Geography
Although South of Yorkshire, stokies are not cockney winkers nor thankfully northerners. They are midlander. Non descript neither one or t'other.
Stoke on Trent is not a place it's an amalgam of 4 towns.
Stoke Town, On Town, Trent Town and Porn Vale.
Nickname
Stoke City are known as the pittas (see emoji above) due to their proliferation of kebab shops.
The original was opened by Josiah Wedgewood in 1789.

Stoke stereotypes.
Can't find a great deal.

They all eat oatcakes. These appear to be porridge (jizz) pancakes. No thanks.

Farke has stated that currently it's impossible for Summerville to play 3 consequetive full games in a row due to an injury which he is carrying, however even if this was not the case and he decided to rest him, the team that was on the pitch was strong enough to roll Stoke over with a bit to spare.
There has to be some managerial thinking behind Farke's decision to constantly play Gray at RB, a position which he is clearly uncomfortable playing, I really don't understand it.
I think Roden's reaction to that ****'s penalty miss just about sums up what we all thought. I've yet to speak to a Leeds fan who believed that he would score. As captain, Strujik should have taken control and passed the responsibility to someone else, however easier said than done when a senior player steps in.
I expect a positive reaction against the dog botherers on Saturday morning.
