The report I had described City's forwards as toothless

LAST SEASON

PRESTON NORTH END 3 STOKE CITY 1

A Jack Butland masterclass that night said absolutely no one

First meeting 6/10/1888 we won 7-0, we scored 10 the sdeason afterwards, there have been a couple of 4-3 games both winning one, if memory serves me right we were 3-1 up and still lost the game.
Stoke's last victory at Deepdale 1-0 16/9/2005

New Boys
Jacob Brown £2 million
Fox and Fletcher both free from Sheff Wednesday

Last season City flirted with relegation for a vast amount of the season, sacked Nathan Jones sniffed around our boss for a while before picking up Michael O'Neill the Northern Ireland manager. They eventually finished 15th leading scorer being Sam Clucas with 11

A coupe of seasons ago after relegation their support claimed they would walk the Championship they didn't, another empty ground sadly this is one of those games were there would have been plenty of atmosphere with those jolly fellows from the Potteries no chance to here Delilah this season.
There is a book about a Stoke fan how travelled to Deepdale from his home in Norwich to the 4-3 game we won, his after match melt down is epic to say the least, the book is called, 'She stood there laughing' it's a good read if you can find a copy.

Finally after game blogs wil be copy and paste for the foreseeable future for the simple reason Semi Pro football are still letting supporters in, sit at home in front of a computer or go to a game, , no brainer really
