Stoke captain Shawcross: Everyone hates us. We don't care!

Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross couldn't care less what opposition teams think about them.

The Potters are at the wrong end of the fair play league and picked up another red card on Saturday when Jon Walters was sent off for raising his boot and clouting Norwich City's Alex Tettey.

But skipper Shawcross isn't bothered a bit.

He said : "If people don't like playing against us because we are dirty - which we are not - that's fine.

"Reputations might scare people sometimes so that is fine by us. People just don't like coming to the Britannia.

"We have picked up some brilliant scalps this year and you can see why. When sides come there they tend to struggle."
