No, it's on average, nothing to do with any subjective assessment of the quality of a defence

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.

Without being based on anything, I suspected Middlesbrough were going to fall away at some point and the play offs were always going to be the best they could achieve anyway.
Think Ipswich could likely steady the ship and push towards the autos though.

Which is somewhat of an anomaly. In any case, Stoke are over performing pretty average underlying numbers which is only sustainable for so long and here’s hoping that comes to an end tomorrow.

In terms of xA, Birmingham have the best defence in the league and we put 3 past them in a comfortable win.

The first goal is crucial in this game, whoever gets it will be the more likely winner imo, my prediction is 1-1. Robins’ team are generally v good at holding leads but on the flip side, struggle get points from losing positions. Stoke have only 4 points from losing positions this season from 5 games so there’s a good chance we win if we score first.

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.

Over the season I think we’ll finish above them. So not to worried long term. Just feel, we’re not as polished as we were before the last international break.

seemed to have a degree of luck against Watford and Blackburn and it caught up with us against Wrexham.

on the bright side even with that sort of wobble, we still score for fun

Funny but simply not true.

I lived and worked in The Potteries for nearly 20 years until 2023 and it was my experience that Stokies are just ordinary people with the same hopes aspirations faults and stupidity as any other folk up and down the country.

This ridiculous endless comparison that the 'City' of Stoke on Trent made up of six towns (seven, if you listen to some) is the biggest shithole on the planet worse than dear old Cov could ever be is absolute nonsense, like most towns and cities it's no worse no better, believe me I live near Leicester now and boy this place takes the biscuit.i

EDIT, I absolutely refute the notion that the natives are unfriendly and glare at you if you so much as look at them
That's utter utter bollocks.

A lot of sites predicting Stoke to win tomorrow.

Won’t be the end of the world if we don’t win. We still will be top of the table. Take a draw and love a win.
