    terry needs to get the boys back on track tomorrow. Kamikaze needs to stick that early chance away, he seems to get one every week at home and fluffs it.
    got to beat this lot, another club I can’t stand. Better to lose to barnsleh than this lot so let’s do em
    3-0


    Hull are expected to be without striker Josh Magennis for the next three games, including Saturday's visit of Stoke, because of a hamstring problem.

    Striker Tom Eaves could start with Norbert Balogh, Jon Toral and Kevin Stewart also injured, but midfielder Leonardo Da Silva Lopes is fit again.

    Stoke boss Michael O'Neill has no new injury concerns as they look to bounce back from consecutive defeats.

    Nathan Collins and Peter Etebo remain out, along with captain Ryan Shawcross.

    Match facts
    • Hull are looking to win consecutive league matches against Stoke for the first time since August 1992.
    • Stoke lost their last away league match against Hull but haven't lost consecutive away games there since March 1960.
    • Hull have kept three clean sheets in their last five home league games (W3 L2), after a run of 10 games without one at the KCOM Stadium.
    • Only Southend (15) have lost more league games than Stoke (13) in the top four tiers of English football so far this season.
    • Hull City's Jarrod Bowen has had the most goal ending ball carries in the Championship this season (five goals).
    • Stoke City have scored 55% of their Championship goals via set pieces this season, the second-highest percentage behind Millwall (57%).

    Stoke’s not even a real City, just a load of small towns welded together with ****. The six fingered, pot bonking clay heads with be swept aside. City (there’s only one) 3 nowt.

    After that cup game in March 71, they were the first club I ever hated.

    Dirty ****s Pejic and Dennis Smith, unnaturally pale Terry Conroy backed by a few thousand low aspiration Midlanders somehow fluked a win here.

    Even hated their ****ty meaningless old fashioned club crest.

    Dreadful club bankrolled by one very wealthy man whose family has finally realised Stoke are ****ing ****.

    GO HULL!

    Stoke were planning a summer tour of Poland in 1939.

    Stoke are responsible for the penalty kick after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Notts County in 1891 due to County stacking 11 men on their own line and blocking any shot. Referee John Lewis thought this wasn't fair so campaigned to introduce the penalty kick when he became a football legislator.

    ... and also for injury time after 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.

    In 1898 the manager Bill Rowley sold HIMSELF to Leicester, organising his own signing-on fee.

    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. Stoke returned to the same hotel two years later and Sellars was presented with the nashers.

    The name "Stoke" derives from the Old English stoc, a word that means "place".

    The Michelin tyre company built their first UK plant in the city.

    Primitive Methodism was founded there. It was from the Primitive Methodists that many early trade unions found their early leaders.

    The locals call each other 'mi duck', which stems from the Saxon word ducas. This became duc or duk, which became the title Duke.

    Stoke 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.

    Pejic also tried to cripple Waggy in the Watney Cup final when after he'd scored, horribly late tackle that took both Waggys legs from under him.
