1. Like father, like son. John Terry knows how to score when it matters. 2. Phil Brown will live to
fight another day after Hull's last gasp victory over Stoke. 3. If fatherhood has changed Wayne
Rooney, the only noticeable difference is he seems more inclined to shoot from 25 yards instead of
passing to team-mates in [.

Hull City face another critical game this afternoon in the Premier League as they welcome Tony
Pulis' tough tackling Stoke City to the KC stadium. Hull manager Phil Brown is under immense
pressure to deliver 3 points following the recent boardroom shake up which has left the Tigers boss
with a highly uncertain future at the North East club.

Are we a club in crisis? While I hate to disappoint the doom-mongers and mischievous press-men,
it is a little too hasty to go down that route just yet.
Come the full-time whistle we ought to have a clearer idea of where we stand. Naturally, this
being White Hart Lane, moderation is not welcome.

Have you heard the one about the hippopotamus and the wolf? Stoke City mascot Pottermus ruthlessly
sabotaged Wolves' chance in the half-time crossbar challenge when the two clubs met last weekend.
With the Wolves mascot preparing for their kick, the cheeky hippo sneaked up behind to deliver a
rugby tackle.

People have taken to Stoke like a bumble bee takes to honey. They arrived in the Premier League 18
months ago with the expectation that they wouldn't be strong enough to stay in the division. Now,
as a new decade is on the horizon, the Potters have done more than just keep their Premier League

Manchester United has reached the English League Cup quarterfinals defeating legend killers,
Barnsley, who had defeated both Liverpool and Chelsea last season en route to the semifinals. Red
Devils fielded a second string but included Michael Owen, who returned the favor with flying
colors by scoring the second goal for United.

A few weeks ago we hit Burnley for five despite not playing particularly well; this time our
scratchy performance did not have a five-goal veil to mask it.
Bravo Stoke
Stoke, labouring under the misapprehension that cracks would appear in the sky and the
apocalypse hasten if they let the ball ever come into contact with grass, showed precious little
attacking intent until we were down to ten men.

The Aztexan 25 October @ 10:14 AM EST
The Aztex have returned from their tour of England, victorious in all 3 of their exhibitions there.
They also trained at top-flight facilities, attended a couple of Premier League matches, and even
left a player behind for a trial in the big league.
- Game 1, Oct. 14 - Austin Aztex 1-0 Stoke City FC Academy
This game was a bit of disappointment to some fans, as we had assumed that Stoke would field their
first team, or at least some level of it, rather than the U18 academy squad.

Chelsea continued to hammer their opponents. After a 4-0 triumph over Athletico Madrid, the Blues
annihilated Blackburn Rovers 5-0 at Stamford Bridge. Things started on the wrong foot for the
Rovers, as the home side went into the lead with an own goal from Gael Givet in the 19th minute.
Ever since that, the game took [.

Tottenham Hotspur did not play particularly well against Stoke City, but we played well enough to
win. Whilst readily acknowledging our opponents' sterling defensive qualities and admirable
teamwork, we dominated for long periods and should have put this one to bed long before Whelan's
late winner. A bright start showcased Huddlestone's long range passing, spreading the [.

Ok, so Chelsea scored 5 goals today in a shutout of Blackburn, and Tottenham lost to Stoke
City. Plus, Aston Villa drew with Wolverhampton. I don't get it...
This is the kind of league that should be easy to peg. Honestly. How hard is it for Chelsea
to pick a direction? If they beat Blackburn 5-0 how come they can't beat Aston Villa or Liverpool
(other teams that aren't as good as them)?

Just a quick reminder: the Aztex are in England for the next week or so.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for the Aztex players and for many of them this is the
trip of a lifetime," said Rawlins. "Many of them have never even been to England, let alone been
exposed to the English game which they have seen and heard so much about.

With the season starting slightly earlier this year due to the World Cup, most teams in the
Premiership have played 8 league games already. Last season, the 8th round of matches was played
two weeks later, on the weekend of October 18th/19th. By the end of it, Tottenham were staring up
at every other team in the league with a lowly 2 points.

Though the 2009 regular season is finished for them, the Aztex are still going strong. A number of
players and other individuals were honored at a recent post-season awards banquet, and the team is

Tomorrow at three o'clock United face Tony Pulis' upwardly mobile Stoke City team at the
Britannia Stadium knowing that even at this early stage of the season it would not be wise to come
away with anything other than three points.
Stoke, since their promotion to the EPL in 2007/08, have looked well capable of competing at
this level and near unbeatable at times in their own backyard.

Did you read this column last week? If not, then you should have. It could have made you some
money. Nine out of ten outcomes correct, five out of ten results spot on, I should be backing my

Of course last week was a one-off, a fluke. Or was it? Here are my predictions for this week's

Stoke City may be a small club, but that never seems to faze them when they walk out in front of
the crowd at The Britannia. Saturday was no different.
Chelsea was visiting, and they brought their undefeated record with them, too. Stoke was ready
for a battle, though. It's pretty hard to describe how different Stoke is as a team when they are
playing at home.
