Macari said: “A lot has always been made how Stoke and West Brom have approached the game but if you want to play ‘better’ football and lose then keep doing it.

“He won’t give a hoot about this supposed free-flowing football West Brom apparently play.

What did Macari ever know about football? Feckall.
He took Stoke to the dizzy heights of 2nd Division Champs, and got them their lifelong tag of "Hoofballers" (which Pulis resurrected years later after Macari's crap Club tumbled down the Divisions).
Stoke fans try to believe that we're their rivals. Bollocks! They've never won bugger-all (except the League Cup one year in the 70s); they're 40 miles from anywhere, so they like to think of us as a local derby - No. We couldn't care less about them and their neanderthal fans.
Stoke fans love hoofball - it's all they know. They're a joke Club who dream of their big derbies against Port Vale, and secretly wish they would drop a couple of Divisions to get a bit of respect.
