Orate liam.

Judging by recent form mate and us being at home i reckon both sides would settle for a draw on saturday.

If you are going on train and can shake off the owd bill when you arrive in "clayhead" land, then ask someone to direct you to the terrace pub on leek road which is about half a mile from the station. If you're lucky i might let you buy me a pint ;-)

Yep.

We tried shaking off the plods last season the cup but they clocked us straight away, we were gonna go and have a few drinks on our own, without getting herded around like sheep but threatened to arrest us and take us back to Manchester.

Out of order if you ask me...we ain't there for any trouble.

I know it's a fucking nightmare and provokes trouble if you ask me.
If the coppers left you alone and just kept a watchful eye from a distance then there would be alot less pissed off fans.

You will probably be herded into the hotel bar opposite the station or down to the students union. They will keep you away from stoke town centre at all cost.

Well, have a good day mate......but not too good come 5 o clock i hope.

booking for me.

Good job you're not the ref then!

Expect plenty of appearances from the towel during Saturday's game.

In all seriousness I don't see the big deal with it, there's plenty more stuff that needs addressing in football before the authorities look at Rory using a towel.

However, there is of course a simple way to render the towel useless - don't kick the ball into touch!

Someone told me that the student union is no longer there?

I had one copper tell me last year that City fans 'are a vile bunch'...fucking idiot.

Do the plods do this with all away fans then?

They will always keep an eye on away fans and make their presence known but for teams with big away followings who come on train in numbers they will generally try nd keep them together, dictating where they go. Shit really.

As far as i'm aware mate the union is still going but not been there for a while so it's news to me if it's shut.

PMSL, genuinely made me laugh.

You Stokies are alright.


Will you shut up with your positive vibes? You're clearly mad if you don't hate us and everything we stand for.

We're the anti-Christ and the scourge of the Premier League, we're also the reason why the national team is so crap if you weren't aware?

Giving us fans or our club any praise whatsoever is actually an offence punishable by a points deduction and Sepp Blatter is now looking at other options for the 2018 World Cup just because Stoke are in the Premier League!

Well that's what Adrian Durham thinks anyway!
 
Back on track, is it really time wasting? For us, it's better than a free-kick in a dangerous position. The Androgynous Wonder at Real Madrid will spend a good minute or so lining up a free-kick only to smack it over the bar a good 9 times out of 10. Most teams spend a good 30 seconds at least taking a free-kick.

Why on Earth shouldn't we be able to treat an important set piece like any other? It's hardly as bad as the far more dangerous practise of moving the advertising boards right up to the edge of the pitch. West Ham tried that last year, mind, and Delap just gave them a good kicking while the referee was fiddling with some altercation in the box. Served them right, seeing as they obstructed the view of the pitch.

The best way to stop them is, as ever:

1) Don't give them away
2) Don't play Kolo Toure.

i fully expect a multi-towel system to be in place

and with our billions, a starwars style force-field to stop balls crossing the line

hang on

that could be detrimental to us..

i'll get back to you.
