    Don't discount Villa here vs City the Etihad is half empty.

    Having said that its just gone 1-0 to the not very noisy neighbours.

    What a great point .......... away from home at a team that beat Southampton in their last home game.

    FFS, we should be delirious at that result <ok>

    Much better second half, deserved the point and it's a good result away to Stoke just a shame that other results went against us today if we can reproduce the effort and attacking intent from the second half today in the remaining games I think that we'll stay up.

    I'd have happily been relegated with PDC if he'd been allowed to truly sort the club out ........... we're afucking shambles.

    Not so hot when those just below have hit better form than you!! To be fair we both are utter dross. I'd rather you stay up anyway. Good for the region.

    Well it wasn't a great day for the region. A few weeks ago I though maybe Boro, Sunderland and Newcastle would all be in the same league next year. It could still be the case, it just isn't the league I was expecting.

    Dear Brian,

    We took our chance early with the goal and made it 1-0; but Stoke came back into the game very well and created lots of chances.

    We had a few more opportunities to score with [Jermain] Defoe going close in the first half and then a couple of chances for [Connor] Wickham in the second.

    Costel [Pantilimon] showed today why he is a keeper of international pedigree, he did very well for us and [Will] Buckley returned and I thought he did well.

    You’ll always take a point away from home before the game starts and it’s good to take a point but other results around the league have not gone in our favour.

    I was much happier with the second half than I was the first; we worked a lot harder and looked a lot better.

    To come somewhere like Stoke and create as many chances as we did is a positive to take from the game.

    It is important that we build on those positives and take them into the game next weekend.

    Thanks for your support,Dick Advocaat

    Not seen the game or red anything about it but am very happy with the point. Could've been a better weekend but Aston Sherwood got beat. Most others went pretty well for us. I reckon that might kill burnley mind. To miss a pen then concede so quickly is a dagger. Hopefully that's one spot that isn't for us!

    Still in our own hands is the important thing. Southampton next week and a little bit of confidence going into it will be nice.

    I thought there was alot to be pleased about today's fight and effort against a strong team. It was a dream start undone by a dream goal.

    Problem is the dream goal came from a player we failed to pick up most of the game.
