supportingcitysincelunchtime said:What a job he has done with Stoke. from a team battiling relegation to a mid-table team in the EPL. Paddy Powe paid out after there first EPL game (against Bolton) but somehow Tony kept them up(mainly down to Beattie's goal's from jan onwards) then he kept them up the next season signing Huth (very goof CB imho) and Tuncay (for some much needed flair) now this season they look safe and have 2 geuine winger's in Etherington and Pennent(both have had personal problem's ME-gambling, JP-in jail for drink driving) In Ryan Shawcross they have a potential England regular. They have moved on from there "stereo-typical throw in=goal) Tony Pulis would be in with a shout for MOTY (I would give it to Coyle, but baconface will proberly win it)
Now Oatcake fanzine will you be posting this ;) ?

Think it was Boxing Day and the whole season seemed to turn on Gareth Taylor heading a winner?

Okay chaps, a bit of a challenge for you then... name one other city in England that is uglier than Stoke.
I have travelled widely across England and, sure enough, they are stacked up with council estates full of Biffa Bacons and Kery Katonas.... so name one other city that is as bland, meaningless, uninspiring, ugly and frighteningly poor as Stoke with their ugly men and even uglier women..
Oh, and don't quote Middlesbrough... anyone claiming bragging rights over Middlesbrough can't be fucking serious!
But I do take the point that one of them made in that Stoke is famous for something... pottery. Fair do's, can't argue with that. That clearly knocks our "the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution" into place, then.
And even pottery was invented by the Chinese, Greeks and Romans thousands of years ago. Yet the one claim to fame they have is that some backwoodsman actually worked out how to fire a furnace... thousands of years later. Wow. Just wow.
The only use I think of for Stoke is that they will always be a fertile breeding ground for the BNP. It gives the rest of the country a superiority complex knowing that things can always be worse... they could live in Stoke!
I remember watching This is England on the telly (set in 1982) and I genuinely thought it was a Panorama documentary dealing with the social problems of Stoke. ... nowadays. Well they were wearing the same clothes as a typical Stokie, so an easy mistake to make.
The one good thing about meeting Stoke in the final is that they can all pretend to be Big Issue sellers in Leicester Square to help pay for the day out. It might stop them robbing each other for at least one weekend.

Good to see you are named after a Stokie from the film Soulboy filmed in Stoke last year! How apt!!
I haven't got 6 fingers nor toe on each hand or foot but I do have 2 dicks! Comes in quite handy when night clubbing in Manchester with the class of women you meet there! You get a blow job and a shag at the same time!
