Just the team and their fans. Just hate everything about them, their tactics, Delap; the favourable treatment they get from referees and the media; the way they're allowed to have such a small pitch, just because it suits their throw-ins; the way they're allowed to waste so much time on set pieces, literally; the way they play defensive in pretty much every game, home or away, and somehow get results from it.

Seems fair.
Had to chuckle at Pulis ahead of the first leg against Los Che saying how he hates "to see players rolling round on the floor". Tell your blokes to stop kicking seven bells out of them then

Should have heard the Channel 5 commentator last night on United's game. Early on in the game Vertonghen and I think it was Hernandez had a coming together in the Ajax box, as they went down Vertonghen was hit in the face by the United player's boot as he was falling, Vertonghen just hit the ground and held his head, which was met by "I don't think it was worth the three or four rolls from Vertonghen", he never rolled once, but a nice early dig was in on those foreigners.
I don't think I've ever seen a weirder team and coach than Stoke and Tony Pulis. They kick the crap out of every team they play, argue every call and whinge about diving, yet the moment they are touched near the halfway line, they go down and pump the ball in the box. They are the epitome of mediocrity, yet the media love them, using them as some sort of measurement of quality. "Could they do it on a Wednesday night at the Britannia? I don't think they could." Aim this question at any decent side in Europe, but Man United and Man City.

difficult to disagree with your points but I suppose we could find faults with every team - strangely enough when I used to watch football regularly in england I always found the Stoke fans,along with Millwall the worst behaved and that's saying something with all the so called 'big' teams around - the fans were an obnoxious bunch and I always seemed to have problems with the travelling fans,not to mention the aggro which was guaranteed at the old Victoria ground - never had a problem with the team though,they used to have some decent players in the good old days of the 60s & 70s

Ha. It was on in the pub, but I was playing pool so not really listening. Conveniently ignoring the fact that Vertonghen is one of the hardest, nastiest b--tards playing the game at the moment as well.
