It’s another exciting encounter in the EFL Championship, and it’s very exciting too. Here is the Matchday thread for this exciting game, it’s really interesting.

The Graeme Potters and the Super Swans face off again in ( C’mon ) Stoke. Not the best of hunting grounds for the swans over the years and especially after recent results, there are easier places to go. Like Canterbury for instance, the cathedral there allows access to get some lovely graveside rubbings done. On the plus side during Cooper’s last post match press gathering he had the look of a man who had already had his face rubbed with a rubby thing or whatever they use to do these things.
History
Stoke City v Swansea City
Games won: 30. Stoke City are in the ascendancy here
Games drawn: 21. Neither side has drawn more than the other
Games lost: 24. Or should we say games won by Swansea
There are other considerable and memorable moments in history, not necessarily related to this fixture, just in history itself. The Chinese are allegedly the First Nation to invent the grape, that was around 7000 years BC ( Before Cooper ) although that would be 9,000 years BC ? In any event photographs from back then show grapes being sold in markets and fermented in to wine. It is now known by crossing a very small balloon and a drop of water the grape is made. Cleaver folk the Chinese. That may lead me on to who invented the balloon, but not in this particular thread.

Incredible when you think that at no time have they featured on a takeaway menu. I’ll mention it next time I’m down my local takeaway the ‘Thai Tanic’ although it’s more favourable the guys who run ‘Chipsy Kings’ will be more responsive. My favourite takeaway in my neck of the woods is ‘For cod and for Ulcer’ over in the red, white and blue part of town. Great battered sausages. Although I’m a vegan, if I wasn’t they would be on my menu, but they aren’t. If it had a face and you eat it you are a part of the problem, not the solution, especially for pigs.

Stoke City Facts
Stoke City have had to put up with several rugby references over the years, so much so the football league now allow them to run whilst carrying the ball.
A Stoke player in action in the past, see how he glides with the ball in one hand ?
Pre-match trivia
Stoke are unbeaten in their last nine home league games against Swansea (W7 D2), winning each of their last four in a row.
Swansea last completed a league double over Stoke back in 2000-01 in the third tier.
Stoke have lost their last two games in the Championship, while they have only lost three in a row in the competition once previously under Michael O’Neill (in December 2019).
Swansea have suffered defeats in two of their last three Championship games (W1), as many defeats as they had in their previous 17 league games combined.
Both of Stoke boss Michael O’Neill’s previous Championship games against Swansea have ended 2-0, with Stoke winning one and losing the other. Their 2-0 victory did come in this exact fixture last season, however.

Normally I’d agree but it’s Stoke so screw them. The amount of points they’ve diddled out of us over the last decade or so with dodgy decisions it’s about time we had something back. | |

Naughton isn’t a drama queen
Steve isn’t a lucky boy
We’re not hypocrites at being happy we won. We’d be hypocrites if we’d say it’s it’s a fair penalty as we’d be livid if it was against us. Not one poster is saying it was a pen
A deserved win! | | | |

Because no one ever did it to us? No Manyoo player ever dived eh.
That's just Karma for Clarke cheating the ref and getting 4 free kicks during the game. What goes around... | |

Yes he does "race" up field, just not very quickly.
I have no idea why we keep putting high balls up field, we have hardly won any at all.
It just gives them back the ball, are we now scared to play out from the back? | | | |

I remember Moses in the bullrushes
Great result though.
Joe got away with a clear handball

I'm delighted that he did what he did. I have no problem with us cheating our way to wins. Every team does it. | |

What very weird comments yet again from you. No change there I suppose.
You sound gutted that we’ve won.
By the way hope you enjoyed another good display from Woodman. He was great wasn’t he. | |

Spot on, but we'll take it, we been on the wrong end of those enough times to deserve this one, not a bad game though, probably a draw would have been fair, but hey ho we had the win. [Post edited 3 Mar 2021 22:25]

Soft pen but was it make up for the hand ball decisions he'd ignored earlier.
Great 3 points but that was all in an evenly balanced game against a mid table side.
Stoke lived up to reputation ... dirty cheats who always leave something in the tackle then whine if they are touched. | |

Homer ref, a diving cheat in Clarke, and we win with a pen at Stoke. 😂😂
Ash must be p1ssing himself laughing in the studio. It's been a long time coming after the Moses pen up there, and the pen in the 3-3 draw over the Liberty. 😎 | |

I reckon we're even now after that horror show by Bobby Madley to gift them a draw (after we'd come from 2 down) in 2014. | | | |
