Full StoryA week in the life of football – Chelsea, Tony Pulis, Man City, QPR, Brisbane Roar, Rugby & Cricket scandals and more!
The international break arrives at the right time for Stoke City. Two weeks to take stock and for the new players to train together and prepare for the challenges ahead. The performance at Chelsea had some positive points. We got some much needed luck when Lampard wasted his penalty. After going behind we stayed strong together and the floodgate remained locked. Whelan’s long shot was nearly one of the goals of the season. It’s disappointing that after grafting so hard to stay in the game we clumsily gifted them the decisive penalty, it’s hard enough going to Stamford Bridge without helping them out. Jonesy and Walters looks as if they could become real stars for us. Walters has shown quick feet in the box and can give our attacking play an extra dimension. Only three games played but an encouraging start for him.

Full StoryBlatter, technology and a missed header – Joe’s weekly Stoke City Missive
Joe in Oz comments on the weekly happenings at Stoke City. There’s no question that Bale’s second was an impressive strike but, the point has to be made that Lennon being allowed to carry the ball unchecked was shoddy on our behalf. And for the first Collins was caught square and ball watching as Bale [...]
