Hughes to joke city

[coleridge]

Take some valium. I wasn't referring to you unless you're from Stoke?

Hahaha. It was difficult to tell.

Many a happy day at Stoke County Court. I used to have oatcakes for lunch over the road at the Potteries Museum. Sadly, that's my only recommendation.

I just miss having bottles thrown at me......lovely town....lovely fans.

It's a mini Leeds for me

Slagging Manchester and Salford off on a Man City forum isn't winning you many friends I wager.

Stoke is a shithole......can't argue that really

When did i actually slag salford off? Might want to check your facts before hand.

You didn't read/comprehend that previous post properly at all. Instead you just took what you wanted from it, and took it totally out of context.

If you visit a big football ground without a contingent of problem fans, be sure to let me know. Also as a rule of thumb you should never judge an area by its football fans, chelsea is a good enough example alone...

Could be Stokies too to be fair.

Was it the liverpool kits that gave us away?

I hear the Harvester opposite the Britannia is very good.

So based on this thread, Stoke is a shithole but their team looks alright. Though the players live in Cheshire. If only all threads could be so clear and accurate.

Anyway, I'm off to talk about beer in the Kevin De Bruyne thread.

No the inbred look.

You also posted a photo of Salford flats near the precinct making out its a shithole I assume.

I've not had problems at plenty of grounds funnily enough.

Now Stoke is a different issue.......nobs. Although at Wembley they seemed ok. Snowball fights with them is a laugh too.

You don't even live in Stoke now do you? Spelling in American and calling the premier league the EPL. You're in the USA I guess. Why do you support MCFC in any case? Why not Stoke?

Compare bentilee with places like toxteth...

What is ignorant about what you are saying is that something that is bog standard in any really bad city,(a drug dealer oh my!)which wouldn't even make the news in such places or they would be reporting 24/7, is big enough of a deal to make the news in stoke. That tells you something. The lad had a class b drug in his possession, some scales, and £290 in cash on him!!! holy jesus thats the bust of the year!

Toxteth in liverpool, handsworth in birmingham, hackney in london, even moss side in your very own manchester make our rough places seem utterly insignificant. Lets see a one off drug dealer getting arrested(with £290 cash no less) making a headlines in any of those places regional news.

Poverty absolutely has everything to do with social issues, if you don't agree with this then you have never been the wrong side of the tracks imo...personally i think america have it right in that regard.

Every place that is classed as a city "has significant social issues that are manifest", nowhere is invulnerable to this in the UK. But stoke i'd say is way off most of the bigger cities, whilst there are many lovely places in and around it. The surrounding area is absolutely lush.

This surrounding area not actually being Stoke, i take it ;-)

 

[mancityvstoke]

He mentions Hackney, Moss Side.....etc...some of these places have changed beyond recognition.

That's that sorted then.
