Stoke at home

[s1ty m]

OK, this is for real, my daughter is some sort of freaky witch doctor.

I said, not 3 minutes before the draw, 'Go out and sort Stoke at home please'. She left the room and returned, said she had fixed it. I nearly fell over when it came out.

Choice draw for us I reckon.

What does she say about tomorrow night?

Haha. Seriously, I often ask her to go and pray for a goal. You would not believe how often in happens too.

I know, I know, chances are goals get scored, but it is a bit uncanny.

Hey, we had this one thing going once when I would go out of the Kippax for a piss and miss a City goal. It happened 3 or 4 times on the trot. At WBA one saturday, we were 1 down. me old man says, 'Time for a piss Michael?'. Out I go. Varadi equalises.

I am not alone in thinking I, or my actions, can somehow alter the course of destiny, the space-time continuum and what City do. It's a sign of madness. But I am not alone. Rituals, etc, it's all Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, just in different guises. lol.

I'm not a religious person but that sounds a bit selfish and almost a bit like sacrilege. I mean, you could ask her to go and pray for world peace, food and shelter for everyone on Haiti, or for something more useful for humanity, seeing as she's on good terms with whomever she's praying to.

It doesn't mention TV but I presume it is on ITV1 - this KO time was, for the last round.

I dont know if ITV will show it but Setanta over here will deffo have it, i checkd the schedule and they have a slot at 17:00 so i'm guessing it will be us. Are there any other games that start at 17:00 except ours?

Could anyone confirm how many large bath towels we need to supply on the Advertising boards ?

I'm not sure because their pitch is smaller than ours and we will probably need four large towels on
both sides of the pitch. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Also, 1. what colours must be supplied, 'antagonistic blue' ? or simply white with a red stripe on it ?

2.Is it conceivable, because of the extra distance between the advertising hoardings and the side-line, that the referee
will have to add on an amount of extra -time because of the extra distance travelled ( their pitch being the size
kindergarten play area ) ?

3. Do we get the same throw-in conditions as Stoke, or must we play to regular football rules ( this being the FA cup, i'm
not so sure how it works ).

4. Once the towels are damp , do we need to replace them ?

5. Will Stoke accept only 100% cotton towels ? Egyptian or US cotton ?

I hope we can get these answers sorted out before the game. I'd really hate us to be found wanting to accomodate the
strange ritual that the Stoke players have when throwing the ball in.

It is definitely on ITV

Great.

At least we have this competition to focus on after last night, instead of the usual concentration on the league.
