	Stoke City (H)
		Stoke clearly fancied their chances this afternoon, and initially came to play football with a certainty that bordered on arrogance.

		Stoke gradually began to get a bit more into the game, with their midfield quartet always looking to break forward.

	The Internet Football Ground Guide - Britannia Stadium, Stoke City FC
		Stephen Armstrong informs me; "if Stoke City gain promotion to the Premier League, then the ground capacity would probably be increased by filling in the gap between the Boothen End and the John Smiths Stand.

	Stoke City Preview Bluebird to the Bone - Unofficial Cardiff City News and Views
		So, Stoke City visit Ninian Park for the first time since that infamous play-off game, and the Bluebirds will be looking for revenge, particularly City skipper Graham Kavanagh who left Stoke to become Cardiff's first £1,000,000 player.
		Stoke City visit Ninian Park for the first time since that painful play-off defeat back in the 2001/2002 season.
		City haven't been playing the best football in recent weeks, but we're proving hard to beat, and I can't see Stoke breaking City's 5-match unbeaten spell at Ninian Park tomorrow.

	Fulham 1-0 Stoke City
		Unfortunately, towards the end of the match, it looked as though one of the Stoke City staff went down injured, possibly because of an object thrown at them from somebody in the Riverside Stand.
		Fulham have managed a 1-0 victory over Stoke City - a side that has not failed to win any of their league games so far this season.
		Stoke tried to get back in the game, but the Fulham back line kept them out - a stunning performance from the Welsh duo of Coleman and Symons, and of course Simon Morgan, who in my mind had an absolute stunner.

	Tims 92- Stoke City
		It was unfortunate that Stoke then went and scored on a break away, which gave them the momentum to go on another attack soon after, only for the referee to give a very, very dodgy penalty which they converted.
		It wasn’t all Wolves though, and Stoke had a golden chance to get back in the game when one of their players broke through into the box, but ballooned it high over the bar, leaving the score at 2-0.
		We soon began to dominate though, as Stoke started to sit back deeper and deeper, and despite missing several good chances, we eventually took the lead 3 minutes before the break, when Seol put in a good cross to Carl Cort who had an easy tap-in to put us 1-0 up.
