Well then just seen new Stoke appointment. If we sort ourselves out and stay up which think we’ll do should play Stoke next season. What an underwhelming management change!
Be nice when posting summert like this - to give the rest of us a foooking clue what yer talking about???
Does anyone know when we last played Stoke in a league match ? I remember the 3 v 3 cup match away & the subsequent victory in the replay , oh to see Stevie Cooper in his hay day , & of course Mr Curry , happy days ! but that is a long time ago
2007/2008 I don't recall the away game. The home game was an absolute farce, ruined by that clown Trevor Kettle. 3-3 Liam Lawrence scored a hat-trick for them. Remember him (*shudders*).
They arseholed us from start to finish, as I recall. Couldn't get through us. We defended like Italy. Then Stan belted one in from miles out. It was one of the most satisfying away games I have ever been to. We were proper mesters. Dug in, repelled everything they threw at us. Bodies in the way. Just one of those games where we really toughed it out. Sorry. You ain't scoring. Not tonight. It would still be Stoke 0 if we were playing now. And to win it with a goal like that. Absolutely beautiful. I seem to think we then wrecked their play-off chances by rolling over and dying against someone-or-other on the last day of the season. They didn't like it, me duck. Not at all. Edit: we did indeed help to destroy their play-off hopes, by getting spanked at The Hawthorns. We competed for a bit until they scored, and then capsized with David Lucas in goal.
Yes , its all come back to me now , ref had a shocker & correct me if I am wrong but didn"t Lawrence get the equaliser right at the death at the Ponty end ? a real sickener
