Now you know why some Stokies are not fans of TP - same reason as you gave for Bruce; you saw that for yourself on Saturday!
Can you explain on the OP where exactly, i set myself up for a fall? I just stated facts, that are allways there to be broken. I said we were playing garbage football & you were on a roll under MON, did i predict we would win? You won, we lost, the game was ****, which in our current form is what i expected. Congrats on doing the double. All the best for the rest of the season
Certainly..............you said:- "Since Stoke have returned to the top flight, i believe you ( the mackems )have yet to win at our great stadium, & another stat is i also don't think that your new manager has also won here. So that all points to a very easy Stoke win, but will it?" And if that ain't setting yourself up for a fall then I don't what is - although I do appreciate you did go on to say "will it", but the damage was done by then....................... I hope the team does well, how often do we see Europe impacting upon league form - bit of a poisoned chalice - one we wouldn't mind having a taste from though!
But you forgot the ? After, but will it So to me thats says, i was very wary about this game & as such did not give a prediction.
So why start with such a bold statement of fact and set yourself up for the fall? I did mention the "will it" "And if that ain't setting yourself up for a fall then I don't what is - although I do appreciate you did go on to say "will it", but the damage was done by then......................." However it a closed subject on your board, till next year....................................................
