As I recall we should've fielded a much stronger line-up! But I'm not bitter...............Much!

TEEPEE did his best at the time "HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 20/20 VISON" |

He wanted an "army" of Stoke fans, which he got, then he shat on us good and proper with that line up. Massive kick in the cock.
Still, memories? Everyone eating sunflower seeds in the home end! Everyone!

TEEPEE did his best at the time "HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 20/20 VISON" It says a lot about the man. He didn't want to take risks. That's why he isn't at the club anymore. I I will be forever grateful to him for getting us to being on a solid footing in the prem, but in the end he lacked "VISION" |

Indeed great memories. In 47 years of being at Stoke games home and away this was one of the best. The team may have been weakened but they played well and were in no way a disgrace. Tony Pulis got us to Valencia and I for one am grateful for this.

Deserves a repost. My favourite flag (ahead of the Bollocks one) |

My main memory is getting up to watch and seeing the squad and feeling shafted. And I didn't even spend money on the flight or beer.

My main memory is getting up to watch and seeing the squad and feeling shafted. And I didn't even spend money on the flight or beer. I flew from South America for it. It stands out as by far the shittiest thing TP did to Stoke fans during his tenure. If you're extremely charitable you could call it a terrible misjudgement but it just seemed psychotically cruel and arrogant at the time. I'd be interested to know what he thinks about that decision now. *disclaimer: I had a fucking great time in Valencia, the team were brilliant and I still love TP.  |

And I didn't even spend money on the flight or beer. my main memory was a great time throughout, Perhaps I'm easily pleased after all it was such a long time since Ajax away. I was just grateful to have the opportunity of watching SCFC in Europe again. |

Nice flag... we were stood a few yards from it in that main square on the day of the game. Did you know about the lad whose flag it was and how he became utterly disillusioned about one of the people on the flag and then actively spoke out for that person to leave the club? Interesting story. |

I pissed on that flag!
Right on the back of TP's head.
That was my war cry.

How grateful was he when he saw the team sheet, Smudge and realisation began to dawn?  Still I imagine his faith in things has been restored now that the club and the team have improved so much. All hail Sparky and our magnificent men in suits! |

It's become apparent that these piss easy cup runs guarantee nothing in recent weeks hasn't it, Mark? I'm beginning to think their may have been some merit in our achievements back then, despite the club and team being so much more worse than they are now. I don't expect you to agree from your subterranean bunker, maybe your view is that we threw that game at Blackburn so we could continue to focus on improving so much?  |

One of the many memories was the moment the seat belt sign went off on the charter flight and virtually everyone on the flight stood up and made a dash to the loo. I don't know how it didn't destabalise the bloody plane !
