Past results mean nothing. However Stoke playing well and it will be tough.
1-1

It's not something even Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool can say.

TP manager of the month award to go with his manager of the year award.
But I'm sure some on here will still moan....

Whilst tactical genius might be a little gushing to get us 8pts clear of relegation with some of the dross we have at the club deserves all the praise in the world.
The summer re build didn't work Mr Burton.
Fingers crossed we do a better job this summer.

That is such a depressing stat, Baggie Man.
It's not something even Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool can say.Aries, I also found it hard it hard to swallow and I doubt if there is any other club in the whole league who can boast such a continual 100% success record against any rival given a similar number of games played.
It is little wonder that over the years with entire player changes, different managers, different directors - in fact different everything, Stoke fans are still able to rightly sing "We always beat West Brom' and living where I do surrounded by Sjokies have to suffer their taunts. There is no scientific explanation for a jinx team but with Sjoke they certainly are ! Grrrrr.

BBC reporting McManaman out and all 3 strikers carrying injuries. Even given that the Beeb couldn't find its collective arse with an atlas, it's not looking like a goalfest. Not for us, anyway.

Let us pray.

That's bad news Baggie vicar. Looks like me may have to revert to away tactics of shut up shop and hope for a set piece goal.
Not going to be a great game to watch then but with injuries hitting hard let's take a point.

Play the Nabi`s. 3-1 Baggies. DD ((Hic emote)Hic emote).
As an after thought maybe TP has fed BBC false info.......... DD
And if all else fails.
The following recipe for avenging oneself on one's enemies is given by Kunn, in Westphalia: "When the new moon falls on a Tuesday, go out before daybreak to a stake selected beforehand, turn to the east and say: 'Stick, I grasp thee in the name of the Trinity!' Take thy knife and say: 'Stick, I cut thee in the name of the Trinity, that thou mayest obey me and chastise anyone whose name I mention.' Then peel the stick in two places to enable thee to carve these words: 'Abia, obia, sabis,' lay a smock frock on thy threshold and strike it hard with the stick, at the same time naming the person who is to be beaten. Though he be many miles away, he will suffer as much as if he were on the spot." All this distinctly depends upon the moon being new on a Tuesday.

Sounds like we will be lucky to compete. Park the bus, defend like crazy and pray for a lucky goal on the break.
Don't care how ugly a game - just get at least a point.

It don't work, Stairs. Crouch or Walters will get one eventually.
If we're gonna do that at home (never mind the injury probs) bring on relegation.....to League 2 if necessary.
Give the kids a chance but don't dish that ugly football up to people who're spending their last pennies on Season Tkts.
