Non of Telford or South Birmingham are Black Country, never have been, I think your combining two separate things, the REAL Black Country to folk that live there, is 5 miles any direction from Dudley Castle.
The name comes from the coal soot, given off by the mining of ground level coal seam. Nothing to brag about needing a wash Besides you can't use the words black country anymore, so it's been agreed you can share the local pride flags.
This is the prelude stage, filling in the time before the team is announced, and we are talking about where the fans are traveling to the game from,so there's the link.
Not usually bothered about the poor mans cup but this year but I would like us to go for everything in sight this year. I expect us to win but feel Stoke will try to redeem themselves after Saturday so not a foregone conclusion. What we don't want are any injuries.
Stoke have a massive squad, easily enough to make 2 first teams, so don't expect many youth players from them,would like to win this 1 as it's my best mates team and I gave him loads of **** on sat night. 2 would like to see some of the young one's get some more game time. But if we get injuries, it won't have been worth it.
I'm sure Mr Bielsa will have any eye on Saturdays game against Swansea which will no doubt influence his selection for tonight, I would think anyway. As I understand 30k are going very good for a midweek game don't you think.
Over and above what I would expect, although the £10 adult and £1 kids is one hell of a price, when did we become such a fan caring club ? Bates will be spinning in his jacuzzi at such megre prices, let's hope he drowns.
Not sure what Stoke will do. On the one hand the manager might want to protect his squad because of their league position, on the other he might not be many more defeats away from the sack.
