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.

Suicide play by Guehi. |
So why do the players play like this.
Goohi is not alone
Why did Woody dive after the ball had virtually passed him | |

He refuses to sprint off his line. I don't expect him to save that but at least sprint at the attacker to close down the angle and make it more difficult. |  |

It’s a matter of desire now. We played well in the first half and should have scored at least 3 but we didn’t and uncharacteristically conceded 3 goals.
We have to come out fighting tonight - get that indomitable spirit back , buckle up and go for it. Automatic promotion is still well within our grasp - we have to prove we’ve got the balls for it. |
Leaking goals like water, embarrassing, why didn't he pass it to Grimes, that has given ourselves another mountain to climb. |  |

We have to improve up front. Have to. |  |
| 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.

He effectively gives up. | |

Well there's nobody else to blame for that goal other than Guehi. | |

Maybe the coach should encourage players to play away from danger.
We often do it | |

For me next goal either finishes our season or gets us back moving forward - if we lose by 2 or more think we can forget play-offs & the Prem, that said if we turn it around we can build a new belief.
Interesting 75 mins for us all! | | | |
