Stoke City v Rovers: 25th November 2023

Barmitzvah Boy

Global winner of the 2021 Christmas Quiz 👊🤩🤩
On Saturday the blue boys make the short trip down the M6 to the potteries to play Stoke. The date is significant as it is exactly one month until Father Christmas delivers me the usual Xmas treat of a bottle of cheap red wine (it will go in the beef rib roast) a pair of gloves (they will go in the glove drawer, or maybe I will give them to a homeless Brit in the back streets of Lisbon) and the dreadful black socks (destined for the shoe shine box).

Our remaining pre-Xmas games are listed below along with my predictions on the outcome. Let’s have a little competition to see who predicts closest to the final outcome. The winner will receive a promise of a pint from me 🥸

Stoke away - win
Birmingham home - win
Sheff Weds away - defeat
Leeds home - defeat
Bristol City home - win
Southampton away - defeat
Watford home - draw

7 games in a month is a lot. I just hope we can get a few of our crocks back from injury and we keep the number of bookings down to a minimum.

Stoke of course are managed by the evil Alex Neil previously of the Nobbers. Anyone and anything to do with that team get my goat up and I will be a happy chappie if we get one over him and his team of bog makers this weekend. A following in excess of 2,000 will be cheering on our boys, yet another excellent away showing by our supporters. I will be flying in (1st class of course, I don’t like to be with the ’smellies’) especially to see our boys before departing for a round of golf and a few gin snifters.

You may ask why I refer to Stoke as the bog makers, it is of course because Stoke is the home of sanitary ware and especially toilets, sinks and baths. Unfortunately sales East of Blackburn are still minimal as the inside toilet has still to catch on in Burnley.

Enough of this toilet talk. Let’s get down to business. After a crap end to the Preston game it is time Rovers left all that shit behind, we poo poo the critics and end the turdgid runs of letting in late goals. We really need to piss a few games rather than watch our games go down the bowl.

My prediction is a 3-0 win for the Rovers. Some good news is that I have persuaded my old Tory hero Anne Widdecombe to become our new Rovers pinup. She is pictured below as the Preston winner went in. For my next preview I have a photo of her in a nurse outfit, she looks stunning.

Brilliant as usual BB - Rovers will win 2 - 1 unless we can get one of the summer recruited strikers (ah ah) coming into form.

Has Ennis had a Michael Jackson bleach job on his hands BB?

Sadly I think Stoke will edge it 2-1. Hope I’m wrong though.

Wharton off with a cut head after a collision with dwight gale. Travis on at rb and he's already going awol at times. Meanwhile szmodics could/should have had 2 goals. Stoke always dangerous with our old pne foe Johnson pulling plenty of strings have had the most territory rovers have had the best chances.
