The Wizards of Drivel - Stoke City Podcast

Stoke get relegated. Dave, Chris, Tom and Bunny talk about how they're all coping. We look back on that Palace game and a horrible season, but pick out some highlights from our ten Premier League years. In addition, we talk fan action, our hopes and expectations for next season, Championship awaydays, Rhyl, and being with Stoke City every step along the way. www.wizardsofdrivel.com TWITTER: @wizar...

Stoke draw 0-0 at Anfield in a great defensive display and bizarrely we're still not actually down yet. Dave, Tom and Ben look at the next two games and think maybe...just maybe. There's praise for Erik Pieters' band of merry men for shutting out Mo Salah, and we answer your questions. We also discuss whether Paul Lambert is the right man to take us forward and 'Bannergate.' ***NOTICE*** Writers a...

Dave, Ben and Tom are feeling the full range of feelings after devastating dropped points against West Ham and Burnley leave Stoke basically down. We discuss the plethora of things that have gone wrong, search for any bright spots, and deliver our verdict on Paul Lambert. All your questions answered. www.wizardsofdrivel.com TWITTER: @wizardsofdrivel INSTAGRAM: @wizardsofdrivelpodcast FACEBOOK: Wiz...

In the absence of a Stoke game to review, Real Sport football editor Jon Mackenzie joins Dave, Ben and Chris to talk about our impending exit from the Premier League, whether it's actually a good league and whether the grass is greener in The Championship - a league described as a sh*thole by one of the four. Besides that, there's talk on the media's coverage of Stoke's demise, what we as fans act...

Stoke lose again, but we're so used to it by now we're just chilling as we board the Champion ship. There's praise for a much better Stoke display, chat on xG (eeeuurgh), Diouf, Saido, your correspondence, and breaking news on SJW becoming an SJW.

The Wizards go a bit tin-foil hat, as Stoke falter at the Emirates thanks to a corrupt ref. Among the theories discussed: > All Arsenal fans are Russian bots > Mick McCarthy will save us all > League 1 is actually the place to be > Brentford isn't a real place > The Big Bang is responsible for our relegation

Welcome to the support group. The first step is acceptance.

Dave, Chris and Ben gather around their microphones to take a broader look at Stoke's current predicament. They are strangely positive, which makes this description writer scared, and they predict a Stoke win against runaway league leaders Manchester City. Listeners who tune in after Monday at 22:00 will realise how wrong they were.

Stoke draw with Leicester, which is both a good and bad thing.

After a fairly devastating game at the bet365, Dave and Ben regroup to discuss another average performance against Brighton, the five minutes of utter madness at the end of the game and look to the future: will we or won't we stay up?

Ben, Chris and Tom discuss an eventful week for Stoke. One point gained, one player gained and one hell of an uphill struggle to come.

Ben connects with RTE 2FM to talk all things Martin O'Neill as rumours he could be the next man to take on the vacant managerial position at Stoke refuse to go away. Ben went into the call with positive thoughts in mind, but you would definitely didn't finish the call with the same mindset…

Stoke now search for someone who can save the people and restore freedom to the galaxy. Dave, Chris and Tom reflect on Hughes' departure and discuss who's likely to come in next. #SCFC

Stoke lost again. Dave, Chris and Tom talk about films instead.

Dave, Ben and Zach are in the Christmas spirit. There's some chat on an actual Stoke win, and some cracking stories from you the listeners. Back in the new year! Have a lovely Christmas!

Dave, Ben and Chris are back, and can barely string a coherent sentence together.

Dave and Tom are left to pick over the bones of that game, and we answer your questions. Theme tune: Caravan by Divenire

Dave C, Chris and Dave CG look back on a pretty miserable week for Stoke and reflect on one point from two winnable away games. We try and asses the damage, and see if there's any reason to keep our current manager. Theme tune by Divenire. wizardsofdrivel.com

WELCOME TO QUESTION TIME! Tackling some of the big questions of the day, such as; "International football, is it all that?", "Child hood footballing heroes", the "Morality of being owned by a betting company", and "Which fast food chain should set up shop near the Bet365". With International football once again diverting our attentions away from club football, it's time to answer the questions you...

It's all a bit familiar isn't it, a 2-2 draw against Leicester? The Wizards are back, in an unfamiliar line up, as Dave takes some much deserved rest, and Chris takes the helm. Stoke YouTuber and blogger Dave Crowther Green takes up the title of being the show's "Dave", and talks about another "meh" match for the Potters, and in Part II, a returning Ben Cartwright features as the folks choose thei...

We won at the football! In Part One, Dave and Chris look back at a great 3 points at Vicarage Road, and try to contextualise the game (which doesn't mean we didn't enjoy it!) In Part Two, Jon Leonard (author of 'Fair Game? Tackling Politics and Sport) joins the pod to discuss football's relationship with politics. From 1930's Berlin right through to the Mark Sampson affair with lots of discussion...
