Norwich basically did what TP does sometimes - settled early for 1-0, took both his wingers off, and paid the price. We were already coming into the game when the harsh pen/red card happened and we battered them thereafter. We fully deserved at least a point. If it wasn't for their keeper we'd have had a hatful - Ethers had two good chances, Walters missed the pen, Shotton had that cross shot etc... I agree Rob. If we had scored 10 mins earlier, I would have really fancied us to win it. That said, I'd have taken a point before the game, it wi;; be a couple of months beforethe wind goes out of their sails, so this is the hardest time to play them.

Farmer, Marsh, Pejic, Mahoney, Smith Dodd, Haselgrave, Greenhoff, Conroy, Hudson, Salmons Goaaaarn!! 6 local lads there Gibby + a few adopted sons What a Team VBB! I think it's like with anything that's really good, you don't actually realise how good until it's gone! I gotta say though, that this Team is not as far in it's development as the 74 Vintage, the Nucleus of that Team had been together for probably four years. This Team is probably two years down the line, all we need now is a Greenhoff & Hudson!!!

Having witnessed Stoke in the 70's I have often been asked whether TP is better than Waddo....my answer has always been "Not yet" Tonight having seen Stoke progress in Europe I think Tone has just about edged in front of the great man Waddo Some great comments about both men Must confess the thread was very tongue in cheek (a bit naughty ) cos for me no one will rival the Waddo/Huddy/Greenhoff etc era but I was interested in hearing other peoples views. Those who say you can't compare the two eras are correct...things are very different today. And Lakeland.....I was right in the line with the Ruud Krol free kick.....new exactly where that was heading Can you remember who was in goal for Stoke that day?? That Would be Mr Farmer wouldn't it VBB?

Doesn't it speak Volumes that we are even comparing them?
I was brought up in Waddo's great days, and it's fookin fantastic that we are now very much on the up. This Team is the closest we've been since then, and it's not the finished article yet.
This Team is really close to getting us back to those kind of days, lets enjoy!!!

I'm on the Delilah vid!! Fantastic time spent there with Stephen Fry's Ring and the Leek crowd (we're not normal, you know). Certainly the highlight of the day, we got there 10ish and had plenty of people asking to have their photo in front of the "148 years..." flag which was nice. Great effort from everyone there! As a slight aside, I was amazed by the bar staff's performance. With that number of thirsty urbs in the Gardeners, you'd be waiting an hour for a drink but the queues didn't seem at all proportional to the crowd there. I had 11 pints in there. Echoin all the above! We were in there at 10, and it was a brilliant start to the day! I'm one of the Leek Lads, and I've just checked, and yes I've got 6 fingers!

I think MCFC are a good club mate, but I think your Manager is a cock! This also helps us, because as a set of Fans,we are at our best, when we have somene to hate! (Mr Wenger Take Note) Good to see a Man City fan on here having a bit of Banter though, all the best Mate ------ After Tomorrow of course And get yourself a Manager who can take you forward, not sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways like your passing!

Went to my first game in 1969 v Manure! Nil Nil game, but got a confession!! I went with me Mum, who was a fanatical United Fan, and at age 8, so was I! But once I'd seen that Pitch, and seen Banksy in goal, I was a Hooked Stokie for life! Got first ST in 1975 in Butler Street, right under where the fookin Roof fell in! Now in Boothen and fookin lovin it, it's like in the 70's for me, competitive in the League, good Cup runs, Fookin enjoy this guys, this is the stuff of dreams, and the kind of days I thought I'd never see again!!

Pleased for Hilly!! Hope he get's a crack in the Prem!
Colin is a bit of a Knob, but I think he's a honest Knob. And I'd rather have him than many of the Managers currently in the Prem like Whinger, Mankini & Woy etc,

Glory Hunters is deffo the wrong term! But we will get more and more fans if we keep evolving the way we are now, and this is vital if we are to establish ourselves, and develop the next Generation of Stokies. I agree, it can be a little bit tedious seeing the Johnny Come Latelies who act like they've always been Stokies, and know everything about Stoke and our History, which is clearly bollocks when you get talking to them, but either way, these Guys are now Stokies, and join the Flock. I can remember Easter Monday 1975 when the PA kept asking everyone to move forward to let more people in! We played the Bin Dippers, and two Goals from TC beat them in front of 45,000 fans. That shows the depth of support that Stoke can attract, and I'm not saying that's the level now, but a couple of generations of Stokies have been missed whilst we were hopping around in the lower leagues, so all the newbies coming back now, need to be welcomed on board, and it would be fooking brilliant to sell 28k Season Tickets, and have the Corners filled in, playing in front of 32k every week, because I think this is a reasonable level for a catchment Area like SOT. The fame is deffo growing too, because after the Semi, I got a taxi to Heathrow, still in my Stoke Shirt and flew to Lyon and then onto Montpellier in deepest darkest France, and in Heathrow, I got loads of Stokie Comments, and in Lyon and Montpellier I also got asked about Stoke, so the fame is deffo spreading, some of the comments were actually well informed! Great Days, lets cherish and enjoy em!

I'm a City fan, but spare the abuse. -- Before the takeover City were a club in financial ruin, thanks to the purchase of Jo - who is... let's say 'awful' and be nice. We were just like Stoke are now (a mid table Premier League team), and even a year after the takeover, it looked as if wouldn't produce the trophies we were looking for. But not so long ago, both Stoke and City were relegated. Both clubs have come a long way since that day. So let's put most of our differences aside and make this a final to remember in terms of support and singing. Bring your craziest, loudest and best songs, and let's get Wembley rocking. I'd say City and Stoke are the loudest fans on our day, so let's back up my claim. City and Stoke may not be the glamourous Manchester United and Chelsea final that was predicted and expected, but we can make it the best FA Cup Final on the terraces. 50,000 strong in full voice can drown out the rather ridiculously chosen 40,000 of 'Club Wembley' people that don't care about either club. Let's make this a final to remember, shall we? Good Post Mate! I think two of the loudest most passionate sets of Supporters in the land will blow the lid of Wembley! It's just a pity that you can't cover all your ST Holders, and we can't sell the 40k we'd easily sell if the Tickets were available, then it would have been spine tingling hearing 80k of real Fans trying to outsing each other! Our Clubs have a lot in common, but I think it's important that your lot keep things in perspective moving forward, because all that money, could very easily, make you like your near neighbours, and I'd hate us to have to chant "Your Just A Blue n White Utd" at you ! lol Enjoy the day, we deffo will, and let's make it the loudest Final ever!!
