Stoke Away Pre Match

Recommended Posts

Posted

I don't particularly mind Stoke, people go on about them relegating us but to be honest it could have been any team that day. This bloke talks some sense on their forum.

Bizarre. I don't feel arrogant or superior towards Leicester. I remember MON's side beating us in the playoffs (that was a miserable drive home, sharing the A50 with all the Leicester fans) and them being in the Prem while we were still trying to get promoted for several years. In fact, they had several spells in the top flight during our wilderness years, if I remember rightly. They are a similar sized club to Stoke, with a similar pedigree. It just happens to be our turn to dine at the headmaster's table.

Yeah that was the only sensible post in the whole thread

I don't think the hostility is due to them 'relegating' us. They didn't. A point there was actually a decent result.

 

I think it's more the way that a number of their fans acted at, and prior to, the final whistle. 

 

As for this 'we're bigger than you' nonsense... We're two similar sized clubs, we probably have a bigger fanbase, we probably have a better history, but that's countered by the fact that they're currently an established Premier League club. It really doesn't matter.

hahaha the irony of them calling us shitstain city? Absolute disease of the premiership, horrible club.

 

They didn't relegate us so I don't dislike them for that. What I do dislike them for is the way there fans acted at the final whistle. Anyone would think they cared more about us being relegated than them being promoted. Really hope we do 'em tomorrow,

First League Cup game this season - Wycombe (first meeting since that infamous game)

First FA Cup game this season - Stoke (first meeting since that infamous game)

Won away at Watford. Double over Millwall. Won in London - ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, won at Ipswich, beat Reading at home. 

 

Are these all signs???

I hope these people that don't care about tomorrow are staying away from the game. See you all at Derby.

I can't wait for the game. FA Cup 3rd Round is the most exciting day is the football calendar.

I see it as kinda win/win.

We win and I'll be happy, we've beaten a Prem team (and I don't like Stoke) and we're into the next round of the FA Cup.

We lose and we've done what was expected, lose to a Prem team. We stay top of the league, possibly a bit fresher come April/May and hopefully no injuries.

And if we draw?

Haha, I was wondering how long it would be before I popped up again. 6 posts.

I do like the fact that we seem to be responsible for one of their lowest points in recent (well, past 20 years history) history while they're responsible for ours lol

Don't usually give a crap about cup games, but a few wins could be the difference between us signing someone or not with FFP.

When I think of stoke I can only picture the zombie like creatures that pop up on transfer deadline day outside their ground.

Good point, 

A win here, and another big side down the KP and a sell out could be worth the transfer fee of a player coming in, and if FFP is close the difference between hitting it and not.

Today i want us loud and proud and show the premier league what were made of. Its teams like this we need to prove ourself against, to show we are capable of beating premiership sides and where we are as a club. I would love it if we could be so noisy today like we were at Norwich!!! What a great day that was!!

Come on you blues!!!!!

Like has been said, us going down was our own fault. Doesn't stop that day hurting, watching them celebrate(which we would do if it was the other way around) whilst we were at our lowest ebb was the worst thing I have experienced at football match.

A win would help get over it to some extent, though I'd rather beat derby on Friday.

At least Steve Howard and Harry Worley won't be playing centre mid in this one.

And if we draw?

Then we all go home and think about what we've done before resting anyone who wants a rest in the replay.
