@wizardsofdrivel It’s hard to forget the performance drop off for most of this year! It’s not fickle, if anything it’s complacent to keep supporting any manager when the result have been so shit. Delighted with results against Norwich and Charlton… but we’re going to need a lot more
@UTPJoe I have no issues with the player. I have issues with how we’re gonna feed him! We e had a lot of good strikers who haven’t worked at Stoke because we just don’t provide consistent chances for them to convert! And it’s been that way for years 🔴⚪️
It’s the anniversary of the legendary Luca Vialli ice skating in Tromso, 1997.
Feast your eyes on that marvellous playing surface. Like a fucking snooker table.
That’s a certain “Big 6” penalty in the Premier League.
It’s a possible penalty for 12 other Premier League sides.
For Everton and Wolves, it wouldn’t be considered for a penalty, and possibly a yellow card for diving.
In 1998, Australian man Bill Morgan suffered a massive heart attack that left him clinically dead for 14 minutes. He ended up surviving but fell into a 14-day coma.
He ended up recovering, and just one year later, bought himself a scratch-off lottery ticket and managed to win himself a Toyota Corolla worth $30,000.
When news of his sharp reversal of fortunes got out, a Melbourne TV station contacted Bill to share his story.
While filming the segment, the TV crew asked him to reenact his win with a new scratch card, which he dutiful did - only to be struck with another piece of good luck.
Bill turns to the cameras and says: “I just won $250,000 - I'm not joking. I think I'll have another heart attack.”
@StanCollymore This is exactly why Stoke eventually got relegated. They did the basics right under pulis but traded too much of that in the persuit of flair under subsequent managers.
