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.

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! |
Superb post! A win left a nasty taste in his mouth!
You just can't make it up, he's happy when we lose and gutted when we win |  |

On a more positive note - just give Connor Roberts POTS now . Unbelievable |
Been brilliant all season.
As has Guehi Grimes Woodman Bidwell and Fulton.
The rest have been good as well despite what the serial moaners say. [Post edited 3 Mar 2021 22:36]

Roberts deserves MOM but Manning was brilliant too, can't have been far behind. Fulton again, did his job quietly but effectively.
Lowe, seriously he needs a rest. He tried hard, he really did but he looks knackered. I'd rather put him on the bench and try Whittaker just to give Lowe a rest. If he keep sstarting he'll pick up an injury and we can't afford that. | |

Cooper sees them in training every day is Whitaker ready yet we have no idea really. [Post edited 3 Mar 2021 22:40]

Ok but can you admit that Lowe looked knackered and well before he went off? Maybe Whittaker isn't 100% ready but can we afford Lowe to get injured? | |

Credit to Cooper.
The change he made was needed and swung the game back in our favour and we dominated the last 15. |  |

Worked ok tonight when he came on for Lowe.
And with Conor Roberts busting a gut every game up and down the pitch we only need 1 striker
Lowe off the bench last 30.
Manning has given Cooper something to think about as well played well tonight. | |

Lottery numbers please |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Just been reading the Brentford forum and I know they're reading this as a few of us have been quoted on their lovely forum! They really aren't happy with our little slice of luck tonight... if only they knew we should have beaten Bristol City about 5-1 last Saturday...
A lot of them seem more confident than our fans of us finishing 2nd. We really are living in their heads rent free.
"I keep thinking that at some point refs are going to start playing fair with Swansea but they keep fluking it. Surely they can’t steal another 9 wins."
I know it's risky laughing at them but I can't help it, I can guarantee you they had a laugh at our expense on Saturday! | | | |

If Lowe is knackered and desperate for a rest, why worry about him getting injured? Won't be have his rest then? |  | | |
