And just for the record, not only did we take the free-kick too quickly, it was a dive that won us the free-kick in the first place - it was in line with where I was sitting. He was a bit cheeky like that was our Bjarni. Hope that helps. Tempted to ban you just for your cheek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a different path the clubs have taken since. It'll be an interesting tie, in that respect. Yes, it's amazing how both clubs have fared so differently after that season and ones in the early 2000s when we were both in League 1. Credit to them for becoming an established Premier League team, although I bloody hated them after they beat us at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 An abiding memory of Stoke was up there, Gavin Ward receiving a load of shit from us and straying further from his line than he might have done before being lobbed by Tinnion for 1-1. I personally think it's a pretty good draw, they have some good players and I hope we give them a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was booted out and became a media darling while the team he left behind have never managed to shake off the big boot, thugs label. Just popped over to this board after following the link on the Oatcake. Liking the humour already. Welcome DK. Thoughts on Pulis? He's hated on here. Seen as a money grabbing asshole to put it mildly. How do the Stokies remember him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He achieved so much for us, but in the most joyless way possible. Football's not supposed to be like that, but then he got us to the promised land, kept us there, got us to the FA Cup Final for the first time in our miserable existence and into Europe for the first time in almost 40 years. They should build a statue for him at Stoke but I hated what I was watching. There's not much middle ground with him is there? He's real Marmite. Some Stokie's worship him. Other's detest what he stood for. I was close to jacking it in having to watch us play like that every week, and I've been a Stoke supporter for 43 years. Mark Hughes isn't a particularly popular character in football generally but I've loved his time at Stoke. Breath of fresh air to watch proper football after the dirge of watching Pulisball for 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'd have prefered a match against a Big, Swansea or Everton...but I'm ok with the draw: a match that will bring back memories & feelings of the 2007/8 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's legendarily known as the binary season. At the end of it many Stokies swore they wouldn't return until Pulis had gone. The football (if you can call it that) was mind-numbing.

Winnable and easy to get to. - For sure Wolves will play a weaker side with the league being their top priority this season and that is what will give us a chance. Should be taking a decent following too. - Well they seen to think they have already won and we will take loads because it is like our cup final, have to say I don't feel the same. Yes we will take loads but not because it's Wolves but because that's what we do. It's definitely winnable though. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownendStokie Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 It never takes long to get onto a bit of Pulis bashing! I didn't mind what he did for us for the first few years in the prem. when we had Pennant & Etherington on the wings in 2010-11 we were a lot better to watch than people gave us credit for but after that it declined into uuspeakably dull, monotonous garbage and I was delighted when he left us. Just wish we could get one over on one of his teams once in a while. Another 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back watching that game today...

I agree that in those early years Stoke were exciting to watch as they bombarded teams. Not pretty but there is more than one way to play and it suited the squad. His West Brom side is excruciatingly dull though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 @Dreamkiller Out of curiosity, what is the reason for your (Oatcake) apparent dislike for Eddie Howe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownendStokie Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Stoke fans generally seem to take a dislike to anyone perceived to be a media darling and who gets an easy ride as a result. Eddie Howe seems to be heralded in some quarters as the new fresh-faced messiah of English football yet when his team won 1-0 at our place last season what we saw was one of the most disgraceful displays of timewasting, gamesmanship and downright cheating many of us have ever seen at a football match. None of it ever gets reported in the media though. oh and Harry Arter is a dirty ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownendStokie Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Sean Dyche is another one. We beat them last season at our place and he said in the media afterwards that we were basically a bit better at gamesmanship than they were, yet the season before (when they beat us) his goalkeeper went down complaining of cramp & needed lengthy treatment!
