Was just perusing Facebook and came across a post from 'Sportbible' stating the winner of the Royal Rumble was Roman Reigns (whoever the hell that is). What does this have to do with Stoke you may ask? Well, after announcing the winner, they then say 'but can he do it in on a cold, wet, windy Tuesday night in Stoke'. I just find this amazing. It's not the first time I have seen something similar in respect of a different sport/entertainment programme. I don't know about anybody else, but being able to perform on a cold night in Stoke being associated with sporting perfection doesn't half make me feel proud. I know they'll be taking the piss, but still, I don't mind.  |

I suppose it's the type of folk who use it and then expect everyone else to think it's original comedic genius I agree with overall sentiment though. It's better to be talked about and all that. |

Oddly though, the idiom seems to have broken into less obvious football circles. I had a work colleague in Australia ask me what it meant when they saw a similar thing posted on their FB.
