Petit and Curbishley were far more complimentary on Bein. Arry has a bee in his bonnet. Presumably he doesn't have any idea who RLC is, let alone Nat Chalobah.

It's fine for these youngsters to win trophies in their own age group but, when they're asked to step up against  players of all ages and national;ities within the squad, only the exceptional survive.

A special mention should be made of Alonso's performance, who looked like he would have a tough afternoon against Arnautivic's pace and trickery but, as he's done many times before, worked his opponent out.

They really were butchers, filthy tactics, had we done that to teams we would never hear the end of it. 

Great win though, slap it up them

That was a typical Hughes tactic against us... He did at Blackburn QPR and at Stoke last season and this season... Beardsley' tackle should have been a straight red imo.

Stoke are a bunch of dirty c**ts, going in with wild challenges as per usual. I was estatic when Gary scored the winner, as apart from the penalty decision he was very good the entire game. Hope at some point they go down, and taste some of their own medicine in the Championship.
