First-team players and management staff caught the same train as supporters from Euston to Stoke-on-Trent after being thrashed 5-1 at Tottenham

FURIOUS Potters fans greeted their players with a rendition of "you're not fit to wear the shirt" after they stepped off the train at Stoke station.
Mark Hughes' side arrived back in the Potteries on the back of a dismal 5-1 defeat at Tottenham.
It is the fourth time in succession that Stoke have lost to Spurs by four goals or more.
And frustration from fans boiled over in Stoke-on-Trent when they learned that the first-team were standing at the end of the platform.
Stoke players and staff were let off the train first, keeping other passengers behind before they eventually let the supporters out.
But it didn't prevent them from belting out the song before more chants of "Mark Hughes out" echoed around the station.
Stoke fans have lost patience with the management team following yet another thrashing.
It leaves the side just three points above the drop zone - but the lack of fight amongst the players against Mauricio Pochettino's side is what concerns them the most.
The away supporters were also vocal in the stands at Wembley calling for chairman Peter Coates to axe the ex-QPR gaffer.
Hughes admitted himself that the performance was unacceptable at full-time but Coates has so far backed the manager.
Stoke face Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday before entertaining West Ham next Saturday.
Two poor results may force Coates to make a drastic decision with the January transfer window approaching.
