The2ndMouse Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Funny thing is that depending on how the Premiership ends .. Stoke can also have a shot at the Europa League! Toni Pulis is a good manager and works a lot with loans and good trials before signing players. He has shown that he did not get sucked in the financial opening needed for the Premiership and produced a good middtable squad. This year, they also added some style in their usually boring, yet effective, game too. If they do manage to get a European Spot and they can digest this new level fast ... (because it also needs depth in the bench etc) they are set for better and more permanent things! :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro2004 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It was an astonishing performance. I thought Bolton would make it. Pulis is one of the shrewdest managers in the league and it's totally unfair that Stoke get stigmatised as a long-ball team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The2ndMouse Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 when the England legend takes his seat at Wembley for Saturday's FA Cup final, he will be hoping his beloved Stoke City can take care of some unfinished business from more than 40 years ago. Banks held aloft the Jules Rimet trophy in 1966 but he never got his hands on the FA Cup, despite being within touching distance on several occasions. He appeared in two finals for Leicester City, losing to Tottenham in 1961 and Manchester United in 1963, but it is being reminded of defeats by Arsenal in two semi-finals with the Potters in 1971 and 1972 that still makes him angry, four decades on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chrisbevan/2011...1/05/banks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
