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! @wizardsofdrivel for your Twitter chatter.
