No irony, there's plenty of evidence (even if its only empirical) that many teams are affected by an negative atmosphere, and rush their games, or miss their passes. Stoke supporters have seen with their own eyes what effect their input has on a lot of opposing teams
If Chelsea manage to play their own game without being affected, good for them it shows more strength of character than most teams who visit Stoke.
But as for the Stoke supporters, why change a winning (or at least not losing) formula?
