When we played Blackpool, and after a rousing rendition of “ Blackpool’s A shit hole, I’d rather go Rhyl” the young lad who sat next to us In the family stand turned to his dad and said “Dad, what’s a shittle? Made more than a few around us chuckle, and with baited breath as we waited for the answer. His dad took the easy option and said “I’ll explain later” no doubt hoping his lad would forget to ask the question! Should have just said Burslem |

You still have to pinch yourself as to how we managed to get ourselves relegated with the talent at our disposal last season. It was some stunt however you look at it! You still need a striker and still need a solid CB pairing. We had the ballballs and tinsel, but no tree  |

When my daughter was about 8 we were walking around an old English Heritage Abbey. Trying to hold her attention I explained about Henry VIII and the dissolution of the monasteries. After about 10 minutes of silent pondering I got a tug on my sleeve.
"Dad was this place disillusioned too then?"

A few years back we had a few members of the travelling community set up camp just outside our village in an enclosed area with a fence around it. Unfortunately it upset someone and with a shakey hand they decided to spray on the said fence ‘No Pikies’. On returning home past the artwork my innocent wife came in and asked me why somebody had written No Pixies just outside the village! I had to explain to her that small magical beings weren’t the problem.

As a kid I was sure Michael Jackson was telling a girl named Annie to eat her oatcakes, in the manner of a parent who isnt gonna make anything different for tea

In the first few lines of Elton John's hit "I'm still standing", Iam sure he sings Did you think that Stoke would never win

When my lady was young she used to think the Beatles song paperback writer said paint the black whiter 🤣. Obviously I mock her regularly about it.

We can all laugh and joke about these things.
But there is a hell of a lot of us that are probably guilty as a large group.
Back in the 80’s when quite often a fight would break out inside the ground the Boothen End would regularly sing “Stokie Aggro Stokie Aggro woah woah and repeat....
Nowt wrong with that chant.
But on other occasions the Boothen would chant
“ A,G”
“A,G,R
“A,G,R,O
AGRO!
Now that was probably a 5-10,000 spelling mistake😎

As I have finally posted it may be worth telling you about the lad at school who used to sing "Benny O'Hill's a radio star", to the tune of the Buggles classic hit

An advertising jingle for a washing up liquid some people may remember - I thought it was “hands for a judicious feeling, soft as your face “. ??

In the first few lines of Elton John’s I’m still standing I’m sure he sings “did you think Stoke would never win” 😱 This! Absolutely. Got me for years. Apparently the lyrics are “Fools never could hope to win” No way on earth is he singing Fools! Then after the next chorus and starting the next verse to the same tune it sounds like “Watford never could hope to win” I did wonder whether he changed the lyrics as he was Watford Chairman through the 80’s and was big into all things football at the time and I wondered if he changed it during our holocaust season of 85. But the song was released in 83 I think so doesn’t really add up. I’m still convinced he says “Stoke” though. |

My little brother spent his first couple of seasons on the Boothen singing "Sit here til I die." It's amazing the level of helpless resignation that Pulis football had on us all! This still makes me chuckle |

Just looked him up and surprised to see he’s still on our books out on loan for the 3rd season. Another waste of £12m.
On a similar vein for many years I thought Ant & Dec was one bloke Anton Deck. How annoying it was realising there was 2.

Back in the 70's, my mate John Hambleton was a midfield general for a Sunday pub team. When he was in possession, his teammates would shout for the pass.'Hambo!', 'Hambo!'. The ref waved his arms vigorously in front of his body and shouted 'Play on!'. True story.
