You can't spell EPIC FAIL without the EPL: Stoke City

Location:Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

Nickname: The Potters, owing to Stoke's (apparently) famed pottery industry.

Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: Britannia Stadium.

Crest: For some reason, I really like this one.

Season So Far: EPIC FAIL. Not really though. Currently sitting just above the relegation zone with 24 points, a total that most experts wouldn't have expected for the entire season. Got off to a decent start but it seems like the premier league regulars have realized the trick and put a stop to it. Expect relegation. Crashed out of the FA cup to a League One team.

General Vibe to a Casual American Fan: Long balls, long throw-ins, and bruising defenders. The classic recipe for success on a budget. Also, fans of other teams seem to think that everyone in Stoke is on welfare. Who am I to argue?
