If West Brom have got cash, it's only because they didn't f*ck things up like we did

remember, they went up with us that year, and went into the last game in danger of relegation, just like we did.

This is Stoke's third season in the prem. My point was that, as a small club, they've managed that (and, for now at least, seem to be doing more than just surviving.)
