable 56%. But when all's said and done the Coates family have put £40m into the club, most of which has been conv...

Yorkshire Royal But we are certain the booing helped right?

We just didn't boo enough.

Shane Long's career progression shows the benefits of motivational booing beyond any sensible doubt.

Irrefutable proof I would say.

But we are certain the booing helped right?

Motivational booing has been shown to work time and time again... As shown with Seol Ki-Hyeon. I miss that guy.

Stoke are not interested. maybe not but they have just lost faye to west ham on a free, so they're recruiting. Not even on their radar. Too slow. Or Player looks at where he'd live in Wolves, Stoke or Blackburn Player looks at Emma who has decided she's staying around here Player decides which opti...

Stoke are not interested.

Well it's a related contingency, so you wouldn't normally be able to place that bet. They have Shane first to score at 4/1 and him to be top scorer and 6/1. So the "real price" of the double is more like 34/1. But as it's related (if he scores first he is more likely to finish season as to...

Spazzers..

Did Mills do something to your family?

Cheers for the headsup... 9/1 at 365. 11/1 at Hills.

25/1 with EW to 3 places is way, way too big. It won't be there for long, so get on while you can...

Got to love football agents....

Just wondering as I've not read all 15 pages, but has anyone had a moral objection to BWP's transfer? Just with the whole allegations of thieving and violence I would expect the moral guardians of Hobnob to object. Let's be honest, this has got Leroy Lita mk II all over it. Which is better than Lita...

Money on how shit he is?

He's just a bit shit really.

Long's just a bit.. well..shit really.. anyone who watches him knows this. You can have stats and debates, but you can't get away from the fact, that he is not very good at football.

Apparently they think the Sonko/KItson deals are an indication of this On the basis of the Sonko and Kitson deals I would have thought Stoke would be furious with us. I got the impression TWYI's comment was very much tongue in cheek.. We have a good relationship with Stoke, which has been somewhat ...

IIRC motivational booing was scientifically proven to improve Seol Ki-Hyeon's game. Maybe it would work for Long?

I think it's too late for Howard though...

Probably would have won if we had any strikers of note. Although from what I could tell, that was a stone-wall penalty at the end. So you need to be happy with the point I reckon.
