They are a complete joke of a football team. Not once in our game today did they look like they even tried to play football, they were too worried about trying to take out our players, yet people, including the referee's seem to let this carry on week after week just because, 'this is how stoke play'. How they didn't get more cards and/or players sent off I don't know.
On another note, Suarez is really beginning to p!ss me off, why does he have to dive all the time? No wonder we never get any penalties when we actually deserve them? What the hell was he doing earlier when he tripped in the box, bounced back up, then flopped back down again calling for a penalty when there was no one near him.
I do have to say though, both Sterling and Suso look better every time they play, they really don't look out of place. Some of the challenges that Sterling rode through today would have had Suarez or most other players rolling around the pitch for about 5 minutes. Also, Cole didn't look too bad when he came on today, although I would rather have kept Sahin on.

Stoke...., a bunch of half-breeds. Thugs of the highest order, led by a dense manager. We should not expect more from them.

Interestingly Stoke had more possession than Liverpool according to BBC stats.

How can you ask/question the bookings? Using this logic should Suarez be red carded weekly for simulation?

remember when they came to the Bridge a few weeks back and thinking exactly the same
negative doesn't even begin to describe it. genuinely unpleasant team, their supporters bring new meaning to the term
what annoys me is how much support they get from the pundits and experts

BBC always get their stats wrong recently.
Possession was 64 -36

for once liverpool fans i agree, have said it for a long time, hate stoke as a team, dirty, fouling bas tards last season at the brittania they should have had 2 off in the opening 15 minutes against us and their fans are a disgrace, booing aaron ramsey for having the nerve to have his leg broken by one of their thugs

So Tony Pulis has said that Stoke didn't deserve 6 yellow cards today. What was he watching? He really is in the wrong sport.
Disgusting team!

He's right, they didn't deserve 6 yellows, they deserved 6 and 1 or 2 reds.

Yeah, they're a vile stain on the premiership etc. Can't disagree there.
Problem is you've gotta beat them and demonstrate that the philosophy's wrong, otherwise they just stick around and prosper through caveman football.
Stoke fans probably don't give a monkeys as long as they're playing Liverpool, United and Arsenal next year rather than Barnsley.
