Stoke City, gamer, skeptic.
Well Stoke were useless. No plan, no quality, no desire. As bad as I’ve seen us in some time. We’ve only got worse under this manager and I can’t see it changing.

Three teams worse than Stoke in this league? Plymouth, Hull and Oxford - but it’s close. Feels like we’re closer to going down than ever, mainly because we seem to get worse each week. Fans are fed up, players are useless and the club’s plan seems to just be more of the same.

Not optimistic about today, but when I feel like this Stoke normally do well. But then that makes me optimistic, so we’ll probably lose. Whatever happens I called it!

1. I reiterate that I don't think bots/trolls get how comprehensive the "block" function here is.

2. I also think they don't quite get how prevalent "don't engage, just block" is as an ethos here.

3. Bluesky is a neighborhood party: everyone is welcome until they're a jerk. Then out they go.
