How this competition has been dumbed down over the past 25yrs is a moment of shame & embarrassment for everyone involved in football decision making.
Absolutely scandalous.
My view
Fa cup semis back to neutral venues
Restore all replays
The FA Cup final 3pm final day of season
Have to say for numerous reasons not just tonight itโs time for Cressida Dick to take early retirement. If I was a front line copper seeing what Iโm seeing tonight I would have not a shred of confidence left in those in senior command

I can already write your script for tomorrow.I suggest you get Barry Gardiner on to try & justify himself & his actions tonight during this pandemic. Then put calls in to

I hope Stokeโs first team squad are bloody proud of themselves. Youโve aged a superb young manager 10yrs in nine months and put him through hell. What an absolute disgrace you are and have been over the last four years virtually permanently for every manager weโve had.

I have to say the BBCโs Huw Edwards and Clive Myrie have been brilliant. Both clearly incredibly moved and close to tears. Brilliant tone they are setting.

Jonathan Van Tam is another incredibly authoritative figure in the British fight against Coronavirus. Just oozes authority and knowledge. Proud of our medical govt advisors. All of them seem outstanding people to me.

Iโm sure I speak for Stoke fans when I say some of the greatest times as a Stoke fan have been singing Delilah at full blast in a packed home crowd, or away or indeed at Wembley. How dare any woke wanker or protest group come out with any spurious bollocks to stop us singing it.

If Nuno Esperito Santo has applied for the Stoke job weโd be absolutely mad to say no. He knows the area, what the people here want and has genuine connections with agents who can bring in quality from Portugal and that region.

Well after nearly giving me a seizure in the second half losing the ball that often in our half that was a brilliant ending. What a couple of home games thatโs been. Thatโs my Stoke

What a lovely little interview that is. I donโt think Iโve seen Harrison Ford like that before.

1977/8 I first saw this man act and I loved him then and ever since. Iโm sure heโs made so many people smile over the years in cinemas & at home

Iโve kept it quiet until now but my wife & daughter have needed tests for COVID 19 late this week: Appointment booked online & within an hour, tests conducted at bet365 and results already provided - negative. Please donโt let anybody tell you this testing regime isnโt working.

Gary Rowett doing a great job at Millwall, & Nathan Jones suddenly looks like a manager again. Do you know at some point Stoke City Football Club are really going to have to have a look at themselves and sort it out whatever our problem is

1/5 Iโm going to make a plea now that I may fall on deaf ears but please letโs refrain from personal abuse towards MON on Saturday whatever happens. He does not deserve it and letโs remember he did save this club from oblivion when he joined.

How well has Jordan Thompson played in the last 10 games or so when it really mattered. Iโm sure heโs changed a lot of peopleโs opinions of his ability to start for us going forward.

Couldnโt agree more Douglas. Iโm actually now sensing enthusiasm from brexiteers similar to the referendum day to actually get out there and sound the loudest message possible by voting for Farage and saying we want no deal now and get the hell out

Massive shout out to the crowd too, as weโve said if the players bring it, we are there. Great to see Afobe interacting with the crowd and welcoming the encouragement and the manager out on the pitch at the end wow what passion

Gary Rowett has saved this club from relegation perhaps we shouldnโt be so harsh on him because Jones record would have put us in league one. Absolutely incredible.

I find the comments about Bojan incredibly distasteful from Rowett who as yet has done sod all to endear himself to our fans in the same way. Compare this to the player himself who has actually made us estastic watching him in the premier league. Show some respect Rowett

@stokecity
Very pleased for two people in particular, Alex Neil who hopefully now can just get on with his job with the support of us all.
Dwight Gayle has equally had to endure some absolute tosh from some stokies. Heโs a superb goalscorer in this league

I donโt think thatโs very fair at all, the guy on the right is leading the free world in doing everything it can including militarily to help the guy on the left and the guy on the left has publicly thanked Britain for doing so. Tbf this has certainly shown Boris in a new light

Itโs not often this happens in your life but Iโm afraid I had a dressing down from my 9yr old now very passionate stoke fan daughter last night who said I was wrong to criticise Paul Lamberts appointment until weโd seen what he can do. She has convinced me to give him a chance ๐ณ
