The Wizards of Drivel - Stoke City Podcast

Watch out for the Shaq attack.

The Wizards are in a very happy mood after the Potters stroll to victory in Yorkshire. We rave about Shaqiri, praise the Potters’ quality and look ahead to some very winnable games.

We start things off though, with a nostalgia fest as we trawl through our 100 Premier League wins to find our favourites. In addition there’s chat about Hull’s awful situation (and their karaoke advertising hoardings), Peter Crouch’s Twitter antics, and wonder what went on in the tunnel at full time.

After the break, our American friend Zach joins us from Colorado and talks about following the Potters from across the Atlantic. Things take a turn as Geoff Cameron’s fondness for conspiracy theories is mentioned. #WakeUpSheeple

A short and sweet episode from the Wizards as we release our first ever pre-game preview show.

Ben and Dave discuss team selection and our favourite Hull-Stoke encounters, Then Dmitri from Hull City Fans TV joins us, and he's less than optimistic.

We've only gone and won a game! So you'd expect a podcast gushing with positives right? Wrong. The Wizards stick to format and pick some holes in the 2-0 win over Sunderland. Don't worry though, it isn't doom and gloom, as Joe Allen is praised, and there is a surprising confidence in the current defensive partnership.

David is away, so Chris is on hosting duty, and is joined by Jason Martin and Tom Thrower.

With it being the international break and no Stoke game to talk about, we present to you a special podcast, looking back at Stoke's 2011/12 Europa League campaign.

Dave and Chris have a natter about Stoke's run through the group stages. We reminisce about crazy Hajduk Split fans, Ryan Shotton's amazing games, and of course, Yoav Ziv's spectacular red card for Tel Aviv.

In the second half, Anthony Bunn (aka Bunny) from DUCK Magazine joins us for a chat about the Valencia games and his memories of five years ago. He tells us why Matthew Upson ruined his travel plans, a Croatian march from Hanley to The Brit - and we ask if it was right of Pulis to pick 'that team' at the Mestalla.

We really enjoyed making this one. It's something a bit different, so we hope you enjoy it! If you do, please share this podcast far and wide!

Football, bloody hell.

It's a positive podcast for a change as Jason Martin, David Cowlishaw and Ben Rowley look back on a mighty fine point at Old Trafford. We celebrate Lee Grant, Geoff Cameron, Joe Allen, and even Glen Whelan (a little bit).

There's also gushing praise for Shaqiri's nutmeg, despair at a lack of a red card for Mourinho's men, and you-know-who scores a brace for the U23s.

Onwards and upwards. @wizardsofdrivel for your Twitter chatter.

Another week, and 2 win-less matches, but at least we haven't conceded 4 goals! Dave and Chris are joined by Ben Cartwright to discuss Stoke's 2-1 loss to Hull in the League Cup, and the agonising 1-1 draw with West Brom.

The Wizards are back to review the thrashing at Selhurst Park, after yet another 4 goals conceded.

There's discussions on the future of Mark Hughes, David has brought a managerial name game with him, and Chris's 9 month old Daughter makes a cameo to tell us what she thinks of Jon Walters.

It's back to usual form this week after the positivity of the Transfer Special, as Stoke lose 4-0 at home to Spurs.

Dave, Jason and Chris are soul searching as we ask is it time for "Hughes Out"? Is a certain No.6 now past it? And will we ever score a goal again?

It's midweek action for the Wizards this week, as deadline day smashes all previous expectation, and Stoke sign 3 (4 if you count the young lad)players!

We talk Bony and his potential 20 goals a season, Martins Indi's move from Porto, and the most shocking transfer of the day, Lee Grant on a 4 month loan, alongside our despair at saying farewell (for now) to Big Phil and Jos.

Jason is away, so guest Kyle Norbury is brought in our a loan deal alongside usuals David and Chris.

It's a return to the original three Wizards for this tenth edition of the podcast. The Everton game sees Dave, Jase and Chris all rather exasperated.

There's some vintage moaning about the Goodison Park defeat, our hearts break for Shay Given, we worry if we'll make any signings, we discuss the near-deployment of N'Goy (#DeployNGoy), we talk about Soviet football manager saves and we reveal the identity of an elusive transfer guru.

This was one of our favourites to record, so we hope you love it.

Episode 10 is brought to you in association with Mark Hughes' Car Showroom.
