'Ay up' from a Stokie

[PotterLou]

Hello!

I'm a Stoke fan here in peace. I've got a bit of a soft spot for Spurs (although not this weekend, of course), and I think there's plenty of Stoke fans who feel the same - after all, we hate Arsenal too.

If you've got any questions about visiting Stoke for the match, or if you want a Stoke perspective on anything, ask and I will answer.

So, yes. Hello.


Edit: Can't reply in this thread, so will respond to your comments here. Firstly, thanks for the welcomes!

hxspurs - Yeah, obviously we don't have quite the history you lot have with Arsenal, but we lost two FA Cup semi-finals in a row to them in the 70s (in one of them, their offside goal was allowed because the linesman thought an programme seller in the stand opposite was a Stoke defender!), so we've harboured a bit of resentment towards them for a while.
Most of us had a lot of respect for Wenger and the current team, though (they got a decent amount of applause when they first came to the Brit), but since our promotion they've stood out as the club least likely to give us any credit for anything, ever, and most likely to pretty much accuse us of being the footballing equivalent of the anti-christ.

HeroesComesandGoes - of course we're kind. We're a friendly bunch up in the Potteries. As far as I'm aware, the name Delilah is only special because the song is. And the song's only special for pretty arbitrary reasons.

Wow - never knew that people from Stoke are kind ;-) - Welcome BTW. Delilah is another Stoke fan from the famed Delilah's forum.

On that note - What's so special about the name, Delilah?

Good luck with the game - think we both may need it!!!

Hey ya Stokie. Welcome to the forum. I noticed the Stoke-Arsenal rivalry build up as well. Was so happy when you dumped them out of the FA Cup. I would say that Arsenal are the English Football Talent Anti-Christ due to their lack of homegrown players in the first team and Wenger's intention of maintaining the French/French-African National B-team.

Furthermore, I fully backed Shawcross during the Ramsey tackle. No malice in it and you could see his remorse from a mile off. Most of these horrific leg breaks seem to occur when the injured player sticks one foot on the ground hoping to kick the ball with the other so the force from the challenging player's leg builds up in one area where it can't be distributed, making the bone break.

Anyway, enjoy your time here. Always nice to have other teams on here.
