    Ibrahim Afellay

    Ibby has torn his cruciate ligament. Dreadful shame as he's been arguably our best player this season, certainly one of them. Team has gone on holiday now. Shipping goals for fun.

    Another goal for Bojan yesterday. A header...... yep, we're all as confused as you are :D I've never seen him win a header in his life haha, but he took it nicely. Shame the goalkeeper had a nightmare for us, gifted Liverpool their goals. Bojan is back to his best though. It's taken time and...

    Not a fan of the whole Stokelona thing myself. We should aim to be ourselves ;) That said, I do think it's good that we are willing to take some of Barca's discarded youth talent and give them a second chance. Players like Muniesa who were never likely to break into the Barca squad are...

    Bojan Krkić

    Just a quick update. Bojan started and looked back to his best, scoring a lovely goal in the process. He very nearly set up another for Afellay too. For some strange reason, Hughes took him off just as we were pushing for a third and we lost all momentum and threw away 2 points. Story of our...

    Jack Butland is a good keeper, with the potential to go on to be maybe one of the best in the world. We're not getting too jumpy yet. He's still got a long way to go imo. We've been lucky enough to enjoy some superb keepers in recent years. Asmir Begovic was our number 1 for many seasons (who...

    Bojan Krkić

    Afellay has been starting ahead of Bojan in that deep attacking role, not Walters. We tend to utilize Walters on the right hand side of the wing, partly because Shaqiri is injured right now, but also because.... and I know it probably seems a mystery to Barclona fans (hell fans from other teams...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    Right now, hard as it may seem to believe, Afellay is one of the front runners for Player of the Season along with Marko Arnautovic and Jack Butland. The guy is absolutely class and has had a wonderful season for us so far. His versatility is partly what makes him so useful. What a signing he's...

    Bojan Krkić

    Another update. Still getting a rest on the bench, although he had a great cameo against Chelsea basically setting up our equalizer. I imagine he's very frustrated. He doesn't like time on the bench, but I am sure Hughes has explained why he's getting it. The last thing we want is to cause any...

    Bojan Krkić

    Quick update. Bojan is having an extended period on the bench. I think it's fair to say that having not had a pre-season, we overplayed him when he returned from injury and it finally caught up with him. Against Liverpool, he was really struggling. Looked tired and seemed to lack the...

    Bojan linked with a 15 million move to Liverpool. In the words of me.... fuck off Kloppity Klopp.

    Bojan Krkić

    Just an update on our little gem. He played fantastically on Saturday against Man Citeh. Stoke should have won about 6-0 (and that's no exaggeration), we fucking battered them. It was 2-0 in the end, Arnautovic getting them both but Bojan could have had a few. A very good save by Joe Hart...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    I think it's a clever move. No, he's not what he was, but you're judging him from Barcelona's standpoint. Muniesa was probably nowhere near your level, but for us he's been outstanding. We have to judge from our level, and if Afellay can bring any of his true ability to our game then that is...

    We've been slowly improving with time. I'm looking forward to seeing Afellay :)

    Big media outlets now reporting ACL for Bojan. Absolutely broken for the kid. Has been terrific for us. Pretty sure suicide rates in Stoke have just tripled.

    Bojan Krkić

    Hello, StokeFan here again, Bojan scored a worldly last night. Then went off with what could be a serious injury. Worries that it might be a cruciate ligament. This would ruin our season as he's fast becoming player of the season :( #PrayForBojan
