    Got a copy of this delightful book for Christmas. Some very informative and quirky facts about all aspects of the club and it's history.

    One thing that stood out to me though, exactly 100 years ago (1912/13), we had a season in which we only managed three victories (only 1 home win and 2 away) and finished on 18 points. We were relegated to Div 2. We scored only 26 goals and conceded 74, and finished last on the log. Sunderland were the champions.
    So remember, things could be worse for us, 100 years on... <ok>

    Cym invented the idea of football when he saw two sheep kicking a small rabbit around.

    Then he went on to invent how Stoke play.
