3 in a row for the tricked hippos. What is happening?

3 in a row for the tricky hippos. What the hell is happening?

Stoke beat the Mackems again, and we get to turn up the lights ahead of a tough week.

Chris and a solitary Matt go over what seems like old ground. What next for Alex Neil's Bucket Hat Potters? What next for Alex Neil who now sits at a worse point than Michael O'Neil did when he was sacked?

All that and more and that.

Chris, Dave, Matt and a returning Tony chat Bristol City 2-3 Stoke City. Should we get over excited? No, though Tony thinks yes. Do we have a new hero in Nathan Lowe who will inevitably now overhyped by fans? Yes.

Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin', Tossed salads and scrambled eggs, and maybe I seem a bit confused, yeah maybe, but not as confused as we are over Alex Neil's tactical choices.

Chris, Dave & Matt rant for 30 minutes.

Chris, Dave and Matt review Norwich 1-0 Stoke. Why is each season a constant time loop? Why can we not score away from home? And Dave brings about a new method of "good luck" to the pod.

We've got a lovely Korean boy! We're also sixteenth after a disappointing home defeat. The more things change...

There's a song, Plato, every transfer rated and appeals for calm.

George and Matt are your podders as they discuss Gary Rowett getting one over on us (again)

Outro by Nick Thorley.

Carl James from Watford pod Do Not Scratch Your Eyes talks about why Watford are so weird, what the future holds and stewarding at Stoke
