Fulham 2-1 Stoke City Premier League 11th February 2012
New-boy Pavel Pogrebnyak opened his account for the Cottagers on Saturday against a Stoke City
side who are now desperately in need of a win.
Wilson Palacios was given his first start in the league for Stoke City yesterday and his
services were required immediately. More immediately than he probably thought, as his mascot
suddenly had a need for his mommy. Or was frightened by Peter Crouch. Or he just knew he was going
to have to sit through 90 minutes of Stoke City.

Unbeaten going into the game, ten-man Stoke stumbled to defeat in Turkey in their final Group E
game, though it mattered little with them having already booked their place in the knockout phase
courtesy of a draw against Dinamo Kiev last time out.
Wilson, Wilson, Wilson Quite often footballers get stick for not beating the first man with their
corners. This effort from Stoke midfielder Wilson Palacios would have loved to make it to the first
man. Being cleared by a defender at the near post with a comfortable header would have been
perfection for this corner.
A plethora of former Tottenham players suited up in a Stoke City uniform and fully played their
part in ending the Spurs' 11-game unbeaten run with an impressive 2-1 win at the Brittania
Stadium.
Matthew Etherington, who was a Spurs player between 2000 and 2003, scored twice in the first
half, with his opening strike being assisted by Peter Crouch, who just left White Hart Lane this
summer.

Brad Friedel made waves with his comments about Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey this week, but
its his team that has been making waves in the Premier League recently. Friedel and Tottenham
Hotspur have not lost in the Premiership since the second week of the season, but they'll have to
see off tricky Stoke City this weekend if they are to continue their run of good form.
Every week I thought I'll write a post about one team outside the big four and this week I
thought STOKE CITY should be the team that opens the account for this series. Why Stoke? Stoke
re-entered the prem in 2008 and have stayed up for two seasons now, their style of play and their
track suit wearing manager are all very catchy and show character.

By Jon Levy A month ago it looked like we were in for what could pass for a marquee CONCACAF
friendly. Now that's wrong for a couple reasons. Aside from the fact that no "marquee CONCACAF
friendly" outside of U.S./Mexico exists, both the U.S. and Honduras have now both been hit with the
injury bug. [.
The scoop from Day Two ...
- Edson Buddle took part in both training sessions after arriving Tuesday evening. Juan Agudelo
and Tim Ream got in for the afternoon session.
- Both Jozy Altidore and Jonathan Spector participated in both sessions, confirming they will
both be available for selection this weekend.

Honduras was already going to be without a number of regulars for its friendly against the
United States on Saturday, but a recent development means that Los Catrachos will be even more
shorthanded than previously thought.
Stoke City defensive midfielder Wilson Palacios has had to withdraw from Honduras' roster due to
a knee injury, according to reports from Honduras, and he won't take on the U.
Clive Brunskill/Getty Images (Bleacher Report) Rory Delap has been a thorn in the side of multiple
EPL clubs over the past seasons. It is well documented how much Arsene Wenger despises the player's
long throw ability.
However, Liverpool have the fortunate advantage of making a trip to the Britannia Stadium this
weekend without having to come up against the Potters' not-so-secret weapon.
Wilson Palacios was one of the standout players in CONCACAF World Cup
qualifyingLuis Fernando Suarez has called in 22 players for Honduras' game against the USA on Oct. 8 at Sun
Life Stadium in Miami. Three players from MLS get the call: Marvin Chavez, Roger Espinoza and Carlo
Costly.
Despite their footballing talents, Kaboul quickly realised he wasn't exactly in the company of
great beautyWhere this blog is from, three wins on the spin, including two away from home and one
against a team being billed as top four elect, is pretty good going. Especially when you consider
the depths from where this winning streak has been born from.

