    Not a happy hunting ground for us. Horrible dirty club still got the pulis mantra in them. Will our lads stand up to the physical battle??
    I’d take a point right now as I think Terry would.
    Same formation different personnel unfortunately.

    Famous people include Frank Bough, and Edward Smith, Captain of the Titanic, and Reginald Mitchell, the chief designer of the Spitfire. William Clowes and Hugh Bourne, the founders of Primitive Methodism and also Josiah Wedgewood, although it's not clear when Clowes and Bourne founded him.

    Local delicacy is the oatcake, which imaginatively is a cake made of erm, oats.

    The club were originally formed under the name Stoke Ramblers in 1863, but 15 years later they merged with Stoke Victoria Cricket Club and became Stoke Football Club. In 1925, when Stoke-on-Trent was granted "city status" their name changed again, this time to Stoke City Football Club.

    Stoke is a suburb of Port Vale.

    Stoke is the oldest club in the Premier League, and is considered to be the second oldest professional football club in the world - after Notts County.

    Sir Stanley Matthews holds the record for the oldest ever player to feature in England's top division. His appearance for Stoke City against Fulham in February 1965 came shortly after his 50th birthday, which in some ways means he was older than the world's second oldest football club.

    In 1891 the Football League decided that only one club could use one style of strip and Sunderland were allowed to take red and white stripes. Between 1891 and 1908 Stoke used a variety of kits, with plain maroon being most common.

    During the close season of 1967 Stoke City played in the one-off United Soccer Association, which imported clubs from Europe and South America. Stoke played as the Cleveland Stokers and finished as runners-up in the Eastern Division.

    Father Elijah Smith took off his cassock to play for the Potters in the 1880s.The half-back, who was in charge of a church in Stoke, starred in the club's first ever league win, over Notts County

    Stoke are responsible for the penalty kickThe Potters were knocked out of the FA Cup by Notts County in 1891.They were piling on the pressure in search of an equaliser when Notts defender Jack Hendry punched away a goal-bound shot.Stoke were given a free-kick but the opponents stacked 11 men on their own line and blocked any shot.Referee John Lewis thought this wasn't fair so campaigned to introduce the penalty kick when he became a football legislator.

    And responsible for injury time.
    In 1891 the penalty was a new rule when, on October 24 of that year, Stoke had fought back from 3-0 down to trail Aston Villa by a single goal at the Victoria Ground.The Potters were awarded a last-minute spot-kick and chance to level when a Villa player picked up the ball and booted it out of the ground.The referee blew for full-time before it was returned.The rules were soon changed to allow time to be added, but initially only if penalties were to be taken.

    Striker Archie Maxwell broke Stoke's transfer record when he joined from Darwen in 1896 for a set of wrought iron gates.

    Manager in 1896, Bill Rowley sold himself to Leicester.

    In 1905, goal keeper Jack Hobbs left Stoke after an argument over bonus payments. He returned as a ringer playing for Port Vale, and infuriated the crowd by wearing a Stoke shirt under his top. The Police had to remove him from the fans who were carrying him to the river.

    Star 1920s and 30s midfielder Harry Sellars once woke up in a Middlesbrough hotel and switched on the light in time to see a rat dart across the room with his dentures in its mouth.What's more, Stoke returned to the same hotel two years later and Sellars was presented with the nashers.They had been discovered by workmen who were refurbishing the room

    Gone For A very optimistic draw .. not sure why .. but I have a strange feeling about this one, I'm hoping for a reaction from the players and manager alike .. so having been optimistic, expects us to get hammered !

    Never been a fan since they robbed us in the FA Cup 6th round in 1971. Then again when they kicked us off the field in the Watney Cup Final a couple of years later.
    We've had a couple of spectacular wins there. One in Carters day, FA Cup Rd 5 1947, they were a First Division team and we in the Third. 2-0 to The Tigers, nearly 47,000 there. Then the Barmby game when we all put put an end to their aspirations of getting in the Play Off' and that 3-0 smash and grab with the Jon Parkin goal. So I sense that this could be vintage City away.
    No-one gives us a chance, One goal in the last seven games, haven't won since the opening day.......it's all set up for a classic City away win with Tyler Smith making a name for himself. Looking forward to it UTT !

    Can remember this clearly for the following reason.
    Pre match pundit on the radio from Stoke was stating how Stoke where in constant disarray on and off the pitch. City where 4 to 1 to win. Lumped on for a good return. Same day Rangers lost at Home to Hibs 3-0 and cost me a ten fold of over a grand. You live and learn.

    You have to be lucky to beat a bookie. Years ago I worked with a Rangers fan. He had a 12 game accumulator. He had 11 right but Rangers then lost at home for the first time in something like over 40 games or so against Hearts.

    Poor bloke left work a few weeks later after a night shift and collapsed and died whilst playing with his 5 year old daughter. He was only 40. Still remember as they were lowering the coffin into the grave his daughter crying "I want my daddy!" as we all desperately tried to avoid each other seeing the tears in our eyes.

    I remember my dad taking me to that FA Cup gane against them in 1971, one of my earliest memories, I think it was Terry Conroy who my dad said was kicking lumps out of us that day and recall dad speaking about the wonder save by Banks, although he said that he'd clawed the ball back from behind the line .. Dad was a bit biased though lol

    Greenhoff?(back in the day I seem to recall him scoring against us a few times).I might be wrong but he was well known back then.

    I'm hoping for a big performance tomorrow.Stoke are up there already but strange things happen in Football.

    UTT...And a safe day out to those travelling.

    Think it was Dennis Smith doing the kicking lumps stuff. Ian Butler seemed to favour cutting inside instead of going on the outside of his marker after Smith repeatedly chopped him down in that game.

    Definitely a 100% win, Harry is a Quidditch player, knows nothing about football.
    So Harry & the rest will cheat, by flying on broomsticks, all dressed the same after drinking that poly juice stuff, then they’ll go on to record a big win.
    Unfortunately it’ll be another game where we are called by our full name of Hull City Nil.

    Shoddy and idle cut and paste job in the OP, yet again, Stoke are not a Premier League team. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Hmmn, not so sure about that ... we've been working hard on our Kabaddi all week, and they've been following orders by "growing up" all week too.

    Edit: just seen this .... "Captain Richie Smallwood says the team will be looking to be more aggressive in both boxes as Hull City prepare to face Stoke City." :emoticon-0101-sadsm
