technocracy Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'll raise your George Best with Sir Stanley Matthews . . . I thank you . . . All that can be said is 'We support our local team!' Actually in terms of US praising Delap - well I think you'll find we don't just rate him for his throws he is a decent central midfielder who doesn't stop grafting the whole 90 minutes. BUT anyway the only reason he's in the spot light is because of the media as David Johnson writes in his Telegraph Blog this week regarding Delaps throw: "It was never this effective in the Championship, and it's not our fault that Premier League defenders are either useless or stunted. Okay? Just get over it." Sums things up nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suiging Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I actually always liked going to Stoke. As a young lad I learned the high-hurdles in the graveyard and the fine art of pugilism in their town. Wolverhampton by the way, is, and always has been for true supporters, in Staffordshire, with Stoke our main rivals not Sandwell Town FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patklang Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 cheers singh,it will be a struggle but another couple of good signigs and maybe 1-2 loan deals,we might just avoid relegation,or even kitson starting to score would be a help.any way we are enjoying the season win,lose or draw but i do think the refs are woeful in the premiership and soon it will be no contact,partly due to that idiot wenger.the only team i will not shout for in the champions cup will be arsenal,the moaning prima donnas.

If not, which ones do you refer? <deleted>, nothing to do with any kind of racist conotation in any which way shape or form. My statement was about me and directed to me....! Can we change the direction now as I will not be labled in the light to which I am being shed. How United became the 'Rags'Updated: June 9th, 2008I’ve always wondered how United got to be nicknamed the ‘Rags’, until I found a fascinating snippet in Gary James’ Manchester - The Greatest City. It appears the name was given to them by their own fans. During the 1930-31 season, United were in a wretched state. The club teetered on the brink of bankruptcy and were attracting crowds of less than 4,000 for some games - despite still being in Division 1. Harry Hughes, a City fan working in Trafford, tells this story: “I worked in Trafford then, and all the locals were United fans. I was working nights and when Saturday morning arrived a couple of them asked ‘are you going to see the Rags today?’ I didn’t know what that meant, and then they explained that United fans had started to call the team the ‘Rags’ because they were so poor and that their kit looked liked rags. So after that I knew who they meant, but when I mentioned the Rags, they’d go, ‘who the hel_l are you talking about?’ They didn’t like the opposition saying it.” The poor level of support continued throughout the 1930s. When war broke out in 1939 an immediate ban was placed on the assembly of large crowds. The joke doing the rounds in Manchester was that United would have nothing to worry about. There’s another great Rags story told by Howard Burr, secretary of the Reddish Blues. Full story here. In 1968, Howard’s father was manager of the Umbro factory in Stockport. When United reached the European Cup final they put in a rushed order for the kit. The material his dad used had been lying about in the factory since the place was built and was full of dust and cobwebs. In fact, some of the machinists were upset it was being used because they used to cut lengths off the roll to take home for dusters. I have been called a rag and a raghead as a youth, From the board down, I've never ever denied that I am. I'd rather be a <deleted> than anything else in that sense.....<deleted>, scum, raghead, whatever..............! This statement is quite clearly pointed at myself....!redrus Edited November 21, 2008 by redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patklang Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 now now lads a bit of banter is good but not too nasty.we support who we support but as most supporters know,man poo have supporters all over the world and thejoke is that they are not from manchester.true or not true i wish stoke had 76,000 supporters travelling hundreds of miles a week win or lose. my gripe is with areshole wenger who has a dig about trying to maim his players and the fa not given him a fine,bloody disgusting and i hope arsenal lose every game and get knocked out of the league cup and champions cup.

Jockstar Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 As you know lads. This is the football forum. I allow certain things to slip by without issuing warnings. Which you would get in others forums of TV. So please refrain from calling each other names like wanke_r and the likes. Other mods look in here also.Not just me. For now no warnings have been handed out. This is just some friendly advice. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technocracy Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 BOING BOING BAG O'<deleted>! WE ALWAYS BEAT WEST BROM :D Moanbray what planet do you live on - the reason your poor saps of player couldn't entertain is because they are wank! Wake up and smell the coffee son! Next for the Britannia treatment . .. . Dull . .. . should be an interesting game.. .. 4 wins on the bounce at the Brit for us now if we can start picking up regular points on our travels this Premiership survival lark will be easy enough! But really now we've got the 'easier' games coming up Dull(H), Newcastle(A), Fulham(H), Blackburn(A) we should really be expecting a healthy 8 or 9 point return. GOOOARNNNNNNNNNNNNNN YOU POTTERS!

technocracy Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 even kitson starting to score would be a help. Cheers for the 5.5m What a signing he has turned out to be Just to point out that we haven't actually paid 5.5 mil - yet - thankfully Pulis negotiated a deal which was heavily reliant on his performance. I forget the exact figure but I think it's around 2.3mil we paid upfront - the rest is paid up certain targets (goals scored, appearances, caps etc). A big shame about his injury yesterday - with Fuller being out it really was his chance to lead the line and show what he could do. Hope he's back in action soon, particularly with the Carling Cup Qtr Final and FA games on the horizon we need as much fire power up front as possible.

technocracy Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just a quick update for any Potters fans (and 'Ull) much to my surprise we are on live tonight on TrueSport 3 - not on one of the Extra channels. So very happy as we don't get TrueSport 5, Extra 1 & 2 on Lao Digital TV just 1, 2 & 3. We obviously have moved up their ranking as they've put us on 3 and Villa v Fulham on 5! The others are Wigwam v Tesco Bags (Extra 1) & Scumderland v Bolton (Extra 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
