By all accounts Stoke have been one of the sides underachieving so far in the Premier League. One of the more active teams in the transfer market over the summer, many expected the Potters to push for a top-half finish this term, but as of yet they have shown little to suggest they are capable […]

Stoke continued their recent revival with a hard fought win over Newcastle today, but the game will have been a learning curve for Potters boss Tony Pulis who had to switch back to his old ways after a poor first half. The Potters boss comes under criticism for his long ball tactics that offend most […]

While Robert Huth’s stoppage time strike may have earned Stoke their first Premier League win of the season, the night will forever be remembered for the unbelievable dedication shown by Potters boss Tony Pulis. Hours after the death of his Mother, Pulis arrived at the Britannia Stadium to inspire his side to a dramatic turn […]

Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross has today hit back at Arsene Wenger’s claims that Stoke players act like “rugby” players. The 23-year-old defender was left fuming after Wenger’s allegations saying: "He's obviously got something against me. It's just weird “He seems to have a problem with Stoke, our manager and certain players. Criticism doesn't bother […]

Arguably one of the most surprising transfers of deadline day was Eidur Gudjohnsen’s move to Stoke City. The former Chelsea forward has agreed a season long loan at the Britannia Stadium from Monaco, but will the Icelandic forward fit in with Stoke’s notorious physical game? That will be the worry for Potters boss Tony Pulis who […]

Stoke City has unveiled their new away jersey for the 2010-2011 Premier League season. The shirt is designed and manufactured by Adidas. It's navy blue in color with sky blue trim. And, in my opinion, it's miles better than last year's away kit which was black with red trim. The new Stoke City away shirt […]

Portsmouth Relegation was the least of Portsmouth’s problems from the season, with the on going off-the-pitch saga of the sheer volumes of money owed to the tax man.  This highlights that Football is not an exception to the global financial crises we are currently in.  Back on the pitch the poor start to the season, […]

If you want to see how much soccer has changed and what a cup final was like in 1972, this classic video showing the first ten minutes of footage from the 1972 League Cup Final is a must-see. The video looks like it's straight out of The Damned United with the tracksuit jackets and how […]

Stoke once again have compounded the critics and not only avoided the dreadful "second season syndrome", but actually improved their points and placing from last season. It's a fantastic achievement for the club and its passionate and noisy fans. I have to say that as an away fan at either the Brittania Stadium or the […]

Stoke City unveiled their new home football shirt for the 2010-11 season Sunday night. The design by Adidas is the first of a four-year deal with the German kit supplier. The three white stripes down the shoulders and arms of the Stoke City shirt are a good complement to the stripes on the front of […]

Stoke City announced this morning that Adidas will be their official kit supplier for the next four years. In normal circumstances, that would be good news but many Stoke City supporters are upset at the speculation (which has now been confirmed by Stoke City) that the backs of the shirts will feature a solid back […]

Don't ever let anyone tell you Stoke City fans aren't a passionate lot who love their club and their players. Due to an outpouring of support on the recent Premier League Footballer of the Week, I feel it necessary to give Mr. Fuller and the proud people of Stoke their full amount of credit that's […]

In a well-known game in England, one footballer slid into another late.  The challenge was poor, two-footed, and probably deserved a card, but there was no malice associated with it.  Unfortunately, the defender missed the ball and caught the other player’s foot, breaking his metatarsal bone.  The injury was hardly career threatening, but it did put […]

That's it then. Arsenal have officially turned the corner. In the same way that Eduardo's injury, Stuart Parnaby's dive and William Gallas's teary outburst reflected the collapse of their 2007-08 title challenge, so Ramsey's injury, Danny Pugh's waving arms and Cesc Fabregas's penalty will reflect Arsenal's glorious rampage to the title. Yet despite the significance […]

In the Jewish faith, the act of becoming a man at thirteen is a huge step. Standing before your family, friends, and the community as a whole, you are recognized as a full member of the community. For me as a Jew, that is the moment that I became a man. For most of you, […]