There are four ex-Spurs players in the Stoke City squad and while the Potters also have league
and European ambitions to worry about, we can expect to come up against some, or maybe all of them
this evening.
As Peter Crouch, Wilson Palacios and Jonathan Woodgate linked up with Matthew Etherington at the
Britannia, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp revealed that he is harbouring some regrets at letting
Woodgate go.
Carling Cup. Tuesday 20th September 2011. Brittania Stadium. 7.45pm Kick
off.
It was surprising to hear that Harry Redknapp is interested in the Carling Cup. Having made his
disdain for the Europa League clear due to its allegedly crazy scheduling, it may have been
expected he'd think the same of a trophy where Spurs are playing just 48 hours after a Premier
League fixture.
Modric proving once and for all that his head is 'in the right place' (i.e. on his
shoulders).Project 2011/12 is finally underway. As Piers Morgan astutely pointed out on Twitter in
reference to his beloved Arsenal, 'the real season starts now'. Those embarrassing early few games
for both sides obviously don't count (erm, except that they do!
After spending a whole transfer window trying to offload fringe players and missing out on key
transfer targets due to inflated prices and a lack of squad spaces, Spurs fans must be astonished
by comments in Harry Redknapp's latest interview.
"If David wants to come to Tottenham I'd welcome him with open arms, he's definitely still good
enough to play in the Premier League"
This statement is a clear indication that there is no relationship between Harry and the board,
and further highlights the lack of vision Harry has for the future of our club.
Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has expressed his satisfaction at stopping Liverpool from playing after
his side beat the Reds 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium.
The win came courtesy of a contentious penalty after Jamie Carragher was deemed to have illegally
brought down Jonathan Walters, incurring the wrath of Kenny Dalglish after the game, with the Scot
displeased that his side had seen several appeals fall on deaf ears.
Match Review: Stoke 1 Liverpool 0
Liverpool feel to their first defeat of the season as their poor record at the Britannia Stadium
continued. The Reds have yet to win a league game at Stoke's ground in four attempts, and Jonathan
Walters' first half penalty was enough to secure victory for the Potters on this occasion.
Stoke City 1-0 Liverpool: Walters penalty ends Reds' unbeaten run
Liverpool's unbeaten start to the 2011-12 season was ended at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday
afternoon, as they were beaten 1-0 by Stoke City. The only goal of an exciting Premier League
contest arrived in the 21st minute, as Jonathan Walters thundered home a penalty to give Tony
Pulis' side the victory.
Familiar faces will be reunited when Stoke welcome Liverpool to the Britannia Stadium on Saturday,
with Peter Crouch and Craig Bellamy both set for their respective debuts.
Former Reds striker Crouch became Tony Pulis' record signing on transfer deadline day after leaving
Tottenham in a £10million deal and he is expected to start this weekend.

Liverpool head to the Britannia tomorrow to face Tony Pulis' Stoke City in one of the more
challenging away fixtures on the Premier League calendar. The Reds have only earned two points in
their last three visits, and the hosts have a well-founded reputation for being one of the least
hospitable clubs in the top flight.
Match Preview: Stoke vs Liverpool
After the drudgery of the international break, the Premier League returns this weekend and
Liverpool face a tough test of their new side with a trip to Stoke. Having taken 7 points from
their first 3 games, the new-look Reds have turned heads already this season, and a win at the
Britannia Stadium would only reinforce their return as a team to be reckoned with.
The dust may have settled, but it would be frightfully remiss to pootle along any further
without casting a beady eye over the various to-ings and fro-ings of the transfer window. Step this
way please...
Welcome to the Lane...

Curiouser and curiouser, we now somehow find ourselves bottom of the table yet with both of last
season's Players of the Year in the ranks.

The draw for the group stages of this season's Europa League has thrown up a number of difficult
and interesting challenges for England's representatives, with qualification through to the
knock-out stages far from assured.
Why Stoke are the window's big winners and Bolton the big losers, plus Arteta, Bellamy
and why I fear for Wales at Wembley
Stoke are the big winners of the transfer window, Bolton the big losers. Gary Cahill can now
leave the Reebok on a Bosman next summer, so holding out for £17million will hurt Bolton,
especially with their big debt.

Why Spurs chief Levy is my hero of the transfer window for keeping Modric
So who was the star of this transfer window for you? Alex Ferguson for swiftly snapping up two
of England's brightest young talents? Roberto Mancini for bringing in genuine top quality in Sergio
Aguero and Samir Nasri?

Now that deadline day's out the way, it's time to take a look at who's feeling smugly
self-satisfied about the whole affair and who spent the small hours of last night crying into their
pillow at the injustice of it all. Here, in no particular order, are the four biggest winners and
losers to emerge from yesterday's dealings.
Phew! It was that time again, and as per usual things were manic. We at In The Stands struggled to
keep up with all the kerfuffle and constant will-he-wont-he debacles. However, after much
journalistic endeavours, we have managed to finally pin down the most significant transfers on a
thoroughly exciting last day of the transfer window.
Tottenham fans will tomorrow have to take a look at their new squad list as Harry Redknapp and
Daniel Levy had a very busy deadline day. Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has revealed his delight
about signing two of Tottenham's players on Wednesday evening, hailing the qualities of both
Jermaine Jenas and Alan Hutton.
