    What were you beaten with as a child and by whom?

    It is interesting though isn't it how we all had a bit of 'pain' punishment and here we are today all grounded, respectful and all round good citizens off the back of it. Kids of today have zero respect for adults or anybody for that matter because there is no deterrent and they know this. Give...

    Are Stoke City sleepwalking into a struggle next season?

    There you go, its not all grim up North :) My late Grandmother used to live in Alsager. Very rural sleepy northern England.

    The Palace thing

    Ignore all that mate, it's nothing new is it? The majority of Stoke fans, or at least the educated ones, have a lot of respect for BHA and the journey you have been on as we were very close to a similar fate many years ago.

    The Palace thing

    Probably nastier these days than it ever has been, even though we are leagues apart. This all came about around the 1990's really when Vale had their 15 minutes of fame and were above us for a period. They were on a roll and we were in our darkest days. The hatred and vitriol they showed towards...

    Are Stoke City sleepwalking into a struggle next season?

    I know exactly where you are, used to use that place as a youngster. I can't disagree that Fenton is a bit depressing and Stoke, as a whole, is not exactly Beverley Hills but there are plenty of really nice places if you go looking, Trentham being a good example. It is like anywhere really, good...

    Are Stoke City sleepwalking into a struggle next season?

    Stoke fan here We are very worried currently, we seem to be on a very negative trajectory currently and its all a bit doom and gloom. We undoubtedly have the quality in Shaquiri, Imbula, Arnautovic, Joe Allen and a few others but Mark Hughes just can't seem to get the best out of them. On our...

    The Palace thing

    Obviously Vale are our natural rivals and always plenty of stick & abuse for them. The Naughty Forty== They were, back in the day, probably 300 plus strong so could look after themselves against anybody. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, they are all 50/60 year old...

    The Palace thing

    Pure coincidence mate. I used to drink in a bar called Joe Bananas in Hong Kong when I lived there. I think when I signed up for North Stand Chat I had just got in from there and whilst scratching my head for a username it was the best I could come up with at that very moment. Thanks to...

    The Palace thing

    Ahhhh ok cheers mate! Chinese whispers and all that over the years, the story gets distorted I guess as I definitely heard something about spitting, or maybe that was just a conversation I was having with the wife last night and absolutely nothing to do with this!!!! :albion2:

    Stoke City fan here in peace. Firstly a massive congrats on your promotion. Gutted you didn't get the Title, the intolerable success starved Geordies will dine out on that for years!!! I live down here so follow the Seagulls as a second team and attend the odd game. Always a good day out. Just...

    Stoke Fans first visit to the Amex V Blackpool

    Well I speak for myself and I was impressed and I think the general concensus is positive. That guy seems to have a bit of a chip sadly living in the area and obviously surrounded by Brighton fans who are clearly giving him a hard time.

    Stoke Fans first visit to the Amex V Blackpool

    Hello Seagulls. The founding and still only member of the Hove, Stoke City supporters club here. Great start to the season, must be just superb being a Brighton fan right now and hats off to you all. I had the pleasure of being at the Blackpool game on Saturday and have to say I was very very...

    Nottingham stag weekend

    Places to avoid...... yeh Nottingham! Rough as fook, loads of Gun crime, the City centre resembles The Bronx on a Friday and Saturday night and the reason there are 4 birds for every bloke is that the blokes have either been shot dead or have left the area to hide from their personal drugs debt...

    if Barcelona played Stoke City on a cold november evening

    Yep thats what they have been saying every pre season for the last 3! You might be right one day! I don't think the likes of QPR, Norwich, Blackburn, Wigan, Wolves, Reading or Swansea are anywhere near ahead of us in the pecking order just yet so pray tell your thinking behind this prediction?

    if Barcelona played Stoke City on a cold november evening

    I know your not having a go don't worry was just pretending to throw my toys out of the Pram! I know the limitations of Stoke, I also know that people don't like our style but they have survived with this style for 3 seasons now whilst everyone else who has been promoted in the last 3 seasons...
