I once killed a man near Maine Road and someone else did time for it. That reminds me, I saw Queen live at Maine Road in the late 80's. I was there too and I got my photo in the tour book that was released later that year. Support was from Status Quo and Belouis Some! Remember him?? |

Remember him?? I was at the Queen gig at Maine Road too. I didn't kill anyone or get my face in the tour book, but I did get terrible stage fright when I queued up for ages to go for a piss, and then couldn't go. |

Man Utd aren't in my top 5 most hated clubs.. seems to be strange for a Stoke fan, but I dont care about them at all. Much more villainous sides in this country imo. Made me think... They come 3rd for me. 1. Birmingham 2. Liverpool 3. Man Utd 4. Vale 5. Cardiff No Arsenal? My most hated. |

Remember him?? To be honest, no. I only saw Queen. It was the Kinda Magic tour. Probably too pissed to remember. |

I want Arsenal to win the league for a change this season. In that case then, I'll take one of your finest Manchester City Lethal Injections please my good sir. |

During the early 1990's I was driving my car full of pissed up Stoke mates past Vale park late on on a Saturday night. One of them need a piss, so I stopped and he pissed up a turnstile door. He was a big lad, so he lent on the door to steady himself. The next thing was an almighty bang as the door flew open and he went flying inside the ground. There were no alarms or security lights, so we found ourselves wandering around an empty Vale park at midnight. One of the other muppets found a shovel and started digging a few small holes in the pitch! We were going to put the turf back , but a loud noise outside made us crap ourselves and ran back to my car for a fast getaway. The headlines in the Sentinel on Monday morning, and on billboards outside newsagents, was 'Yobs wreck Vale Park pitch' With a photograph of a rather stern looking Bill Bell. The 'story' also made Midlands Today news! Bill Bell reckoned they had some kind of infrared cameras in the ground, and that the perpetrators would be identified. One of my numpty mates was so worried that he would get a knock on the door, that he was very close to handing himself in! Suffice to say we talked him out of it! These were the days before mobile phones and pictures everywhere, which is definitely a good thing. Few years ago Vale were running a survey to get ideas for renaming the recently refurbished Bycars end of the ground. I suggested that The Bell End would be appropriate as their former chairman had recently popped his clogs. It ended up with the ridiculous name of British Coal Opencast Stand. |

I instinctively think any grown many who has a players name and number on their shirt is a loser. I also think the same for anyone wearing a football shirt either away from the game such as shopping or on holiday. They almost always look like they’re pregnant as well with huge beer bellies. |

I can't remember how long ago it was now, so I am guessing at the early 1990s.
During a Christmas fixture on the Boothen end, a few of us decided to meet up outside Fail Park on New Year's Day, in our Stoke tops to take a group photo.
Our lovely team shot of around eight of us all baring our arses standing below a 'Vale Park' sign duly made it for publication in The Oatcake.
Immature I know, but it still makes me laugh now.

For the record I agree with you, and fall into neither category, but I feel I could apply leniency for the aforementioned scenario. |

When we got to Wembley in 72 I couldn’t go, I was home on leave from the navy but was scheduled to return before the game. Desperate to be home and watch on tv I went the doctors pretending to have a sore throat and temperature. To help with the deception I had a cup of very hot soup just before I went in the surgery. Not sure if he was fooled but he issued me a one week sick on shore certificate.

I don’t think Diamond Lights by Hoddle and Waddle is a bad song. It stacks up with a lot of those types of songs from the 80s. It's a certified banger and I've mad a couple of poor attempts over the years to try and get it to go viral and make it to xmas no.1 Unfortunately I haven't got the motivation or the loss of dignity that the likes of ladbaby have to actually make it work. No doubt some cunt will do it one day and it will be massive. |

I also think the same for anyone wearing a football shirt either away from the game such as shopping or on holiday. Oppositely, I do not understand this notion that anybody wearing a football shirt of the club they support, anywhere other than a football match, is weird. You aren't the first one to post it but I just don't get why it bothers people. I can't remember the last time I wore one other than in the gym because I don't own a current, decent one, but I'd wear one if I did. |

I've not managed to watch a full 90 minutes on tv this season of any team, including Scotland or Stoke, without either flicking through the channels bored or simply falling asleep.
There was a high scoring game in the Premiership I was watching and even though it was 3-2 or something it just felt completely pointless.
I once also wore an England shell suit my mum's mate from work gave her and she made me wear it to look appreciative. I nearly gave myself lasting physical scarring standing too close to the fire to melt the front to avoid wearing it for a photo.

I had an arsenal shirt because i loved watching thierry henry I had a Blackburn one when they won the title🤦🏻♂️ Was a lovely shirt mind So did I as I grew up in East Lancashire and we followed Blackburn within the family. That ASICS shirt was a lovely one. Still have it somewhere and still watch Blackburn from a distance now I’m based in North Staffordshire. Such a shame what has happened to a once well run club under Jack Walker. |

Remember him?? I remember Belouis Some's Imagination video. The full length uncensored version is available in high definition on YouTube™ if you fancy a throwback to 1980s soft porn featuring very fit ladies with an electronic pop song playing in the background. I might get around to watching it some time. Again. For the umpteenth time. |

A friend got tickets for the 1988 Vale v Spurs game. The one Jimmy Greaves said, Spurs biggest problem would be finding the ground.
It was a great match, my mate an I were about 16, stood right under the Spurs fans in the railway paddock, they had sold out all the upper I think.
We sided with underdogs and didn't want Southerners win, piss taking the away fans, it was great.

In the days before mobiles, the internet etc, I coughingly called into work 'sick' (via an old fashioned 'house phone'), before setting off to Swansea with mates. Maybe about 1993 or so. Midweek game (why is Swans away always midweek?) Imagine my horror to see my boss on the concourse, but he gave me a knowing nod and smile, and I watched I think Gleghorn and Stigger Foley give us a 2-1 away win (Coach next to us windows were smashed by bricks but thats another story!) Went into work knackered as wasnt home until 2am, looked rough, but expecting to be dragged into a room for a bollocking Turns out he was ill and not at work that day too, and we never spoke of it again 😂 Was at that game, MENTAL! |

I couldn't get radio reception for this one other than Radio Wales...in Welsh. Could make out was going on by the player names the crowd noise and the commentators tone especially when we scored Very surreal |

First strip I had was a Fulham strip.......for my birthday (I must have been about 8 or 9). My mum went into Newcastle to get me a Stoke strip but they had none left. God love her she couldn't come home with no birthday present so a Fulham strip it was.

Could make out was going on by the player names the crowd noise and the commentators tone especially when we scored Very surreal Never seen so many cars and buses damaged, and I mean smashed to bits. I didn't realise how far Swansea was!!! Didn't leave Stoke til after work about 6 didn't get there til halftime. Thrashed a Golf Gti all the way there, missed the M50 went long way over Severn Bridge, Nearly give up at Cardiff and drove back. Got there, thought fuck it, parked on double yellows by a kebab house right by ground. Afterwards, no ticket, not a mark on it. Coming out ground somehow ended up in with Sawansea fans, shit ourselves. Looking to twat Stokies everywhere. Kept our heads down. Got to first services, we pulled on to 'have a minute' and celebrate being alive. There were just loads of Stoke cars and buses all with no windows! Everyone come over to me. 1, to check I had a Staffs tax disc (which I had) and 2, to ask where I'd parked! They couldn't believe it. Hiding in plain site! |
