We asked you to photoshop an image of a jubilant Paul Lambert, here are the replies…

Lord of the Rings, Venice and Street Fighter...

Stoke City eased their relegation worries on Saturday afternoon.

With Mark Hughes now a distant memory, they roared to a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield Town in Paul Lamber’s first game as manager – a result which lifted them out of the Premier League’s bottom three.

Rightly so, Lambert was pretty chuffed with his team’s performance and didn’t hold back when celebrating their goals.

Just look at his bloody face.

Such was his delight, we asked JOE readers to respond to one of the images of his goal celebrations via photoshop. This one, to be precise.

As ever, you didn’t let us down.

Many of the responses were highbrow, such as this imaginative effort…

Rich here imagined the new Stoke manager as a Venetian gondolier…

Jim went with Lord of the Rings…

There was also this…

And a common theme emerged amongst many of the other replies we received…

Naturally, one of them made reference to Stoke’s recently dismissed manager, too.
