A serious response - what if instead of losing 5-0 at home to Swansea on the opening day of the 2012-13 season we had won (which looked likely until they scored, we were looking good). I genuinely believe that whole season would have felt very different, and we may have now been celebrating entering our sixth season in the PL, probably without Hughes, who would be at a bigger club (and a bigger one than Stoke). There was a lot of talent in that team, they needed belief, unity and pride which a decent start may have given them. Added bonus that no one would have been going on about bloody Barton.
