My t-shirt was like a 15yr olds crop top when it came out of the hot spin. One of life's truly memorable experiences. Thank you TP.

Amazing to think this all happened when we had a manager who had no clue about anything .

This is/was the most upsetting thing - given I did make it back for The Cup Final - about being out here and not at home. She-Who-Must-Be-Listened-To had "agreed" that if* we made the Euro semi-final I was going home (again) I really did think Their Tone might do it for me (again), but sadly we didn't make it; so the trips you all went on will always be the thing I most missed about being a proper Stokie. Top writing WD; keep up the good work (Is there a reason it got done now? Not sooner, I mean? ... I read it a little bit worried it might get sad at the end, but it didn't seem to ... Just nosey, no worries ) * I know - No chance was there? But then I had been telling her we were winning the 2011 FA Cup, from the 4th round onwards. And you will never meet someone who'd eaten so much STFU by the time I finally left for that big day. So even though it sounds like it was a ridiculous thing I'd never do ... She was quite worried when I was sat trying to work out the Chinese translation for the Orient Express as that sounded more fun than flying back again

I just thought I'd put it down in words whilst it's still relatively fresh in the mind. Plus there's bugger all to write about during pre-season!

Did Istanbul but working for the other Europa away games - we (8) all had a great time & I thought the Stokies did a top job, except the fella who was completely off his head, couldn't walk & never made it past the queue to get into the ground.
Conna wait for the chance to get back into another Europe trip - Paris St Germain please?

Makes me a laugh all this Valencia wasnt the best. All this 'close knit' bollocks with the few that went turkey. No close knit about it 99% of the following were shirters in a police escort. I went Valencia proudly sporting my stoke city shirt. sorry if this doesn't fit in with your views of a proper fan?

I just thought I'd put it down in words whilst it's still relatively fresh in the mind. Plus there's bugger all to write about during pre-season! I forget to get stuff I have written on shopping lists I am reading. I figure even if I did write everything down, at some point I'll end up swearing it wasn't about me, and then eventually that I didn't write it anyway - May as well just forget it in the first place. In fact, I'm packing in doing stuff altogether to save the bother And I feel your pain, matey - Either Hughes or Scholes (or that other bloke - Carthorse?) will have to go. In a WC year, having next to nothing to discuss from mid July on is just rubbish. Either we want massive behind the scenes failure, or we want a load of friendlies that we win against a bunch of no marks. I put on the Song for Boyan Bojan thread that I'd be off to support Mansfield if it carried on. There's just no entertainment any more, WD. Even on that song thread, there's hardly any support for the "diner diner diner diner diner ..." one. We've gone to the dogs, the bloke who wrote The Bread Song must kneading spinning in his grave. ... Been plenty to read on 'ere though, to be fair

Lol yeah Seriously Istanbul was what European football is all about for me mate The far corner of Europe in a very hostile atmosphere and a close knit following The city itself was superb also Oh Yeah... Are you the chap who took a bit of a pasting off the coppers then lied to them about where you were staying?

Well, I did wear my shirt, don't recall any police escort though, maybe you were just in with a bad crowd who attracted the police attention, you know, the sort of knobheads who refers to people as shirters.

As i type this i am sitting in the square in front of the Cathedral in Valencia. Its pretty quiet to be honest. A Saturday night here in August is nothing like a Saturday night in the UK. i am expecting it to liven up after 9pm when most of the bars and restaurants get going but it is no Madrid/Barcelona by the looks of things. Nice city though..very relaxed.
