‘8-0 Blues’, ‘No pressure’ – These Birmingham City fans are reminiscing ahead of Stoke clash

It’s been a long few weeks without seeing the mighty Blues, with the international break putting a halt to proceedings, but we’re delighted that the Championship is set to return this weekend.

After we managed to bag a win in the final game before the break, Garry Monk will obviously be looking to kick things off again with another win, but it won’t be an easy fixture.

Stoke City are the opponents this time around, and we’re expecting a tough one.

Fortunately, we do have previous games in this fixture to look back upon and grow a bit of confidence, and one of those games has recently been shared online by the official Brum Twitter page. 

10 January 1998: Stoke City 0-7 Blues

They’ve harped back to a classic game back in 1998 in which we managed to beat the Potters 7-0 in a game that’ll has likely gone down in the memory of many a Blues fan. 

A few such fans have been discussing that very fixture ahead of our game with Stoke City, and whilst some are simply looking back on the game with fond memories, others are hoping to see a similar story tomorrow.

Take a look at what they’ve had to say below…

What a game that was….and I remember all the Stoke fans going ballistic during and after the game

All great goals but if Messi scored the Mc Carthy we’d still be hearing it today #KRO
