Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart admits he's no fan of Stoke City.

While the Dutchman is not about to walk out on Spurs he did admit he came close to WALKING OFF during the defeat at Stoke in December.

"During our game at Stoke I really thought I was going to walk off after 25 minutes. They did nothing but batter us, tackle and hit long balls.

"It is totally not my style, although they got a result with it."
