The curse of Stoke City!

[mightyWBA]

This Saturday will once again see West Brom fail to beat Stoke City in a league game :-(
Since we stuffed the Potters 6-0 in 1988 our record is thus....
D L D D L L L L L D L L L L L L D D W(!!) L L L D L L.

Now with all due respect to Stoke they are hardly Man U and we have always been around the same place as them in the leagues during this run.
They haven't won an away game this season so at 5/2 I'm putting all my Grand National money on them to win!
In the words of my fellow season ticket holding daughter "I don't want to go Saturday,we never beat Stoke City!"
Is there a bigger bogey than the lardymen??
(Beattie 1-0 from a long throw in)

[Mr-Marvel]

i am putting my money on a draw, but i have a feeling that the force will be with you on Saturday,

[Mr-Marvel]

By the way mighty, who are the lardymen?

[mightyWBA]

It's what we've always called the Stoke fans.
Think all those oatcakes have something to do with it!

[Mr-Marvel]

Brilliant, lol.

[sambro]

i just heard tonight,the bitters have not won at arsenal since 1975!!

[mightyWBA]

I know Steve! Had �100 at 5/2 they'd beat us.
1-0 down after 30 seconds we just looked at each other and laughed!
On the plus side we won't be playing them next season thank God!

[Panic Button]

When I heard the result, Mighty, I thought of you.

You had been predicting this all season

[Mr-Marvel]

Yes well won mighty, i had �20 on a 1-1 draw, us lardymen have had a good day out lol, i like your player Morrison, hope Stoke can sign him for next season, any chance do you think????.

[mightyWBA]

All our players have a price Marvel.
If our chairman smells a nice juicy profit he's yours!
The bogey continues panic!

I keep humming Delilah now though!

[Mr-Marvel]

I must say mighty, you are a good sport.

[Panic Button]

Being a Baggies fan is good training for being an England fan.

[mightyWBA]

"Semper te fallant" is the motto panic!

Cheers Mr Marvel,we've always been realists!

[Panic Button]

I had to Google to find what that meant, Mighty, and the article that came up ended with the following paragraph:

'If Black Country humour wasn't already long established, they'd have to invent it to buttress them through the peaks and troughs of following the Baggies. As Dolly Allen might have said: "What's the difference between an Albion fan and a Labrador? One's a soppy mutt who will follow you through thick and thin - and the other's a dog." '

[mightyWBA]

Perfectly summed up Panic!
:-)

[mightyWBA]

Thought I'd revive this thread......

We're playing Stoke City today......Add an L to that list.
Actually add another one after 5 o'clock tonight.

I'll be there,suffering :-(
Have a nice day.

[mightyWBA]

ToldYa 3-0 to Stoke :-(
