This amazes me to be honest , cause in my opinion stoke have established themselves as a premiership side now finishing high up the table higher than some people expected them to be , they have also established themselves as a hard team to beat at there own ground , even the big teams know its gonna be a fight to the finish , yes Chelsea destroyed them 7 - 0 but Chelsea were a different animal that game and stoke played very poor at times , the fact they have finished where they have and still have a game in hand and could get even higher than 13 , I think its shows how determined these lads are , how they react to losing like that other teams furthur down the table would just take it on the chin , Stoke can only get better and better with the funding for there high table finish id expect a couple of quality signings in the summer , well done pulis for getting the best out of these guys , maybe the stoke lads should give themselves a bit more credit .
