Been to Stoke many times but but yesterday was the first time I’ve been too Stoke city centre for a pre match drink, I’ve seen some run down, neglected city and town centres but f**king hell what a mess
These are good highlights - especially of our goal and the travelling fans (fast forward to 2mins 30)
There's no hope for the place is there. Google Stoke and the top attraction is a scabby monkey park with scruffy flea-bitten primates ... ... they're the ones visiting the monkeys
Sadly you can multiply sh1t town centres around our once beautiful country many times. Last time I was at Stoke was the old ground and Carlton Palmer (ex Stoke) played for us.
Think a lot of the 'warm welcoming' people of Stoke have a massive chip on their shoulders. They live in a ****e area with low paid jobs, but seem to want to hold anyone that isn't from Stoke responsible.
That bloke on the PA shouting Mighty Mighty Potters just gave up half way through as he realised they aren't Mighty. Cracking video from that young lad. Good for him.
Thanks for that RTB, real football supporter that lad , no chip on his young shoulders, not yet anyway. Stoke just like Sunderland has been sold down the river, even more so , but the lack of malice on that video gives us all hope. Mind this does not sound to promising , A tongue-in-cheek poll has ranked Stoke-on-Trent in the top 10 worst place to live in England - and the reasons given are brutal. Every year the results of the annual survey are revealed and this year it seems things have not changed too much, other than how savage people's comments were. 8 Jan 2020 OaU.
Had a little peek at their fanzine page this morning ( Yes 'I'm bored at work) they really are bitter and twisted about being beaten by "That Sunderland team" if the Sunderland actually turned up played like we did for 85 minutes against QPR or in the 2nd half like we did against Bristol City...we would have battered them. I've no axe to grind against Stoke, but seriously.....they are in for a long hard season, I would put money on them being relegated right now. On the other hand, we go to a ground and don't play well and come away with a win..... happy days
We were missing Ballard and Evans who've become important, through the middle, to the way we play ... ... we looked a little 'out of control' and ragged tbf. But the goal was the one touch of class from either side and that's what counts.
https://www.a-love-supreme.com/single-post/batth-post-potters Former Stoke City player Danny Batth spoke after today's gruelling win, he had high praise for his teammates, especially Anthony Patterson who has played well this season. VINDICATION “Yeah it was, we knew coming in here the team has come in on the wrong end of a few results and we’ve played miles better than that and not taken all three points. I think today was that but in reverse, we weren't great in the first half and the performance level was down. BUNCH OF FIGHTERS “I wouldn't say we were fortunate to go in level but we had to really pull together. I think that’s important for this group of players, it's the first experience of the Championship for a lot of the lads and you've got two away games in quick succession you're never going to be 100%. There's lads out there carrying injuries and there's lads out there on the bench that are 50/60% fit but they're coming on and giving everything for the cause and that's massive. I think that's how we managed to get over the line today.” ……
I wonder how classy Stoke will be when they come to the SOL ... ... they like to lump it forward don't they.
There's a Stokie comes here to his parents caravan, was slagging us off last season to me and I laughed him off. He's got his Stoke badge tattooed on his calf and was giving it large. I said "yerv got shìt runnin down yer leg there mate" and he looked He's up today apparently so I can't wait
