Thought Geoff, N'Zonzi and First-Half Kenwyne were the stand-outs. Geoff defended brilliantly and took it forward well, getting past his man and keeping possession perfectly. His brilliant interception and (only) good cross to Walters led to us scoring.
Thought we balanced tippy-tappy/direct play as well as we have so far and hopefully the more time Hughes had with them, the better we'll get, but already the improvement has been massive.

Much better than my celebration which involved me twatting the underside of the desk with my knee and looking like a silly cunt.

It's 4:13am Sunday morning here in Auckland and maybe it's the all day and night consumption of alcohol that's taken affect but did we just completely dominate away from home and win?
Am I hammered? Did that actually happen?

On tube on way back, what a performance, what a win! Dominated them from start to finish apart from a 10 min spell in the second half.
Whole team I thought were excellent, solid, created, looked to be positive at all times.

Thought Wilson was gash in midfield against Liverpool, but has got better every game. I thought Hughes should have tried switching Geoff and Wilson, but I'm glad he's stuck with them where they are.

Surely its time for the "Stoke City surprise contenders for Champions League spot" article to be dusted off?

First time in a long time I've come out of the away end and heard home fans praising us and saying we were the better team!

Just had a look on KUMB, expecting to have to sift through bitter comments to find any interesting points, but fair play to them, I agree with pretty much everything said on there, some really good comments about both teams. Here's some of the ones about us:
"Nzonzi was the 1st player I saw physically dominate Diame at UP last season and he did he again today. That's ok for me, sometimes you come up against better players."
"To be fair, Stoke deserved it. We never got going today and they were at it all game"
"Give stoke and Kenwynne Jones credit he did to us what we want AC to do to defences and we could not handle him in the first half."
"I also thought we defended too deep when Stoke had the ball, and fair play to them, they looked tidy and creative in their build up play."
"Stoke won fairly and squarely, they deserved the three points, they even played better football than us, so fair play to them."
"Two players summed up the difference between the teams; Maiga versus Jones. Maiga; slow, unsure, half hearted, careless and weak, going down far to easily. Whereas Jones was quick to the ball, aggressive, full of energy and strong in the challenge and wanting the ball all the time. "

Pennant's interview with Radio Stoke is honest ;D
Says the players are loving coming into training and actually getting a chance to play football and as soon as he heard we were interested in re-signing him he didn't think of going anywhere else. Then he said he thought he'd have a go at taking the free kick because "the previous regime" didn't want him to, Pulis would rather have Huth smashing it as hard as he could ;D

Steven Mitchell ?@stevemino 35m I can take teams that kick lumps out of you and I can take teams that go down easy under the challenge: but not teams that do both! #Stoke Jack Lebeau ? ?@jacklebeau98 6m Stoke today Embarrassing ;D
