Xg is a guide' It takes anaverage chance of scoring agianst an average GK and defence. We have statistically the best defence and Johansen is the best goalie in the league.

I think this game could go either way. We have the best defensive record in the league.You have the best attack. We certainly don't just sit back,although we do break very quickly from defence. The teams we struggle against are usually the ones who sit back(at home) or those who are very physical(away). As far as being lucky being is concerned, we're lucky to have Johansen. He makes saves that other GK's just can't. If I were betting, I would say go for above a number of goals scored. Here's hoping it's a good game and may the best team win!

Yes but you also statistically have the ugliest fans and smelliest stadium, so that evens it out. Not that I’m being childish or anything…

Let’s not turn it into a competition anyway, a nice friendly 5-5 draw please and we will both be happy!

It’s as if the keeper playing well negates any points earned it’s so mad

surely you'd have to be standing (not sitting) to eat an elephant sized one?

Gurney gets on my nerves. Lampard has answered a question as good as he can about Rudoni’s progress but Gurney keeps prying.

He’s not gonna go deeply into details, Rob, move on.

Would the style of questions depend on the direction of questions be dependent on the vision of the director tucked away in BBC confines somewhere.What I'm suggesting is simply that Rob was extremely popular in his first time covering the club, not so much now, not sure why that is, I think it's just a symptom of society now, but I feel it will be someone at that level for the focus, I could be wrong however, Clive never got stick or did he,we have been here before Geoff (Butler) I want to say but can't remember?

Not really considered the logistics, but I imagine if you started eating it from a seated position, you run the risk of being crushed under the weight of a collapsed oat cake. Seems like ladder or scaffold tower would be the best access options.

I knew it all along but as always it comes to your attention more when you are about to play a team, Stoke fans are absolutely pig thick. Our online fans are dickheads i know, but i'm just talking really really stupid specimens. I had to Google it to see if it was a thing and this is the title and first paragraph of a piece i found...

Stoke On Trent – A place devoid of intelligence​

I lived in Stoke-On-Trent for three years, and worked there for over 10, and there’s one irrefutable truth about the place that has remained unchanged for all that time – the place is a complete sh*thole, and the people really are as thick as pig sh*t.

It's only a short piece so i will actually just paste the rest below...


It’s not that their accents make them sound braindead – they actually are. The only time you will find a working brain cell in the whole of Stoke-On-Trent is if somebody from outside drives through or visits. They have no idea how to drive, how to speak in a civil tone and their dialect is at once irritating and incomprehensible. They use phrases like ‘geen downtown’ to mean they’re going into the city centre, and when they’re not stuffing their faces with oatcakes and Wrights pies, they’re mutilating the English language further with words like ‘enneeettttttt?’ instead of ‘isn’t it?’.

It’s like somebody kidnapped every single village idiot in the world, gave them a sh*te accent and dropped them in Stoke. I’m amazed a single member of the population remembers where they live every day.


As for the city, well, it’s every man for himself on the roads. Nobody drives with any care and attention (see lack of intelligence above) and the city centre is a ********. Most of the smaller businesses have closed down now and it’s corporate central. Mind you, the big Tesco on Clough Street attracts your typical incomprehensible Stoke scallies with names like Mark (pronounced Mork – yes, really!) and Mortin.

Travel through here, but don’t stop. Don’t trip over the knuckle grooves that have been eroded into the city’s pavements since time immemorial – the residents still walk around dragging their knuckles and glaring at people who smile at them.

A sh*t hole.

It’s not that bad of a place if you can steer clear of the warring cannibalistic tribes.

Just got off a call with my work Middlesbrough mate. Never heard him so depressed about football. I think we might be ok against them unless they get a great new manager in with a bounce. He also said the feeling was Edward’s was getting found out but I guess all fans think that if they stop winning.
