"Can they do it on a cold wet Tuesday night in Stoke". This iconic phrase has since become a football parody, and unavoidable whenever discussions of the 'GOAT' come up. But is Stoke really the toughest place to visit under such conditions?
In this video, we take a deep dive into the reality behind the myth, with hard(ish) stats. We scrutinise every Tuesday night Premier League game from the 1992/1993 season to the 2023/2024 season, examining weather records to find out where truly is the harshest place to visit on a cold, wet Tuesday night.

This channel is gonna blow up, trust me. Top editing, and with Tifo being purchased by The Athletic and becoming a bit more corporate a lot of people want original animated content about football stories. Keep it up mate!!!

Champions of the cold wet Tuesday night league, you’ll never sing that 🎶

Over here in Brazil, we say Real Madrid woudn't be able to win more than a few matches on a national second division campaign, with state of the art chaos and misery. Same vibes, I guess.

I’m not British, so this is the first time I hear about the cold wet Tuesday night. Funnily enough my team (Mexico city’s Pumas) is actually kinda known for their dry sunny Sunday noon games, so I guess they can’t make it on a cold wet Tuesday night in Leeds 😅

Never knew the Portuguese national team loved cold wet weather :P

The mythologising of Stoke was picked up by a contributor to humerous Private Eye column. It featured, until recently, a fun collection of extreme posters with names such as Tim The House Husband, Gilfy Gracie, Darling Deneeze and...Stokie Steve. The last mentioned usually closed the debate (held by 'moderator' Bogbrush) with "Come up her to Stoke and I'll kick your fxxxing head in". I wonder if the column started in 2010. Anyway, quality channel.As a Spurs fan it pains me but I enjoyed your 'colour of' North London one as well. Subscribing and good luck.

Quality video mate, absolutely brilliant stuff and hope to keep track of your channel

Excellent video, thanks. Funnily enough I've often wondered this myself, so it's great to see. Not suggesting you do, but keeping it in the spirit of Gray, it'd be good to see it for 'weekday' instead of 'Tuesday' as I imagine he was talking about cold, wet, windy weeknights rather than any specific weekday - which doesn't make any difference. That way would give you two or three times more data to work with.

Wonderful video mate. Engaging and well produced in all aspects. Looking forward to your next upload. With the quality of these videos your channel is definitely going to grow, keep at it! Great channel name too.

Really enjoyed the video mate!

Wolverhampton makes sense. It's not far from West Bromwich, whose The Hawthorns stadium always seems somewhere between cold and freezing due to elevation.
