JAMES Beattie's heroic part in almost ensuring Stoke's Premier League survival should not blind us to the obvious.
EVEN against teams whose technique is obviously better than your own, the manner of defeat can be surprisingly small. In this case Stoke lost because of one bad tackle.
Just a glance at the fixture list must make very worrying reading for supporters of Middlesbrough, Newcastle United and Hull City.
After the injustice of that Newcastle equaliser last week, the result yesterday was massive for Stoke City.
MORE than 24 hours later I still can´t quite believe that Stoke failed to win that match.
Apparently the Boro played better football than Stoke did for much of Saturday’s match, but so what? They lost.
HAVING suffered a dispiriting opening defeat to Bolton, there was something wonderfully symbolic about Stoke putting one over Gary Megson's team.
If Stoke City can play as well as they keep doing in the second half of away matches, why not do it from the start of matches?
