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 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.

Quite easy to see how, if not for our current penchant for shooting ourselves in the foot, this could've been another one of our vintage 1-0 performances.
A decent half, and a lovely goal again from Connor. |  | | |

Our passing is atrocious. Guehi’s howler was just the worst example of it. |  | | |

Pleasing first half except that calamity from Guehi but we’ve played well that apart
Manning really outstanding
Jamal doing some great defensive work but he’s not done enough with the ball tonight (yet)

He needs to be subbed in the second half for his own good, he may well have concussion from those. |
He's had concussion for 6 weeks |  |

Early signs are it's improved them so will we carry on as we are or will Coops have a tinker? Stoke should have scoed already, our passing is poor again and we started slow.
Roberts and Manning are our best attacking threat. | |

I get the impression some posters would be chuffed if Stoke started playing better now so they can trot out the line that Cooper can't adapt. Bet they're poised at their keyboards. |  |

This sub, Clarke, he's throwing himself over all the time and the ref is falling for it.
Surely Fletcher should be booked for that, it's a foul off the ball. | |

It was never a free kick, that was given against him.
We need to get a grip on this . |  |

Manning wide with the ball and Lowe is just jogging forward, he should have been busting a gut to get forward for a pass inside then. | |
