Had the misfortune to listen in this morning. JP was describing how his Dad was in a box at Stoke, singing YWNWA and swaying with his scarf as Liverpool was winning 1 - 5 ?? JP was playing at the time...... I cannot recall this match, he is such a cock! It’s going back a while but Liverpool did beat us 5-1 at the Victoria Ground in the late 70’s early 80’s- can’t remember the exact year- it was Souness, Ronnie Whelan era- Sammy Mcillroy scored our goal.

Very similar to his last game with us. He looked fucking awful. But had excuses back then. Shawctoss was dire and didn't help

I left at 3-1 and didn't realise was 5 until the next day at school

During that spell both Pennant and Matty should have had a chance for England. They were quick, hard working and had ridiculous levels of confidence. I like Southgate and I like that he picks more players in form. Shame he came a few years too late. Given that England hadn't had a decent left mid since Joe Cole (for a short time), it's amazing that Etherington couldn't get a peak in for that 12 month spell. Pennant was good but Etherington a class above 2010 he should have been in the England squad He was up for a place in the ROI squad but got an injury at one stage

You'll never wank alone ... All the good Pennant ever did was undone when he gave that penno away against Everton. Im certainly not a tin foil hatter but nobody will ever convince me he hadnt taken a bung or was told to get booked. He had one go at him that could have been a pen and then when it wasn't given went all in on him.

It’s amazing isn’t it .....Pulis gets lauded for getting us to a cup final but the players who achieved it get fucking slaughtered Step forward Pennant and Kenwyne Jones was always under rated here imo, he was too laid back for some, I still think it was a mistake signing Crouch to replace him the money could have been much better spent on the football side of it at least. Really ? The mardarse - who went from us to cardiff, to al jazeera to atlanta and then out of the game. Versus Crouchy, who scored 33 more goals for us, was a model pro, and popular in the dressing room and on the terraces. for laid back - try lazy.

I liked Pennant a great deal, watched back the 5-0 semi final the other day and he was bloody brilliant. Two chalk on the boots wingers who were rapid, liked nothing more than taking players on and lashing a ball into the box. Direct football at it's very best, why TP decided to parr that off for players like Shotton and Adam on the wing I will truly never know. During that spell both Pennant and Matty should have had a chance for England. They were quick, hard working and had ridiculous levels of confidence. I like Southgate and I like that he picks more players in form. Shame he came a few years too late. Given that England hadn't had a decent left mid since Joe Cole (for a short time), it's amazing that Etherington couldn't get a peak in for that 12 month spell. Not he does pick in form players when Pickford is getting selected ahead of Pope and Henderson.It will be interesting to see who he picks in goal for the next international because Pickfords stats are the worst of all the English keepers playing in the premiership.

The only one who turned up for the cup final. Had some talent - The pen against Everton was extremely dodgy/weird and if I remember correctly he never played again after that - but could be wrong there.
He went on the jungle program and I don't think he covered himself in glory on that - not a lot between the ears, but then he is a footballer and sadly not the worse character we have had at stoke over the last few years

I think the point the op is making is pennants a cock 🤭 JP's dad supporting someone else makes JP a cock? If that's what the OP is trying to get across, then when it comes to desperately finding reasons just to slag a player off, this has got to be one of the worst cases of barrel scraping i've seen. I look forward to the future thread "Etherington was a wanker, because his Auntie tried an oatcake once and wasn't overly keen" No I don’t think he’s a cock I liked him n I’d have let him shag my wife 😳
